^^^Thx for the restaurant list. This is great!...One other question -- Does anyone know if this arena has a tendency to be warmer or colder? I know, weird question -- but sometimes arenas do have a reputation. Just trying to figure out what jackets, sweatshirts, etc. to take. Thx in advance.
That's such a good questions!!! Was thinking about the temperature as well.... Hopefully someone has been to the Arena and can let us outsiders know
Strange question, but one year we were at US Nats in an arena that was SO warm. We were wishing we had much lighter weight clothing. I'm kind of close to the ice where it's generally colder. I guess I'll just plan for layers but would still love to get some "words of wisdom" from anyone who is in the know.
I would love to know this as well as this is my first skating event!! Another off topic question: for practice do we need to stick with our assigned seats or can we stand near the rink for pictures? And are we allow to bring food?
@Arriba627: if that favorite skater is named Shoma Uno, then yes :luv17:. I'm still very new to this forum (and really skating world), so I cannot keep up to Shoma's forum Thank you for your tips. see you in SC
Tomorrow I am going to call the Brandt Center about the food on practice days. I am also going to ask (again) if the arena has wi fi. They already said no, but I'm still hoping! Whatever info I find out, I will post it here. Just nine more days 'til the Prince of Winter.
ETA - Also just learned there is a Tim Horton's on the premises that opens at 7 am.

CONCESSION FOOD AND BEVERAGES
Brandt Centre concessions, located around the arena, serve up everything from burgers, pizza, hot dogs, popcorn and cotton candy to local favourites like deep-fried mac 'n' cheese bites, jalapeƱo pretzels, taco in a bag, mexi cactus fries and a much more.
What healthy options ... I don't think :scowl:
