Very rarely do fans have the opportunity to experience the first hockey game ever at an arena. And this event was treated as though it was opening night rather than the mid season game it was. It was spectacular and entertaining the entire evening. The game itself was close and exciting. Looking forward to more games in the future at Acrisure Arena
We were able to snag VIP tickets for the Opening Game of the Firebirds. The seats were great you were able to stand up at time during the game. One of the food courts and reatrooms weres 20 steps behind us. Food was good. A few things I did not like 1st the gaurd rail was in oir line of view for the game. The #1 fan throwing t-shirts never went to our level. Fuego appearance was so short we were disappointed. They did win thier 1st game looking forward to going back to support our team. Let’s go Firebirds!!!!!
Love that we can see good hockey in the valley. Great venue! Beautiful rink
Great experience, go firebirds . Great venue , things are getting better . They working out the kinks .
Our experience at the inaugural event was very good overall. The arena is beautiful, the concessions were very efficient though understocked and out of menu items by the second period. Staff get an A+!!! The biggest disappointment is that there is only one tv screen and it is not convenient for a good deal of the arena. TV’s should be placed all around the arena so the game and notifications can be easy seen and followed - like most NHL arenas. Lacking these I won’t be inclined to attend future games unless I can get seats in the middle on either side of the arena - and those seats are generally more expensive. We sat at the north end of the arena and saw little of the game at the south end and none of the happenings on the only TV which was behind us.
Fun venue. Nice stadium. Firebirds have some offensive power making it entertaining. Crowd into it. Food ok though typical stadium over-priced. Way too loud music ran every break at over 90 decibels. Yet could barely hear announcing on public address system. Bring ear protection. If you forget, guest services has some. P.S. - ‘Boo birds’ crowing even when other team just comes out for warm-ups - low class behavior. Remember there wouldn’t be a game if the visiting team doesn’t show up.
This arena is awesome. It was clean and for the most part organized. It was better than I could’ve imagined. The only thing I think that could use some attention is a team store. They only have kiosks for Firebird merchandise. I would’ve really liked to see an actual team store dedicated at the arena, after all it’s the home of the Firebirds. All in all great arena, great atmosphere, and amazingly helpful staff!
Supervisors on down need to know what doors atre opening and have that section(s) ready for customers to come in. Supervisors need to make sure where everyone is at and doing a smooth job. Also if you station someone at a door they need to know what is going on, what door is openning, where is the restrooms, what does the event have as far as eating, both inside or outside ect.., not someone that only says "I don't know" to every question ask of him. Other wise great event.
Easy access, easy parking, well-marked signage inside and out - lots of outdoor and indoor eating & drinking opportunities (more warm/hot beverages would be nice) - great sight lines to the arena floor. Long lines at bathrooms and food during intermission (expected). Definitely a go-to place for any event
Great to be part of the inaugural game of the CV Firebirds . I was impressed with the calibre of the talent, the facility is wonderful , we chose to use the off site parking and shuttle and that worked great , the whole experience was first rate.My only beef would be , I enjoy a couple of bevy’s at these events and 19.00 for a rum and coke is way too much in my mind , that was the the cost two nites before at the concert when I had one . More reasonably priced and I would have had a couple ✌️
THE GAME THE TEAM THE ARENA THE BARS IT'S ALL AWESOME. Parking's a bit meh, but on the whole IT'S AWESOME!!!
The Coachella Valley definitely needed a venue like this one. We had an amazing experience and enjoyed being at the CV Firebirds opener. Our first hockey game ever and we loved it. Thank you!
Parking is still confusing. We had prepaid tickects and just followed the signs. But once in the we noticed signs that indicated that if you did not have a prepurchased ticket you were supposed take a picture of the sign indicator. So what stops you from just coming into the lot and parking? Also there are no signs for different sections or rows. Inside the area it was great numerous great food spots. Great facility. Looking forward to the Eagles concert. On the way out on Verner, personnel who were directing traffic only had red flash lights making it hard to see the individual. Street lighting would definitely be helpful to make this safer before someone gets clipped
Super venue for minor league hockey with great sightlines! But cheapest paid parking ($25 with all fees) is the same price as Dodger Stadium, which is not a complement, especially given that there isn't a single parking meter in the Coachella Valley. Concession prices are the same as Madison Square Gardens, which, again, is not a complement. And there isn't a single water fountain or bottle refilling station on the property, which means that here in the arid and often hot Sonoran Desert when you need quick hydration, your sole option at Acrisure Arena is to either bend down and drink from the faucets for the restroom wash basins or pay $5.50 for a small bottle of water. No way the lack of water is an inadvertent oversight in a $300 million facility built by professional architects and tradespeople; it was a management decision to maximize profits. I'm sure lots of folks here in the Valley won't have a problem shelling out L.A. or New York money for concessions, but typically people go to minor league games to get away from the crass profiteering of big city major sports venues. Definitely go to see the arena once, but if you have a limited or fixed budget as do many here in the desert, there are other things to do for entertainment.
We left after the second period because many fans around us were drunk and disorderly and were showing very poor sportsmanship. The venue, the parking food offerings and drinks were five star.
Easy access even for parking. Beautiful venue with multiple good food and drink options.
Wow! Very exciting! What a great experience to be a part of history in the making. Other than the excitement of watching our very own hockey team play their hearts and WINNING, the best part was at the beginning when our national anthem was being played. One brave soul sang out loud and everyone joined in. At that moment, not only was I proud to be an American, but I was also proud to be a part that crowd, 10,000 strong. God bless America and every single person who made that event happen!! GO FIREBIRDS!!!!!!
It’s so exciting to have professional hockey in the desert! Everything about our experience was fantastic. Easy access to the arena and parking, entry into the arena was organized and moved well even with a large crowd and the atmosphere in Acrisure was electric. The ring of fire is a perfect fit!
We had not been to a hockey game for over 40 years. What a fun fast moving experience. Opening night was a special treat. Lots of action and lots of fun. The only down side, was there were not hot beverages. Hot chocolate or coffee would have been nice for us senior citizens.
As Coachella Valley residents we are so excited to have the Firebirds making this their home. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food and drink options were surprisingly diverse. Can't wait to get back with the family for another game.
