• Parking: Parking options vary by event — check the venue's official website or a local parking app for availability near the venue.
• Public Transit: Public transit options vary — check your local transit authority for routes near Erie.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft are recommended. Designated pickup and dropoff zones are typically available near the main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 30–45 minutes before puck drop for general admission events to secure your preferred spot. This timing helps you move through entry lines smoothly and settle in before warmups. Since it’s an indoor venue, weather won’t impact the ice or seating — a welcome perk during Erie’s colder months.

If you’re driving, give yourself a few extra minutes to navigate event-day traffic and parking in the surrounding area. For those using rideshare, confirm your pickup and dropoff point after the game to avoid congestion as crowds exit. If you’re meeting friends, pick a landmark outside the main entrance ahead of time so your group can head in together.

With a standard arena layout and no significant elevation changes, entry and movement are straightforward. Arriving early is the simplest way to sit together for general admission games and enjoy the pre-game atmosphere.

Venue Navigation

Inside, you’ll find a compact, straightforward layout that makes it easy to get from the entrance to your seats. Concessions are available, so you can grab refreshments between periods without missing much of the action.

Because the venue doesn’t feature significant elevation shifts, getting around is simple for most fans. You can expect a classic, no-frills game-day setup focused on the ice — ideal for catching every play and celebrating with the crowd.

Pre-Event Planning

Check the Mercyhurst Ice Center schedule early so you can coordinate with friends, pick a convenient meeting point, and arrive in time for general admission seating. If you’re attending with a group, entering together is the best way to sit side by side.

Make a night of it by pairing your game with a meal at one of Erie’s nearby restaurants before or after the event. If you prefer a quick bite, concessions are available onsite so you can refuel between periods without leaving the arena. Keep your digital tickets handy and review your order details in advance to streamline entry.
