Taking my 9 year old to Canes vs Blackhawks Saturday Nov 7, puck drops at 8 at Lenovo Center. First NHL game for him. Where should we sit so he can actually see, and is tailgating worth getting there early for?

Lower bowl corners are the sweet spot for kids. Close enough to see the speed, and you're not paying center ice prices.

Tailgate is half the fun. Get there by 5:30 and walk the lots, people are super friendly. Just pack layers, it gets cold fast in November.
water is the enemy
Corners it is. Does he need anything to bring in, or are bags a problem?

Clear bag policy, so leave the backpack. Get there early enough to watch warmups from the glass, kids love that.

Leave right as the 3rd ends or plan to sit in the lot 30 min. Edwards Mill backs up bad after a Saturday game.
