First time seeing the Blue Jackets and had a great time. Cool team shop, and the entertainment during intermissions was great. Ushers were very helpful, as I needs a charging station for my phone.

Chris Burch

Always remember puck in play rule. If there is action going on the ice you can't go to your seat until play stops. It is a NHL rule all 31 arenas go by this rule.

John Mann

Super nice arena with lots to do in the nearby Arena district. Almost always tickets avail. at the door. If you need help deciding which Seats to Purchase for your next Blue Jackets game, check out Read more

HISTORY

This stadium was built in 2000 & is home to the Columbus Blue Jackets . Some fans who frequent the arena claim to see paranormal activity here because the land used to be occupied by a prison .

Dan Mejak

Stop by Section 116 on the Bud Light Terrace and say hi to the @Jacket Backers, the Official Booster Club of the Columbus Blue Jackets ! Pick up info about membership, road trips and other activities!

Dan Elavsky

Excellent venue to go watch them CBJ win, and the cannon is deep inside these walls, for those about to rock FIRE.

Dave Counotte

Great seats all around to visit the Blue Jackets game. We were sitting on top but great view .

Michael Zickefoose

Nice arena in an excellent area! Lots of options!

Presley Burley

Concerts , conferences , and the Columbus Blue Jackets ! Nationwide is the entertainment hub downtown. Visit their calendar online or ticketmaster for more details and add this stop to your staycation!

Bill Egan

Saw two concerts here. Got club level both times. Nice clean restrooms , good view , nice sound. Lots of great places to eat nearby.

Hayley W

Best night ever, the entertainment is great, the seat is comfortable , and the game is epic.

Jonathan Warner

ESPN

One of the highest scoring games of Tournament history happened here in 2007 when Tennessee and Long Beach St. accumulated 207 points. Not bad for an arena best known for its hockey team .

John Kidde

Great arena , beautiful indoors and out, but the crowd is a bit too subdued even when they score goals, and I saw them score 8!

Kristopher Weiss

Accidentally bought club level tickets for a concert and they were great. This is probably the better of the two arenas for concerts .

Shane Ramage

Love the Blue jackets games so much fun and not a bad seat anywhere in it

alice smith

Beautiful facility. Look for the craft beer stands, sprinkled throughout - no need to settle for a bud light during the game.

Amy Adams

If you have floor seats there is no need to climb the stairs to hit the restrooms as there are restrooms on the floor level!!

JB Faby

That's a really nice arena , too bad the hockey team is to say the least not that good, this arena deserve a better team, but it will be home of the 2013 NHL All Star Game.

Robyn Morgan

Nice arena ! There is so much to do around the arena , it's in a prime location!

Jim Greenhalge

Best place to stay when in town for a game is the Red Roof Inn on Nationwide Blvd.......near everything and inexpensive !

Lori Williamson

Staff were friendly and the food was good.

Alexis Browne

If you in the mood for Skyline, the chili cheese fries are the better deal. For the same price as two cheese coneys you and someone else can eat from them and be full.

Eric Near

Easy to get in and out. The ushers are usually really helpful.

Clifford H

CBJ tickets for $10 each sold two hours before each home game. Get here early because they only sell 250 or so. Limit of four tickets a person.

Daniel Barker

Tonight they honor the Gaudreau brothers. During warmups BOTH teams wore #13!

Luke Foster

Nice downtown location for hockey and family friendly

Jeremiah Cosner

Great venue, central location, easy to navigate.

Hayden Spires

I love seeing blue jackets and a few nights ago there were 2 or 3 fights against the Boston bruns very fun game

staci cooper-hoffmann

Park in garage and save $5.00. Feed the kids a lot b4 u get here. Bring gloves. If u've got it bring lots of $$$$$ .

Steph G

For a cheaper meal option, the attached tim hortons has soup , sandwiches and a lasagna bowl. Yum!

Michael Lengyel

The people in Columbus Ohio are good people. Came here for the final Sabres game and had nothing but respect from the area. Would love to come back.

Bunk Tuzzi

Best arena in the NHL, you've gotta make it here at least once! Go Jackets !!

Jeremy Myers

Been here for tons of games and shows. Amazing.

Brandy ???? Noponen ????

Nice venue, but a bit snug. Good excuse to get cuddly with your neighbor. ????

Len ❤❤❤

Go Blue Flames!! I love the Blues !!

NHL

Fanatic Fact: Team officials named the franchise the Blue Jackets : celebrating patriotism, pride and the rich Civil War history in the state of Ohio.

nathan teague

The best live sport experience, and I have been to pro football in Cleveland, and minor league baseball before.

Carlos Arias

Kind and very organized staff

LA Kings

We affectionately refer to this city as 'Lumbus, rather that the full Columbus.

Dan G

Awful place to watch volleyball . We were stuck in fill in seats below hockey arena and could only see 1/2 court because of players. Lucky we found SRO, but that was after 45 min w a it to even get it.

Justin Ellis

Get the bbq or bacon on a stick.

Ron Foth Advertising

The Box Suites are really nice, the food and the view are great!

Dan Mejak

Only the practice rink is on the land of the Ohio State Penitentiary. The arena itself is NOT on the site.

Daphne (Cassis) Berry

Fun and a variety of events .

David Kruk

When they want to play well , the Blue Jackets games are fun!
