The seats were comfortable and the amenities were pleasing. They had a concession stand which served your regular Arena type food and snacks. Everyone at the arena were really helpful and nice. For being a smaller sixes Arena it really did get loud in there. The center court Jumbotron showed great video clips of the game, it really seemed like a state of the art arena. It was lots of fun.

I've been to a bunch of Sound Tigers games over the years to see my hometown WB/S Penguins play. I…read morewill say that I really like the hockey results here. The Pens have been super fortunate to win here quite often. A personal highlight was a few years back when we visiting WB/S fans outnumbered the Sound Tiger fans...good times. Anyways this arena is fantastic. AHL hockey is fantastic. Why is the arena always a ghost town?!? I think that has a lot to do with how expensive the tickets are here. You can sit lower bowl center ice for ~25 in Hershey, WB/S, Lehigh Valley, and Binghamton. Here ~25 only gets you corner seats. Moving closer to center ice the ticets go up to 48 and 58 to sit on the glass?! That's crazy for the AHL. It's even worse, that they are the Islander's affiliate, and you can regularly get into most Islanders games for 30-40 dollars. This building should really try having 20$ tickets, or maybe consider general admission since the crowds are so small. Someone in ticketing should really go visit Hershey or Bingo to see how they sell tickets and price their tickets accordingly. The half empty building really takes away from the game environment too. People in CT love hockey, just not at these inflated prices.

I visited the NB Bees Stadium in June 2021. It was my first visit so I'm not sure what it was like…read morepre-Covid, but this visit was not a great one. This stadium has lots of potential, though. Pros: -Inexpensive ticket -Reasonable food prices -Fun music -Great items in gift shop -Air conditioned gift shop -The bee mascot was readily available to greet -Hot dogs tossed into the crowd (lol) -Friendly staff Cons: -Broken, slanted and wobbly table (and therefore spilled my drink) -Subpar cleanliness -Broken down and dirty equipment in the upper seating area. (Naturally, the small children gravitated toward it- plus it was an eyesore) -Few prices posted in the gift shop; had to ask clerk -Fun Zone for kids was closed and in disrepair. No gate or sign indicating that it was closed until you walked all the way in only to see an empty area with the remains of a ride; the two staff members I spoke to had no idea if or when it would be back up and running. Kids were disappointed. Overall, would not return to this stadium unless some major improvements are made.

New Britain Stadium is the home of the New Britain Bees baseball team. They are a member of the…read moreAtlantic League and are not affiliated with Major League Baseball. Player salaries are capped at $3,000 per month. The league's website says that "more than 40% of Atlantic League players have major league service time" and that "the league averages more than 50 player contract sales to MLB organizations each year". Today we saw the New Britain Bees play the Long Island Ducks on the Fourth of July. Admission was free, seriously all you had to do was show up, go to the ticket window for a ticket, and give that ticket to someone at the gate and you were in. Parking was a modest five bucks, so no complaints there. We went up to the Alvarium Beer Pavilion and enjoyed a White Denim "It tastes like a Blue Moon" and a Cremo "It tastes like a Yeungling". Beers were 7 bucks a glass. After the beers, we grabbed lunch and got a hot dog and a kielbasa for $4 each. They were pretty good sized portions and tasted great (free sauerkraut is a nice touch). The stadium corridors and restrooms are painted bumblebee black and yellow and the stadium looked to be in excellent condition. The staff we interacted with was very nice, especially the young lady at the Alvarium Beer Pavilion who looked on in disgust and fascination as the hot dog eating contest in Coney Island unfurled before us on live TV. We had a lot of laughs wise-cracking about what we saw. Had it not been 96 degrees, we would have stayed a little longer, but free admission, cold beer, a great hot dog, and the crack of a ball against a wooden bat made for a few great hours. Happy 4th of July to all Yelpers!

Last night, not only were we fortunate enough to be guests at the Quinnipiac-Ohio State hockey…read moregame, but we also had the distinct pleasure of having our seats in the elite University Club VIP level, Holy Power Play!! The Quinnipiac sports complex is a real beauty to behold. Separate hockey and basketball arenas are connected by a central lobby on the first floor and by the very opulent University Club Level on the upper floor. The Univ Club level is a perk for corporate sponsors and Q benefactors. I knew this was going to be nice, when my host called me during the day, and said "don't wear jeans, its not that kind of a place". As we entered the dining room (through a private elevator), we were greeted by a hostess as though we had walked into a 5 star restaurant. It sure looked like a 5 star restaurant with dozens of white table-clothed tables and a gorgeous bar. The only difference was if you looked out the right side you saw the basketball court and if you looked out the left side you saw the hockey rink. The food and drink were amazing. We had a few cocktails when we arrived, and what was sitting on the bar? A giant dish of chilled plump shrimp and a huge charcuterie platter of cheese, sausages, and olives. Oh, and there was a big dish of candied walnuts for good measure. The dinner buffet line had caesar salad, a rice salad, baked chicken with risotto, mushroom soup, and barbecued tuna with soba noodles and kale. After the second period, they broke out dozens of desserts -cakes, pies, bon bons, ice cream, and coffee. There was an army of young servers running around clearing dishes, asking if you needed anything. Great service all around. The hockey arena was beautiful -The VIP level has its own seats in the upper tier- nice big plush seats. The Club Level hostess brought us out popcorn, as we sat sipping our beers and enjoying the game. We enjoyed the Q Band, the cheerleaders, the chants of the yellow clad Quinnipiac students, the whole experience. Quinnipiac went up 1-0, then Ohio State tied it up, and after a scoreless overtime, the game ended in a 1-1 tie. I was so impressed with the gorgeous sports complex. If you ever have the opportunity to crash the University Club Level like we did, trust me- jump at the chance.
