Getting There

The arena is located at the corner of Elm Street (U.S. Route 3) and Lake Street. The arena is three blocks from the Merrimack River and Interstate 293, and the brick and green building is visible from that route (as well as much of the city's West Side). While the roads around the arena are open during games, the block around the arena, as well as the first blocks north and south along Elm Street and the first block of Granite Street (which becomes Lake Street at the intersection) are closed for half an hour after the game, changing traffic patterns in the city considerably. Because of its location at the heart of downtown, there are a multitude of parking lots and garages available.
