This weekend we went to the Lowell Devil's hockey game at the Tsgonas Arena located in Lowell, MA. We went with my son's school and got discounted group ticket for $11 each.
Parking:
There are lots of parking locations in the local area. Not sure of off-street parking. The city of Lowell charges $10 to park in a city lot right next to the arena. Just a few feet away there is a private lot which cost us $5. Spaces in this lot are probably limited but we were in an hour early with plenty of room.
Refreshments:
If you plan on getting refreshments prepare to bring CASH and plenty of it! None of the vendors take credit/debit card. There is a JDCU ATM (near section J and K) but the line was rather long when we attended. Prices are rather steep as well. Some sample prices are the following: $5 - fried dough, $3.50 hot dog, $3.50 pretzel, $4.50 nachos and cheese, and $3.50 / $3.00 Pepsi brand drinks. For beer prepare to pay $5.75 for a Bud Light and $6.50 for Sam Adams. They don't allow you to bring any food or drinks into the arena.
Programs are $2.
Seating
I don't believe there is a bad seat in the house. Everything was clean upon arrival. During the game they offered tickets for some select games for $9. There was a piece of colored paper on each and every seat which detailed this. What a waste of time, paper, and ink. Everything appears to be modern, however the hockey scoreboard could probably use some updating.
Events
* Both teams come out to practice about 45 minutes before the game.
* For those that don't hockey there is 3 periods of 20 minutes each with a 20 minute intermission between the 1st and 2nd period and again during the 2nd and 3rd period.
* There was some events for the kids like T-shirt toss, chuck-a-puck, etc.
Overall it was great time the kids got bobble-heads (promotion going on at the time) even though our team lossed in the shoot out.
