NEAT HOCKEY TEAM w/ LOYAL SUPPORT for Arizona Hockey and the fallen AZ Coyotes. I enjoyed visiting the Tucson Roadrunners as they had a fun, family-friendly environment! The seats were comfy (albeit tight when it came to leg room and spacing) and the team staff seemed excited. Rowdy was a fun host with a pleasant vibe and Dusty (the Roadrunner mascot) was hilarious. I visited to support my Gulls as they took on Tucson so I wasn't the most popular dude in the arena but I was still enjoying myself. I got seats in Row D behind the visitors section and had a blast. I saw a diverse group of folks and families. I'm hoping Tucson does more to represent and celebrate this wonderful community! Right now, the themes and celebrations are a little weak/non-existent. Tickets are a bit pricey, it seemed like the higher seats inside Tucson arena would be a better bargain as they had more leg room! I managed to get a deal close to the ice, so I decided to sit in a tight space so I can be closer to my team. There's plenty of concessions and specialty items for hockey fans (tacos, burgers, donuts, acai bowls). Concessions were surprisingly not that bad, taste and price were satisfactory! The Tucson Roadrunners have a smaller fan base, but if they reach out to the diverse community around them and fix their stereo system , they'll be solid! read more

I've been going to hockey games since I was a young boy. When I moved to Tucson I was stoked to be able to continue watching hockey ... in the desert! I love the smaller venue and frankly, there isn't a bad seat in the house. Let's go Tucson! read more

A great Hockey team in a clean arena. The Arena is staffed by friendly staff, well stocked concessions, and condiments for your eating pleasure. The bathrooms are attended by polite staff who keep the area clean and orderly. Tucson PD are always there, giving a sense of safety in a public setting. The PA works just fine however the DJ's screech into the amplified sound system. It is nearly impossible to understand what being said to the point the ushers use ear plugs because of the noise from the PA. Some ushers have complained about the sound and nothing is done. What a shame, making paying customers have an uncomfortable visit. read more

Back again in 2025. Have to admit the crowd was light. It was a Wednesday night so lots of people don't come out. I can understand how the owners will make more money in Phoenix because more people will come out and support the team. So Tucson if you want to keep the hockey in the desert come out and support our local team and have a great time! read more

That's going to wearing our hockeys. They're always in a good game. Lots of fights food is really good cheese. I need a lot of people here from Sierra Vista and Tucson, and it's a really great crowd. It is a plus to get to the season and I do in tonight, and we go to the playoffs and now we have one more night. Let's a win against colorado a last of the two game season read more

I was invited to attend the season home opener on 10-19-24. My friend scored us really good seats in section 211 -- around the "35 yard line" and about 15 rows back which gave us a line of sight just above the protective plexiglass. I was a little surprised to learn that these (indeed most) seats are around $47. There really are no bad seats in this smaller sports venue, so even the next section up (cheaper?) gives you a decent view of all the action. Despite this being opening night, the arena was maybe only half full. I gotta believe if they offered family-friendly prices for the upper sections (like under $15?) the seats could be sold out. No outside food or drink is permitted. Metal detectors and security will screen everyone upon entry too. Fortunately, there are plenty of vendors - offering sodas, coffees, and alcohol, as well as a variety of food, from hotdogs to pizza to pretzels and cotton candy. The prices aren't too bad (although higher than outside the TCC). Bathrooms are at opposite ends of the horseshoe shaped gangway that lies above all of the seats and hosts all of the vendors. Noise levels (mostly from the music and the announcer) are fairly high. Almost every toddler/infant was wearing headphones. It's not quite rock concert loud but it is fairly constant and can make conversing a challenge. If you you are hearing-sensitive, bring small foam earplugs, just in case. Parking at the TCC for special events (like hockey, concerts, shows) is typically $10-12. If you're willing to walk several blocks, you can often score free street parking. read more

The games are enjoyable when the seats are not crammed with free or discount ticket holders who don't watch the game or their kids. It's frustrating as a season ticket holder and ruins the experience. Vail night was all just elementary kids in a weekday jacked up on cotton candy. Tucson is the first place I've been to where people keep their kids up late at night. It must be the Mexican culture. Not renewing tickets for the season- just unpleasant and a waste of money. I'll watch on Flo tv at home. Let kids playing on seats and people moving during stoppage. read more

First time & had a blast !!! Great Atmosphere and experience from start to finish. Parking in garage is $10 with easy access to arena. Staff was awesome, accidently tore my only $20 as pulling from my wallet, cashier still took it. Security was good, operation was smooth and no issues. I do not think that there is a bad seat in the house, good views from throughout the arena. Dusty the Roadrunner kept the crowd hyped, taking pictures with fans and banging the rally drum. Family had a great time despite the hard fought loss in O/T. Lot of action all night from the team on the ice, to the rally team. Look forward to future games as my mom-in-law fell in love with action. read more

I've been a season ticket member for years (and we have AWESOME seats)! I also have "seen behind the curtain" a bit too as I am Tucson's "Cowbell Guy!" We love going to the games for so many reasons - the players are super friendly to the kids, the Roadrunners staff is incredibly welcoming, the fans give the best high-fives, and the food options at the games are pretty legit! Food Pro-Tip: Start with the tacos and then grab some of the fresh warm mini-donuts for the 2nd period! Tickets Pro-Tip: If you're not a season ticket member and you're coming to a game, buy your tickets AT THE BOX OFFICE! You'll save 50% or more on the price instead of buying them online through Ticketmaster. Seats Pro-Tip: There isn't a bad seat in the house, but once you're in you can look around during the 1st and see where the open seats are. There are almost always seats available you can move to even if you want to sit on the glass! Cowbell Pro-Tip: Bring one! The Roadrunners love cowbells so much they have an official "Cowbell Night" (it's kind of like my own personal Super Bowl)! The games are loud so if you have someone in your crew that is sensitive to noise, I recommend bringing ear muffs. It's not uncommon to see kiddos with them... especially if there's a guy like me with a giant cowbell near by! If you want to eat before the game, I recommend grabbing Mexican food in South Tucson at Micha's OR grabbing a pizza to-go from Caruso's or a burger from Thunder Bacon Burger (both on 4th Ave) and "tailgating" in the church parking lot across from the arena. Tailgating in the Church parking lot is one of our favorite things to do... and, if you see me there, you'll see me in the Cowbell Guy jersey, come over and say hi! It's $10 to park - same as the garage, but supports the Church's mission helping people in need right here in Tucson. Let's Go Tucson! read more

The games are so much fun! Most of the seats are awesome because the arena is fairly small, so you'll get a great view of the action from just about anywhere. And they're very reasonably priced. The crowd was totally into the game and their team, which made the experience so much more engaging and fun. I'm glad the Roadrunners are downtown. I'll be going to many more games in the future! read more

Yay! I grew up in northern Minnesota where you learn to walk and then skate. Hockey is in our blood! So you can imagine how excited I was to learn that an AHL team was coming to Tucson and we got our season tickets to support our new team. The season opener did not disappoint with a sell out crowd and tons of enthusiasm our Roadrunner team won 6-5 against Stockton. This is a great venue and perfect for the entire family to attend. read more

I attended my first hockey game last night at the TCC Arena. The Roadrunners beat the San Diego Gulls 4-1. It was fun. I could have done without the noise from all the cowbells in the audience. Next time I'll bring earplugs. read more

We spent New Year's Eve at the Roadrunners hockey game. The game was held at the Tucson Convention Center. While not a huge venue, all the seats afforded a good view of the game. There were many empty seats, but there was still a lot of excitement and energy from the fans in attendance, including cow bells, clappers, chanting, and cheering. The concessions were normal, high priced event fare. We had the nachos with all the toppings. They were tasty and a nice snack to share. The intermissions were filled with a variety of activities that kept the fans engaged. It was a fun, family friendly way to spend an evening. read more

Fun time. Decent hockey! The usual in between period events. The usual promos on breaks. The game was sold out! The energy is fantastic. Great fans. Good to see. The Roadrunners played poorly tonight. However it is great to see some good local hockey! Makes for a good night because there are so many wonderful restaurants nearby (walking distance) that you can go to before or after the game. If you park at the game it is $10. read more

Very fun evening. Lots of entertainment during the intermissions, a really good fan base, everyone was having a very enjoyable time. Parking was easy, there only reason I didn't give 5 starts is that the men's rest room required a very long trek around the arena from where our seats were. I hope to go and see more games. read more

Glad to have professional sports in Tucson. Not many people seem to attend these games . Hockey is a exciting action sport. Disappointed Roadrunners here charge admission to a 2 year old carried in dads arms ( & not treated kindly by the ticket sales woman) ? He can go for free to u of az sports and most other sports venues. I guess they desperately need the revenue . Fyi little guy liked the game but charging a little kid admission not a way to build a fan base for now or future? read more

Man, its great to have hockey back in Tucson! Besides the U of A, Tucson does not have much as sports go, and it's fun to have the option of something different to go to. the arena is very clean and looks great. the prices of the food and drink are a little expensive, but nothing over the top, and you should expect that at any sporting event. They give away a lot of shirts during the game, as well as a few contests the crowd can be apart of. I recommend this to anyone who wants to experience something new and fun. I don't ever watch hockey and I enjoyed myself!!! Just a heads up, dress warm, its obviously cold in the arena. I saw a few people that wish they had thought of that before coming. read more

I'll preface this review by noting that I'm a veteran of attending minor league hockey games across the country and have season tickets for our home team. I attended a Saturday evening game and the (relatively small) arena more than half empty, devoid of any energy. I'd wager the reason for this is the obscenely high ticket prices. $20 is the cheapest ticket to get in the door, and it's $31-$38 to sit on the sides. For minor league sports - which is supposed to be accessible and family friendly - that's crazy. Apparently they've gone for the high price/low volume business model instead, which makes for a really quiet arena on a Saturday night. read more

Great entertainment! Wonderful addition to downtown Tucson. The games were fun and well attended, but its easy to move around too.

We took our 4 kids to the game last night and we chose that game because of the free Jersey for kids 14yrs and under.we were an hour and 15 min early and when we arrived were told they were out of jersys.very disappointing.with the cost of sporting events it's hard to afford to take a family to a game .I believe if you're going to offer giveaways fir kids then you should have enough for all of them. Other than that it was alot of fun and a great game.at least the hotdogs were only 1$. Jacki smith read more
