    This weekend was throwback to there days as the "Lizard Kings"
    Tara K.

    Always a fun, family friendly evening! . We sure do love a night out with the Icemen! Tonight was throwback night to there early days as "Lizard Kings"! Parking: $20 in the Vystar parking garage/lot $10 in the fairgrounds parking lot Tips: - if you enjoy craft beers, they have a decent selection near section 110. They offer local crafts (like Bold City's Dukes) near section 102 on draft. Wednesday is cheap beer night -- not the good beers though ‍ - eat before you come-the food is overpriced and not very good - I can't attend a game and not get the roasted almonds! just follow your nose! - purchase wolf hats for cheap on Amazon! - it is always cold (it is a hockey game after all)-so dress appropriately - after they let an opponent out of the penalty box, everyone yells "And they still suck!" - after the icemen score a goal, the fans will chant: "... he shoots, he scores , ... (goalie name), (goalie name), you suck, it's all your fault, it's all your fault, it's Al your fault wooooooooo!" I am missing a few words in there, hopefully you get the idea haha! - I feel like we've sat in about every section in the arena and each have their pros and cons. Personally I like sections 102-103, right in the middle of the arena. Second choice would be Section 108-109 where their seems to be a lot of season ticket holders, who make the games very fun. 116-117 is club seating, so you have your own bar and food venues. You can normally pick up tickets for as cheap as $20, and there are many games, so if your ever looking for something fun to do, this is it! "Let's go Icemen"! #travelwiththekirklands #icemen #jacksonville

    Great family fun experience. I would like to see a little more fan engagement via an excited PA announcer, or music, or organ playing. I know that attendance was down due to COVID, but this is not an expensive thing to do....also, there needs to be a SUPER LOUD HORN, like a big ship or a freight train, whenever the home team scores... you gotta lay on that thing....The Icemen scored 5 goals at the game we attended, but you would barely even know it...create excitement, get people pumped, and the team will feed off that energy. Also, I didn't really notice anyone combing the aisles to sell drinks, or 50/50 raffles, or chuck a pucks.... All of that creates a buzz during the game.... More sponsored giveaways would be good too....the Jacksonville Sharks do a good job with their floating shark balloon.... The Icemen could create something similar, just get a vendor to sponsor it, drop free pizza coupons, or haircuts, or free icees at the Gate station, something.. the kids really love this too. The marketing team needs some assistance to drum up more business with the community to encourage fans to keep coming back. Throw more shirts into the stands, etc. Love hockey and would like to see it stay!

    So much fun watching The Icemen aka Swamp Kings. Surprisingly on the eve of a Big FB game the arena is comfortably full. The enthusiasm is infectious! If you have not been please support one of Jacksonville's greatest minor league sports teams!

    Being in Florida, I'm not very familiar with the sport hockey. Was invited for a work event. I had an absolute blast! It was an amazing game! They played awesome music to get the crowd pumped up. They even had games throughout the breaks. We will be coming back for more games!

    This was my second Icemen game after attending the first one last year for opening night. I really didn't know anything about hockey other than the puck needs to go in the net and the refs let the players fight so I was pretty excited to experience it all again. Our seats this time were down in the front row and for me, it was colder there than being in the middle or top of the stands. I guess cold air IS heavier than hot air (*SCIENCE!*). But sitting that close does have some hazards, like pucks teasing you by banging up against the glass, threatening to fly over and take you out, players banging up against the plexiglass in front of you which will catch you off guard if you aren't paying attention. The game was pretty exciting as we almost saw a Hat Trick (same player scores 3 times in a single game). The time in-between the 20 minute periods was long but that's needed to "refresh" the ice. During this time they have little fun games or shows to keep the crowds entertained. The food was standard but it is what it is. I had a cheeseburger, fries and a coke because I was starving and hadn't eaten all day. It wasn't anything I'd seek out on a regular basis but it did the trick. I had fun so maybe from time to time I'll check them out again.

    I just learned to love ice hockey recently! I've watched it before in the past on TV and thought it was rather boring. But when the Icemen came to town last year, my hubby took me to see them. I BECAME HOOKED! The Icemen games are fast-paced, fun, action-packed, reasonably-priced, and full of sudden fights on the ice!! The Jax crowd really gets into the games: chants, singing of songs, & getting hyped up by Fang and the announcer! Hint: Go early, park off Adams St., go to the Intuition Brewery, and have a few, local beers/some tasty food before walking over to the arena.

    Ugly sweater jerseys.

    Hockey is back in Jacksonville! Funny to hear people not even know that we had the Lizard Kings and Barracudas. Thankfully the Icemen are part of the ECHL which is a mid-level minor league and has grown considerably. The team puts on a decent show and overall does a good job keeping people entertained - even during intermissions. There is just enough background stuff going on as well as announcements and activities during breaks to keep a good flow going. I like the atmosphere created as it is not sensory overload but they fill the lulls sufficiently. The overall "problem" is the team is just not very good. This night against the Swamp Rabbits, they appeared undersized and out-skilled. I know it's the inaugural year and the 6,000+ attendance showed that the newness has somewhat waned but a good sized crowd nonetheless for a cellar dweller team.

    Hockey night with the Jacksonville Icemen vs the Florida Everglades. Bought the seat online on the day of the event and sat in the 8th row behind the goalie. Great view of the entire ice. Watched goals close up. Saw fights close up. Good arena with good views from anywhere. Fun camera events such as the Simba Cam and the Awkward dad dance cam. Fans were noisy and fun. Food available was good. Unfortunately the Icemen did not cometh, they lost-eth. Will be going back.

    Ice hockey is back in Jacksonville! Inaugural game with a sold out crowd was tons of fun and it was great to experience it in person. I support all the local sports teams, and I remember last year thinking if only there was ice hockey... and then a press release came out announcing the Icemen were going to be here October 2017! If you have not been, you should come to a game. Great for the whole family. While there is a lot to see on the ice (and the obligatory ice ballet/fighting between players), I enjoyed seeing the crowd and various ice hockey spectator traditions including heckling penalty box occupants and pounding on the panels around the rink. The Arena is a great venue, so come on down and support our local Canadian-err ice hockey players. After all the stories locals have told me about the Lizard Kings, I want ice hockey to stay in Jax for a long time. Go Icemen!

    Back again, This time we bought an Icebox Suite down on the ice, it was such a great experiences, even thou we lost the game. there was 8 of us in total in the Icebox, plenty of room to spare for more if needed, the food was a miss, but we did work to get some Pizza and Wings for the event, the free hour of beer was very hard to find, but once we got everyone there it was fun, we will do it again for sure, not expensive at all compared to seats behind the glass, Try it once, you will love it!!

    This was my first Icemen game and it was fast and exciting. They put on a great family friendly event that insured excitement throughout the game. The concession prices were fair and they had a large variety of items on the menu. This a great family outing in downtown Jacksonville.

    The arena itself is fairly average.

    The coach is the worst I ever seen. We're done paying good money for the 904 club to watch the team lose and trade away the good players.

Even with a rainy Thursday evening in the…read more904, Barry Manilow brought pure sunshine and unmatched energy to the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena for one last unforgettable night. I'll admit, I only knew a handful of his songs--all thanks to the office radio locked on Yacht Rock over the years. LOL. But honestly? That was more than enough to be completely swept away by the nostalgia, dazzling showmanship, and incredible production. Seeing him light up that stage at 83-yrs young, looking so vibrant and completely owning the choreography after everything he has faced with his lung cancer recovery, is nothing short of inspiring. *:。゚ \ (・‿・) /゚*:。゚ May we all have that kind of grace, talent, and energy to rock sparkly jackets and shoes at his age! Thank you, Barry for stopping by "The River City" one last time on this farewell journey!
