First time seeing the Blue Jackets and had a great time. Cool team shop, and the entertainment during intermissions was great. Ushers were very helpful, as I needs a charging station for my phone.
Always remember puck in play rule. If there is action going on the ice you can't go to your seat until play stops. It is a NHL rule all 31 arenas go by this rule.Upvoted 2 weeks ago
HISTORYAugust 4, 2010This stadium was built in 2000 & is home to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Some fans who frequent the arena claim to see paranormal activity here because the land used to be occupied by a prison.
Stop by Section 116 on the Bud Light Terrace and say hi to the @Jacket Backers, the Official Booster Club of the Columbus Blue Jackets! Pick up info about membership, road trips and other activities!
Dan ElavskyMarch 23, 2017Excellent venue to go watch them CBJ win, and the cannon is deep inside these walls, for those about to rock FIRE.
Dave CounotteNovember 29, 2015Great seats all around to visit the Blue Jackets game. We were sitting on top but great view.
Bill EganNovember 7, 2021Saw two concerts here. Got club level both times. Nice clean restrooms, good view, nice sound. Lots of great places to eat nearby.
John KiddeNovember 14, 2016Great arena, beautiful indoors and out, but the crowd is a bit too subdued even when they score goals, and I saw them score 8!- Presley BurleyAugust 30, 2019Concerts, conferences, and the Columbus Blue Jackets! Nationwide is the entertainment hub downtown. Visit their calendar online or ticketmaster for more details and add this stop to your staycation!
- Jonathan WarnerMarch 17, 2015Watched The blue jackets game, amazing atmosphere, amazing people, lots of booze, great game !!! GOTTA CHECK OUT THE CANNON
Amy AdamsDecember 11, 2012If you have floor seats there is no need to climb the stairs to hit the restrooms as there are restrooms on the floor level!!
Jim GreenhalgeOctober 12, 2013Best place to stay when in town for a game is the Red Roof Inn on Nationwide Blvd.......near everything and inexpensive!
alice smithApril 11, 2016Beautiful facility. Look for the craft beer stands, sprinkled throughout - no need to settle for a bud light during the game.
Accidentally bought club level tickets for a concert and they were great. This is probably the better of the two arenas for concerts.
Hayley WDecember 26, 2016Best night ever, the entertainment is great, the seat is comfortable, and the game is epic.
Robyn MorganJanuary 27, 2016Nice arena! There is so much to do around the arena, it's in a prime location!
JB FabyMarch 28, 2012That's a really nice arena, too bad the hockey team is to say the least not that good, this arena deserve a better team, but it will be home of the 2013 NHL All Star Game.
If you in the mood for Skyline, the chili cheese fries are the better deal. For the same price as two cheese coneys you and someone else can eat from them and be full.
ESPNMarch 8, 2012One of the highest scoring games of Tournament history happened here in 2007 when Tennessee and Long Beach St. accumulated 207 points. Not bad for an arena best known for its hockey team.
Michael LengyelApril 10, 2011The people in Columbus Ohio are good people. Came here for the final Sabres game and had nothing but respect from the area. Would love to come back.
For a cheaper meal option, the attached tim hortons has soup, sandwiches and a lasagna bowl. Yum!
staci cooper-hoffmannSeptember 29, 2011Park in garage and save $5.00. Feed the kids a lot b4 u get here. Bring gloves. If u've got it bring lots of $$$$$ .
CBJ tickets for $10 each sold two hours before each home game. Get here early because they only sell 250 or so. Limit of four tickets a person.
Hayden SpiresDecember 12, 2011I love seeing blue jackets and a few nights ago there were 2 or 3 fights against the Boston bruns very fun game
Brandy 😀 Noponen 💕February 16, 2014Nice venue, but a bit snug. Good excuse to get cuddly with your neighbor. 😉
Dan GJanuary 2, 2022Awful place to watch volleyball. We were stuck in fill in seats below hockey arena and could only see 1/2 court because of players. Lucky we found SRO, but that was after 45 min w a it to even get it.
nathan teagueOctober 19, 2010The best live sport experience, and I have been to pro football in Cleveland, and minor league baseball before.
- Best arena in the NHL, you've gotta make it here at least once! Go Jackets!!
Ron Foth AdvertisingNovember 11, 2011The Box Suites are really nice, the food and the view are great!
NHLOctober 5, 2010Fanatic Fact: Team officials named the franchise the Blue Jackets: celebrating patriotism, pride and the rich Civil War history in the state of Ohio.
LA KingsFebruary 7, 2013We affectionately refer to this city as 'Lumbus, rather that the full Columbus.
When they want to play well, the Blue Jackets games are fun!
- Only the practice rink is on the land of the Ohio State Penitentiary. The arena itself is NOT on the site.
Get here a little early and play table hockey behind section 120.
