Huntington Center

Best seats

A1 Rinkside Center Ice seats between the benches are the premium splurge. The 750 club seats and the club-level lounge are a step up from the regular bowl.

Parking

The closest option is the Glass City Center underground garage (enter off Monroe St.), which has a covered 2nd-floor walkway straight into the arena. Downtown also has 950 meters and thousands of garage and lot spaces, many within three blocks. ($10–40 USD)

Getting there

The arena is at 500 Jefferson Ave downtown. From I-75 take exit 201-B (from the south) or 202-A Washington St (from the north), then Erie St to Jefferson Ave. TARTA's Walleye Shuttle runs from park-and-rides for Saturday games.

Bar scene

Hensville, the Warehouse District entertainment area next to Fifth Third Field a few blocks away, is the team's pre- and postgame headquarters, with restaurants, rooftops and live music.

Pre-game bars

• Fleetwood's Tap Room — Hensville pub with craft beer and live music (opens Fri/Sat at 4 PM).
• Hensville Live! — Hensville concert and event venue.
• The Skydeck — Hensville rooftop space for drinks with views.

Insider tips

• Purses can't be bigger than 6.5"x4.5"x6", and large bags aren't allowed.
• Expect metal detectors; take metal and phones out of your pockets.
• Doors open 1 hour before game time, and the food stands open then too.
• No re-entry, and there's no outdoor smoking area.
• Free open skate on the arena ice after select home games (skate rental $5).
