We loved that it was so easy to find parking at the arena (although we did wait a while to exit but that is to be expected!) and we loved that there were so many restaurants nearby for our pre-show meal! More

Lots of merchants on site , so you can easily find any kind of food, drinks and gifts (souvenirs) , they also have very nice... More

Went to a Sens-Leafs game and the atmosphere was unbelievable. I saw many with jerseys from both teams and the crowd was really pumped up and loud. Scotiabank place has great ambiance during the game and the new HD scoreboard looks great. Also got a bite to eat at Berts which was great. I ordered the allstar burger and was... More

My husband & I enjoyed our weekend to see the Habs & Leafs play the Sens at the Scotiabank centre. Our biggest complaint was the traffic. The first night we had to wait 15+ minutes to get out of the lot, then it took 10minutes to get back to the hotel via the highway. The seond night was worse. It... More

I had the mispleasure of eating at one of the establishments in Scotia Bank Place. After enjoying a good hockey game I had hoped to finish my night with a good meal and avoid the trafic rush leaving the arena. Unfortunatley Scotia Bank Place has two places to eat, Bert's and Finnigans. I chose, what I thought, would be the... More

I've been here for a Nickelback concert and most recently a Senator's hockey game. The vendor's are great, lots of apparel to buy and the 50/50 prize can be as much as $20K dollars for a Sens game!! We had tickets in the 300 section and they cost about $65 per ticket with all taxes. I cannot complain about the... More

Finally got to see my Sens place at home. I found the staff to be very friendly and the vendors great! The beer was cheaper than in Toronto, which was nice and the food a lot better. Ottawa was playing the Canadians. Got great seats that were decently priced. There were more Canadian fans than Ottawa I think. Parking was... More

Scotiabank Place is a great place to see a game whether you're a Sens fan or not. I've noticed Sens fans to be some of the friendiest in the league. The stadium is located a fair drive away in Kanata which is a definite minus. In the immediate area there isn't a whole lot to do. Most stadiums are located... More

I went to the recent Nickelback concert and arrived at 6:30 p.m. only to find a crowd of 5000 people waiting in a mob to enter the venue. It literally took us 45 minutes to get in the door. I complained to the 2 (two!!) security people patting people down going into the 100 section. I basically said, "Your boss... More

Being a Brit. and more familar with football stadiums in the U.K. I wasn't sure what to expect from my first visit to an Ice Hockey stadium, but I was definately impressed. There was none of the oppressive security on entry and seeing an indoor arena packed to the rafters with over 20,000 happy and friendly fans was a great... More
