Best seats

Single-level bowl, so every seat is close. Sit on the north side for the best view of the centre-ice logo, or book a ticketed table at the Horsepower Sports Bar, which looks out onto the ice from the west end.

Parking

Big on-site lots. The Far North Lot is general parking, first come first served. The Near North, East, West and South lots need a season, club or suite pass. The team asks fans to use the north lot so they don't have to cross busy Bayview/Mapleview on foot. (Free)
