Tucson Roadrunners Hockey

I was invited to attend the season home opener on 10-19-24. My friend scored us really good seats in section 211 -- around the "35 yard line" and about 15 rows back which gave us a line of sight just above the protective plexiglass. I was a little surprised to learn that these (indeed most) seats are around $47. There really are no bad seats in this smaller sports venue, so even the next section up (cheaper?) gives you a decent view of all the action. Despite this being opening night, the arena was maybe only half full. I gotta believe if they offered family-friendly prices for the upper sections (like under $15?) the seats could be sold out.No outside food or drink is permitted. Metal detectors and security will screen everyone upon entry too. Fortunately, there are plenty of vendors - offering sodas, coffees, and alcohol, as well as a variety of food, from hotdogs to pizza to pretzels and cotton candy. The prices aren't too bad (although higher than outside the TCC). Bathrooms are at opposite ends of the horseshoe shaped gangway that lies above all of the seats and hosts all of the vendors. Noise levels (mostly from the music and the announcer) are fairly high. Almost every toddler/infant was wearing headphones. It's not quite rock concert loud but it is fairly constant and can make conversing a challenge. If you you are hearing-sensitive, bring small foam earplugs, just in case.Parking at the TCC for special events (like hockey, concerts, shows) is typically $10-12. If you're willing to walk several blocks, you can often score free street parking.

If you like hockey, you'll love the Roadrunners! They are the AHL affiliate to the Arizona Coyotes. You'll get the opportunity to watch and witness the boys improving their skills and move up to the NHL. Who knew hockey in the desert would be this much fun?!

First time & had a blast !!! Great Atmosphere and experience from start to finish. Parking in garage is $10 with easy access to arena. Staff was awesome, accidently tore my only $20 as pulling from my wallet, cashier still took it. Security was good, operation was smooth and no issues. I do not think that there is a bad seat in the house, good views from throughout the arena. Dusty the Roadrunner kept the crowd hyped, taking pictures with fans and banging the rally drum. Family had a great time despite the hard fought loss in O/T. Lot of action all night from the team on the ice, to the rally team. Look forward to future games as my mom-in-law fell in love with action.

I've been a season ticket member for years (and we have AWESOME seats)! I also have "seen behind the curtain" a bit too as I am Tucson's "Cowbell Guy!" We love going to the games for so many reasons - the players are super friendly to the kids, the Roadrunners staff is incredibly welcoming, the fans give the best high-fives, and the food options at the games are pretty legit!Food Pro-Tip: Start with the tacos and then grab some of the fresh warm mini-donuts for the 2nd period!Tickets Pro-Tip: If you're not a season ticket member and you're coming to a game, buy your tickets AT THE BOX OFFICE! You'll save 50% or more on the price instead of buying them online through Ticketmaster.Seats Pro-Tip: There isn't a bad seat in the house, but once you're in you can look around during the 1st and see where the open seats are. There are almost always seats available you can move to even if you want to sit on the glass!Cowbell Pro-Tip: Bring one! The Roadrunners love cowbells so much they have an official "Cowbell Night" (it's kind of like my own personal Super Bowl)!The games are loud so if you have someone in your crew that is sensitive to noise, I recommend bringing ear muffs. It's not uncommon to see kiddos with them... especially if there's a guy like me with a giant cowbell near by!If you want to eat before the game, I recommend grabbing Mexican food in South Tucson at Micha's OR grabbing a pizza to-go from Caruso's or a burger from Thunder Bacon Burger (both on 4th Ave) and "tailgating" in the church parking lot across from the arena. Tailgating in the Church parking lot is one of our favorite things to do... and, if you see me there, you'll see me in the Cowbell Guy jersey, come over and say hi! It's $10 to park - same as the garage, but supports the Church's mission helping people in need right here in Tucson.Let's Go Tucson!

The games are so much fun! Most of the seats are awesome because the arena is fairly small, so you'll get a great view of the action from just about anywhere. And they're very reasonably priced.The crowd was totally into the game and their team, which made the experience so much more engaging and fun. I'm glad the Roadrunners are downtown. I'll be going to many more games in the future!

Yay! I grew up in northern Minnesota where you learn to walk and then skate. Hockey is in our blood! So you can imagine how excited I was to learn that an AHL team was coming to Tucson and we got our season tickets to support our new team.The season opener did not disappoint with a sell out crowd and tons of enthusiasm our Roadrunner team won 6-5 against Stockton. This is a great venue and perfect for the entire family to attend.

We went to our first hockey game together last year and we love it. We decide to buy season tickets this year 2018-2019.

I attended my first hockey game last night at the TCC Arena. The Roadrunners beat the San Diego Gulls 4-1. It was fun. I could have done without the noise from all the cowbells in the audience. Next time I'll bring earplugs.

We spent New Year's Eve at the Roadrunners hockey game. The game was held at the Tucson Convention Center. While not a huge venue, all the seats afforded a good view of the game. There were many empty seats, but there was still a lot of excitement and energy from the fans in attendance, including cow bells, clappers, chanting, and cheering. The concessions were normal, high priced event fare. We had the nachos with all the toppings. They were tasty and a nice snack to share. The intermissions were filled with a variety of activities that kept the fans engaged. It was a fun, family friendly way to spend an evening.

Alright its taken me some time to write this review because the Tucson Roadrunners hockey didn't show up in a search. Tucson we need to change that. First, honestly, I don't know much about hockey. (Truth moment) My opinion is you don't need to if you want to be entertained by a team that plays like professionals. I've been to two games so far and plan on attending at least one game every weekend they play at home. First, the arena, most any seat in the house is good for hockey since they move, alot.. It is kid friendly there are very cool activities between the periods like a puck toss chance to win a car! There's a 50/50 raffle that the proceeds go to whats called "Roadrunner Give Back" where they do things around the community. Tickets are about $25 a seat, awesome for a 3 hour event. Take your whole family and have a good time. See your kids on the big screen dancing with Dusty the Roadrunner mascot. Get picked for the kiss cam and give your significant other a big smooch on the big screen. These are the things that make Tucson a great place to live. Please support these men as they play their hearts out for the crowd. BTW they have the best record in the AHL as of 11-15-19 and they play right in your back yard! Come out and support the team and have a great time!!!!
