Kansas City Mavericks

Kansas City has a great hockey team. Our family is a regular at Royals and Chiefs games, and recently we've become fans of the Mavericks. Attending a game is a fun family event. High energy fills the room and I'm beginning to think it may be as much fun as a Chiefs game for a fraction of the price.Ticketmaster has a special for 4 ticket bundle for 20 dollars each. Free hot dog and drink come with each ticket. There is not a bad seat anywhere in the arena. There are a few things to know before attending a game. Having a cow (Maverick) bell is cool. Orange is the primary color. The best food is a little corner taco joint that sells amazing pulled pork and brisket loaded nachos bowl.I'm surprised the attendance is not better. I expect if they stay as good as last year word is going to spread. We will be attending many games.

Still love hockey, but it doesn't seem quite the same as it used to. The building is still in good shape and there is a lot of parking for handicap cars, probably not quite enough though bc we were 30 minutes early and got the last spot. The arena is pretty loud, but that is to be expected. Food is WAY overpriced; this is a minor league team guys. $5 for a bottle of pop or water is insane. We had a great time at the game though, and got to watch some good hockey. I'm sad about the name and logo change, the Hunt's made a mistake there. I get them wanting to keep the KC brand name, but there was nothing wrong with the MO Mavericks name and it was more accurate since the team is in INDEPENDENCE, NOT KC. The black and orange is also horrible, very halloweenish and off putting. Once we got past the shock of the changes (we had season tickets right up until the year the Hunt family bought them and jacked up the prices over 30% & attempted to implement a charge for parking) since the last time we attended we did have fun because, after all, it is hockey. :-)

Attending a Mavs game is always a good time. Due to COVID, spectators were seated far apart so it was really nice not to have to get up and let people out of the isle every 5 minutes. I had to knock a star off because if you buy tickets at the box office the day of the game, there's a $4 per ticket up charge

Fees for ticket purchases are out of line. You will be charged $2 for walking up and purchasing a ticket from the box office. Even worse if you try to buy a game day ticket.Attendance is way off and the front office does not seem to care.The following is off their website.

Wonderful arena! We do not think there is a bad seat in the house! Family friendly and lots of funIn our experience, if you get there early you have plenty of time to walk around the arena and check out all the local vendors.

If you are looking for a way to get your hockey fix in the metro, this is an awesome way to do it. There is sadly no NHL franchise anywhere to be found in KC. There was talk in the early stages of the Sprint Center's development of attracting an NHL hockey club, but these plans never materialized. Considering the abysmal track record in the area of attracting and then losing minor hockey clubs, I can see why financiers would be hesitant to give it a go. No matter though, as this club is more than satisfactory to fill this void in your life. Also, as of the time of this writing, they have the best record of any club in the ECHL and are VERY aggressive and physical on the ice. The Mavs are an affiliate team of the New York Islanders of the NHL, by the way. As such, you will see tons of people rocking Islanders jerseys and sweaters, which is a bit of an odd sight in the middle of the Midwest. Though I doubt our friends up in Brooklyn mind the additional support. More on the affiliation with the Isles can be found here: http://islanders.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=770613Games are played at Silverstein Eye Centers Arena, which is frankly located right in the middle of consumerism hell near the Independence Center. That said, I was actually surprised at how accessible and fast things went for both entering and exiting, even on my most recent hockey night which was a sell out crowd of nearly 5800. You will also be happy to know you will not be raped nearly as hard for concessions as you are probably expecting. Seating at the arena is much more intimate because of it's size, and you get a fantastic viewpoint of the action on the ice below from almost every vantage point. Prices here are a fantastic value. They were offering a promotion for ten games for 100 bucks on the night of my visit, and the seats were good too! You seriously can't go wrong with that level of value for professional hockey. If I was still living in KC, I would of jumped on that one. As noted earlier, the team is very scrappy and aggressive, making watching the games even more exciting. Fans here are loud and enthusiastic. Some of them might not know the difference between icing and offsides, but they still blew the roof off the joint when the first Mavs goal hit the back of the net. We have the AHL club, the Chicago Wolves, not terribly far from where I live, which comes in handy when I do not feel like dropping 2-300 bucks to go to a Blackhawks game. Wolves games are cool, but Mavs games are much more fun by comparison. If you are a hockey fan living in the KC metro and have not checked this out yet, what the hell are you waiting for? Yes, I admit you can get the NHL Center Ice Package from Comcast/Xfinity, but nothing is going to beat the real thing. Just ask anyone who is a chronic masturbator. If you are just a sports fan living in KC but stick to only Royals and Chiefs, you should still give it a try. My guess is you will enjoy it. I have converted more than my fair share of folks over to the evil empire that is professional ice hockey. You could be my next victim.

Maverick hockey games are so much fun! Reasonable ticket prices and good family entertainment. I must admit the view from the suite is pretty nice but there isn't a bad seat in the arena.

I grew up watching hockey in Minnesota, so I have a very high view of the game. It has been a looooooong time since I have been to a hockey game, the last hockey game I went to was a college game when the Minnesota Gophers played UMD. I am delighted that the sport is so accessible in the Kansas City market.The tickets are reasonable in cost, the venue is excellent (intimate) and I don't think there is a bad seat in the house. It is family friendly and the Mavericks do a great job of keeping everyone involved during the entire time you are on site.The game I saw was a blow-out so we came away with a lot of bonus freebies - a free burger at Backyard Burger since the Mavs scored six goals. The team achieved another milestone so everyone got a coupon for a free 2 liter bottle of Orange Crush (the official soda of the Mavs), and at the end of the second period coupons for a free meal at Noodle & Company were dropped from the rafters. So the value for your money spent on the ticket is great.I really had fun at the game and look forward to going to another game soon.

Super fun and reasonably priced tickets for this game! Parking was easy and accessible. Staff was friendly and helpful at the arena.

PACKED house. Any seat in the place is a good one so don't spring for the high dollar ones.Good game, decent players and they beat one of the best teams in the league!
