Going to Saint John!

[Sébastien]

Hey guys!

I'm bringing a gang to watch the Wildcats-Sea Dogs game on December 30th.

Couple of questions.
- I know there's an a-hole rule about no horns, but are there any other stupid rules we should know? What's this "yellow line"? are typical plastic horns allowed? Noisemakers?
- Where would you guys say the best seats (that aren't season tickets ) are in this rink? Obviously, we want the best of both worlds: closest to the action as possible, but still a good overall view of the play.
- The game is at 4pm. At what time do the doors open? Any parking difficulty?

And the most important:
- How a-hole are the ushers against opposing fans chearing loudly?

Well first off ... it's Saint John, not St-John .

There's a few sections where horns ARE accepted. There's also a few sections were drinking alcoholic beverages is NOT permitted. Doors open at 3PM. Parking isn't difficult however there is a small fee. If you're going to go to the mall to eat before I suggest you go park at the arena and leave your car there until you leave(this is permitted and you save yourself the parking fee) You can get to the mall through the walk path tunnel(forget the name of it)

Ushers aren't that bad as long as you aren't cursing or standing up during play and such...


As for the good seats, typical arena, depends what you like. I've save 4-5 rows from the ice and that's good. You get more leg room then Moncton so 4-5 rows from the ice in SJ is 6-7 in Moncton. I don't recommend corners in any arena but that's just my opinion. The upper bowl is decent, not horrible like the Metro Center.

All in all, arena is nice, basic, straight forward. Nothing out of the ordinary other then the horn rule.

You can click on each section and get a view from each section might help a bit

You can also click on purchase tickets and you can see which seats are still available in each section. Also you can buy them online just make sure ya get there early the lineups can get insane before the games.

I think this game looks pretty good for a Sunday crowd I know the middle sections seem to be filling up fast.

Horns are allowed only in section 6 & 7, however a cowbell or another form of noisemaker is allowed...as long as it's not a horn. Cheering, be as loud as you want....

Yellow line rule no longer exists, because there isn't one. As long as you stand behind the railing, you should be good.

Non drinking sections are in D, E, L, 5, 6 & 15.

Best seats for leg room in my opinion is the upperbowl, and rows 9 & 10 in the lowerbowl sections. However the seating is MUCH roomier than in Moncton.

Thanks everyone! Can't wait to see my first game in Saint John.

FYI. Google "Harbour Station". Check what you get...

I prefer row 8 in any lower bowl section. Sections N & U always seem to have lots of seats. Sitting along the ice in the corners is actually a great place to see a game.

Bring the horns, raise a stink, help us get this stupid rule changed!

Parking is $3. As Penguin said, go early and take the pedway straight up to Rocky's for a meal and some beers.

PEDWAY! I wasn't gonna sleep tonight until someone say it, thanks. Rocky's is a great place, we usually go there. Perfect for a Sunday, get to watch some NFL before going to the game.

As a visiting fan you probably want to sit in section M as that is where your bench is. I recommend row 8 as like dogbert said it seems to have more leg room for that section than the others. It is a drinking allowed section. No horns allowed in that one. All else is okay.

wear a wildcats jersey and they likely won't enforce the no-horn rule
