Tip #1 – Make Bridgestone Arena parking reservations ahead of time

You don’t have to be a Scout to know that it’s best to “always be prepared.” That’s certainly true with parking, especially in a big city where the streets are unfamiliar and you don’t have the inside scoop on the best place to stash your ride. Never fear—we’ve got you covered! Download the ParkMobile app and make parking reservations for Bridgestone Arena right from your phone. Easy as sweet potato pie. Now that you’ve got parking peace of mind, consider this line-up of fun heading to Bridgestone Arena:

Try to keep an eye on that puck as it flies across the ice and rockets into the net! The energy is electric at NHL games – on the ice and in the stands. You’ll be glad for that Plexiglass barrier.

Get ready for edge-of-your seat excitement as life-sized dinosaurs roam the arena and make you feel like you’ve just time-traveled back to the Jurassic period.

Tip #2 – Skip the long lines; know the bag rules

The first thing to note about bag rules is that backpacks are a no-go. If you’ve got a purse, you’ll need to show it at a security checkpoint in a regular entrance line. Psst – beat the crowds and use an Express Lane by bringing these instead (each must be 12”x12”x6” max):

    • Clear draw-string bag
    • Clear gallon freezer bag
    • Clear tote
    • Single-opening clutch with no inside pockets
    • Wallet
