I recommend checking out the nearby restaurants before the game. They have happy hour deals that can save you some cash and fill you up before the event.

I think you should consider sitting higher up if you can. The views are still great, and you can save a ton of money compared to the lower levels!

Be mindful of security checks. I recommend leaving bags at home unless absolutely necessary; it speeds up your entry a lot!

My advice is to download the Capital One Arena app. It makes buying tickets and ordering food super easy, and you can even avoid the long lines at the concessions!

I think it’s smart to bring a reusable water bottle. They have refill stations around, so you can stay hydrated without spending a ton on drinks.

If you can, snag tickets for the upper deck. The views are great, and they're way cheaper than sitting closer to the action!

I learned the hard way that the post-game traffic is no joke! Try to stick around for a bit after the game or use public transport to avoid the rush

I suggest getting to the park at least an hour early, especially for parking. It can get crazy on game days, and getting a good spot is key!

i suggest bringing your own ball; it can get kind of pricey to rent one. plus, you'll have control over how the game's played. don't forget sunscreen, too!

I recommend hitting the courts around 4 PM. That's when the sun starts to cool off and there's usually fewer kids running around, making it more chill.

I recommend checking out their schedule for events. I stumbled upon a free community event that was a blast; it was totally unexpected and added to the fun!

I suggest booking your court time online instead of at the center. It saved me a lot of waiting time on a busy weekend. Plus, you can see which courts are available in advance.

I suggest visiting in the afternoon, around 4 PM. The sunset views from the wheel are absolutely breathtaking and totally worth it! Plus, it's less crowded at that time
