This is a floor plan of Goggin Ice Center, which is startling because even though I'm fairly familiar with Goggin, I never realized that 11, 10, 9, or 8 existed or how small the walkway around Steve Cady Arena is compared to everything else.
This is a CGI representation of the main hockey rink from an opera suite. This is also the section of the ice that the student section is located in, facing the scoreboard. Aside from the general admission seat there are also 102 club level seats, 6 opera suites and 4 private boxes.
This is a post game ritual after the handshake where the players circle up and hit their sticks against the ice faster and faster, then point them up in the air, and finally come together and congratulate each other
Steve Cady Arena has 2,800 general admission seats which are divided in half at center ice. one half is for students, the other half is for ticketed entry. The student section faces the scoreboard and is located on the side of the ice where the visiting teams goalie spends 2 out of the 3 periods. This allows students to be closest when goals are scored and allows for 40 minutes of heckling. People tend to line up hours before the game starts so they can get seats on the glass and it's usually the same people every time. Other people filter in closer to game time and some people get there right when the game starts. The Band of Brotherhood takes up one entire section of seats and plays a vital role in crowd behavior. They always play Love and Honor at the beginning of the game as well as the national anthem. They are also responsible for various cheers throughout the game, and if the crowd gets too rowdy, they play a certain song or cheer to distract the crowd from whatever just happened in the game.
