Which seats are the best in the house?

Question

If you could pick a ticket anywhere in the arena where would it be?

I've had the opportunity to be just about everywhere asides from the press boxes, and I think either 1st row of 200s, or corporate boxes ar the best...

Answer 1

I like going to games, but (I know people are not going to like this) the BEST seat is on your own sofa. I can go pee (AND SIT ON THE SEAT, without squatting), I can grab a beer and it's not 20 bucks, I can yell swear words and not worry about little kids hearing me, and best of all I can watch the game in my PJ's.
I know the lights, the sounds, high-fiving people you don't know, savoring that $20 beer.....it's good, so to answer your question, In an arena: behind the bench, but the best seat of all is my sofa.

Answer 2

Depends on the house.

Generally I prefer between the blue lines near center ice 7-8 rows back to give a good view of all the ice or in the second or third row right behind the net. You get a great view of that end decent in the other end and you really get to see the play develop from a different perspective,

Answer 3

I like center ice about 15 to 20 rows back. But I guess it depends on the arena.

Answer 4

While most people like to be in the first rows of the 200s, I would much rather be as close to the game as possible. You just feel so much more like your there if your in the 100s as opposed to the 200s. Sure you may get to see more of the play develop, but nothing beats being close

Answer 5

I like sections in the corners. You have a view to all areas of the rink. If you are in the middle sections too low, you lose some site lines especially down the boards on your side of the arena.

Answer 6

Sit up in about 200 level at HSBC Arena (you can get an Arena schematic at Tickets.com)...sit on the turn where the rink curves and you won't miss anything. Where your team shoots twice if you like offense or where your goalie will be twice if you like defense.

Answer 7

I've already seen the game from the rafters. I'd like to see the game once at ice level. After that, put me in the middle rows in a corner.

Answer 8

The Seats nearest to Center Ice & The Beer stand !!!

Answer 9

I personally like the first few rows of the second tier, center ice. Right at ice level is too low for me.

Answer 10

I believe it depends on the rink and what you want to see more. Some like behind the players bench, some behind the goal, I like the second tier - front row.
