Best seats
Steep seating gives great sightlines all around. The blue seats on the south side are newest with the most legroom, though support beams can block the video board (TV screens fill the gap). Sit on the south side for the centre-ice view.
Parking
The Aud's general lots (C, D, E, F, G) are free. Lot A is reserved paid parking, and Lot B is for carpools of 3+ people. Enter from Ottawa St or Stirling Ave, and arrive early because the lots fill up. (Free)
Getting there
400 East Ave, just east of downtown Kitchener and right off Highway 7 (take the Ottawa St exit, then East Ave north). Most fans use the main concourse entrance off Eugene George Way.
