The Idaho Steelheads play in the Bank of America Centre which is in downtown Boise. The arena itself is fairly small, as it only seats about 5500* (I don't remember exactly how many it seats). It's also odd in that the arena is attached to a 4 star hotel. Within the arena there's really no bad seat, good view lines from all areas. On the upper areas there are hotel suites that have views onto the ice, and on the opposite side is a bar (haven't gone to it as i've heard it's horrendously expensive) that also overlooks the ice.
The location itself couldn't be better. It's in the center of downtown, plenty of parking and within walking distance to plenty of restaurants and bars. In fact during the winter months when downtown isn't as active and the bars don't do as well as summer it's hockey nights that often times fills said bars and restaurants (I know from firsthand experiencing having worked at a bar that was near the arena).

The Trenton Titans play at the Sovereign Bank Arena, located in downtown Trenton, NJ (the capital of NJ).
The arena was built in 1999, and the Titans are the main tenant. The arena seats 7,600 for hockey.
On the outside, it is a beautiful arena commented with brick and stucco. Inside, the arena boasts no bad sightlines, seamless glass surrounding the rink, and a very high tech huge video scoreboard.
It is every hockey fans dream.
My only complaint is the parking, but I no longer have to worry about that since I use the media entrance. :p

Long Beach arena has 13,500 seats. Old facilty, not sure when it when up but every seat a good seat. Love watching hockey there. Parking is good-that is after the parking lot on the freeway to get there. I have never added an attachment here I hope it worked(pic of the ice). Glad to see they have 4 or 5 California kids on the roster! Definitly planning to see some games.

Well the Arena is pretty nice the concession are rather cheap A personal pizza cost only 4 dollars and beer would have cost only 3.50 which at most places in vegas is what they charge for bottled water. There was a lot of stuff for the kids lots of give aways and things like that which would make the even't enjoyable only 4,000 people showed up which looked like a little less than half filled.
But I went on a night where the Lakers were having a preseason game at the Thomas and Mack and Kiss, and Aerosmith were having a concert at the MGM so I guess 4000 is really good when you considered everything but still makes me worried about how long the Wranglers will be here. Location pretty good although it probably would be a bigger draw if it was on the strip. A cab only cost me 13 bucks to get back home.

On a side note Ricky Schroder is apparently a part owner and he dropped the cermonial(sp?) puck
We also have this mascot named Duke who like a green bull and we enter through this Saloon door scenery so its kinda cheesy but fun
