Bridgestone Arena

I recommend using rideshare services instead of parking. We had trouble finding nearby lots and ended up paying more than we planned on parking fees! With rideshare, you'd skip that hassle completely.

arrive at least 1.5 hours early if you want to avoid the crazy crowds! parking fills up fast and getting through security can take some time. trust me, it was a hectic rush for me!

Grab a seat in the lower level if you can! The views are amazing for basketball or hockey. I sat in the upper deck once and, honestly, it wasn't as fun. The energy is way better closer to the action.

For a unique experience, try to sit in the end zones. During the hockey game, I caught some thrilling goals up close that I wouldn't have seen in a regular seat! Definitely worth it!
FedEx Forum

if you want to save some cash, consider buying snacks outside instead of the expensive food inside. there are tasty options just a block away

I think it’s a good idea to explore the area around FedEx Forum before or after the event. There are some great photo ops and local spots to check out.

I suggest checking the events schedule before you go; there might be a concert or event that’s a lot of fun! It can make your visit way more exciting.
Thompson–Boling Arena

Bring a clear bag! They have strict security measures and I saw folks turned away because of their bags. A small, clear backpack is perfect for snacks and essentials.

parking can be tricky and pricey near the arena, so i suggest looking for free parking spots a few blocks away. a little walk won't hurt and it'll save you some cash!

Get to your seat early to soak in the atmosphere. I showed up just 30 minutes before the game and missed out on some fun pre-game activities. Aim for at least an hour before tip-off.

Don’t skip the local food vendors outside the arena. I tried some awesome bites that were way cheaper than the concession stands inside and tastier too!
Memorial Gymnasium
I think parking can be a hassle, so if you can, use rideshare apps - it saved me time and stress figuring out where to park

My advice is to check online for special promotions or discounts on game tickets. I found a deal that saved me a good chunk of change!

I suggest getting to the game at least 30 minutes early to grab the best snacks - the popcorn is a must-try! Also, the lines can get really long closer to tip-off.
