The Pegula Ice Arena At Penn State is more than an ice arena — it's a state-of-the-art hub that elevates every fan experience on game day. Looking for Pegula Ice Arena At Penn State upcoming events? Set right on The Pennsylvania State University campus in University Park, this modern facility pairs elite college hockey with community-driven ice programming.

Officially named Pegula Ice Arena, the venue opened in 2013 and seats 6,014 for varsity hockey on the main rink. Its expansive glass façade and open concourse let you keep an eye on the action while you move around the building, and two full ice surfaces — a main rink and a community rink — keep the energy buzzing year-round.

Home to the Penn State Nittany Lions men’s and women’s ice hockey teams (NCAA Division I), the arena has hosted its share of big moments, from the first D-I varsity games in 2013–2014 to Big Ten hockey tournament games. Beyond college hockey, the building serves as a centerpiece for public skating, youth and community hockey, and figure skating events.

Technologically, the arena is built for elite performance and fan comfort with state-of-the-art ice-making and climate control systems, plus advanced sound and lighting for events. That forward-looking design is backed by a transformational $102 million gift from Terry and Kim Pegula — the catalyst that helped elevate Penn State hockey to Division I.

Whether you’re here for a high-energy Big Ten matchup or a community skate session under the arena lights, the experience is polished, comfortable, and unforgettable from the moment you arrive.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Pegula Ice Arena At Penn State

University Drive, The Pennsylvania State University

University Park, PA 16802

Located on the Penn State campus in University Park, the arena sits in the heart of Happy Valley. It’s approximately 90 miles from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, making it an easy regional trip for fans.

• Parking: On-site parking is available in adjacent lots with additional options in nearby campus lots and garages; event parking fees may apply.
• Public Transit: Served by CATA (Centre Area Transportation Authority) bus routes that connect campus and downtown State College.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are near the arena entrances — follow event-day signage and staff directions.

Arrival Recommendations

Arrive 60–90 minutes before puck drop to secure convenient parking, breeze through entry, and explore pre-game amenities on the open concourse. The arena is indoors, so games go on as scheduled; however, winter weather can affect traffic and parking, so plan extra time on snowy or icy days.

If you’re using CATA, check route timings to arrive early and avoid lines at the gate. For drivers, follow event signage to the nearest available lot and note the designated rideshare zones if you plan to use a car service after the game. With moderate walking from surrounding lots, comfortable footwear is a smart call.

Mobile entry is common and cell service is generally strong, but it can get spotty during large events — download your tickets in advance and have them ready at the gate to keep your entry smooth.

Venue Navigation

The arena’s open-concourse design makes navigation intuitive — you can circle the main bowl and still watch the action through glass railings, with views of both the main rink and the community rink. Concessions, ATMs, and charging stations are located along the concourse, and merchandise stands carry official Penn State and Nittany Lions gear.

If you plan to visit the community rink, you’ll find skate rental and a pro shop on site. With elevators and ramps providing access to all levels, getting to club seating, suites, and accessible sections is straightforward. Given the moderate walking from parking and around the concourse, comfortable shoes are recommended.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Clear bag policy in effect; size limits typically 12"x6"x12" or smaller.
• Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and beverages, large bags, noisemakers, professional cameras (without credential), drones, and laser pointers.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Arrive 60–90 minutes early to enjoy the glass-walled concourse and pre-game atmosphere.
• In winter, allow extra travel time for snow or ice and check parking advisories.

Pre-Event Planning

Make time to explore the arena before the game — the glass-walled concourse offers great vantage points of both ice sheets, so you won’t miss warmups or pre-game ceremonies while grabbing concessions. At night, the building’s exterior lighting and modern façade make for standout photo ops before you head inside.

If you’re coordinating a group, pick a meeting spot near a main entrance or a specific concourse section; the arena’s circular layout makes regrouping easy. Using CATA to and from downtown State College is a convenient choice if you’re dining beforehand — you’ll avoid parking hassles and still arrive in time for the opening faceoff.

Pegula Ice Arena At Penn State is ADA-accessible, with designated ADA parking close to the entrances, accessible seating throughout the arena with companion seats, elevators and ramps to all levels, and assistive listening devices available upon request at guest services.
