Good experience overall
by Tom on 2/3/25Blue Cross Arena - RochesterRating: 4 out of 5Friday night I took my 9-year old son to his first ever hockey game. The game itself was very exciting and the Amerks won 4-1. We got seats right behind the announcers and the penalty boxes which helped him really connect with the game. There were only 2 downsides to the entire evening. First, my son was heart broken when 2 kids sitting a few seats down from us got hockey pucks from the lady working in the penalty box and he was not chosen for one. She would have no way of knowing this was his first game or that it would have upset him, so I don’t blame the team by any means, but it’s part of what we experienced. Second, I would recommend some kind of heads up about the parking situation at the civic center parking garage when you buy tickets. We planned to get to the rink 45min early to look around and parking was so bad that we missed the puck drop. Again, not the team’s fault, but I would appreciate parking options being listed with the tickets. We still had a good time and really enjoyed the game. We will be back for sure.
