Parking? Easy! We paid $5 for basically premium parking. I'll take it. We bought our tickets online and printed them rather than buying them the night of. The ticket sales are indoors (mega plus when it's as cold as it was outside). This game ended up on Star Wars Night, which made for some pretty entertaining sights (like Boba Fett and a Stormtrooper dancing near the doors after the game was over), but this being our first Thunder game I'm not sure if the Star Wars event made for more kids than normal. Either way, it didn't both us, a mid-late 20's couple without kids. We will honestly be back. Worth the $20/ticket, super cheap parking, and cheap concessions. We're avid Blackhawks fans, and this still new USHL team and their venue is definitely up-and-coming, their fan base is growing, and we were overall impressed. I bought our tickets as a Christmas present to my husband as something for us to do (we live an hour south of Bloomington, originally from the Chicagoland area), and he was iffy at first because it was so random, but he kept thanking me after we left and demanded we come back! And we will! Oh, and we left with a couple of shirts. Can't wait for the next one!
