Will there be fan experiences like Zamboni Rides, Bench Seats, etc. available during the two outdoor games?
There will be a very limited amount of fan experiences available during the two outdoor hockey games. If you are interested in reserving a fan experience please contact Tyler Clark at 419-725-4352 or tclark@toledowalleye.com.
Where are the best seats for the Winterfest outdoor hockey game?
The Mud Hens ballpark is the perfect size venue to transform into an outdoor hockey rink. With nearly 9,000 seats near the playing field there are many great viewing areas. Hosting a hockey event at a baseball stadium will certainly provide a unique perspective for everyone!
LOWER LEVEL: When choosing a seat in the lower level, opt for seats in rows 10 and higher. The boards and glass surrounding the rink can obstruct the puck and some of the action.
CLOSEST TO THE GOAL: First and Third baseline
WALLEYE PLAYERS will enter and exit from the dugout Section 108 and VISITING PLAYERS will enter and exit from the dugout Section 113.
CLUB LEVEL: Provides complete view of the ice surface, players on the bench and access to the indoors.
WALLEYE WILL ATTACK the FIRST BASE side of the ice level twice
