Top Hockey in California

Arrive at least 90 minutes early to soak up the vibe and grab merch. I was stuck in traffic and missed half the warmup which was a bummer.

If you're sitting up high, bring binoculars or use your phone to zoom in on the action. It really helped me get a better view!

Check out the merchandise store, but don't buy right away! Prices are better after the game when they often have sales. I snagged a cool jersey for half off just by waiting.

My advice is to sit in the upper level if you're trying to save money. The views are still great for basketball games, and you can enjoy the hustle and bustle below!

If you're using public transport, make sure to plan your route ahead. I underestimated the time it would take and almost missed the opening tip-off!

For the best experience try to get seats close to the action especially for hockey. I sat far back once and missed the feel of the game. It's totally worth the splurge!

Plan your bathroom breaks strategically. The lines can get ridiculous during intermission, so hit it before the third period starts!
