Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Appleton Arena

130 Miner Street

Canton, NY 13617

Appleton Arena sits on the St. Lawrence University campus in Canton, New York — about 2 hours from Syracuse and roughly 1 hour from Watertown.

• Parking: On-site parking is available in adjacent lots; parking is generally free for most events, but it can fill quickly during major games.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options available.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are located near the main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before puck drop. Early arrival helps you secure convenient parking, breeze through entry, and check out the arena’s historic displays in the concourse before warmups. If you’re meeting friends, use the renovated lobby areas as a central meetup spot.

In winter, allow extra travel time — weather can impact roads and parking. Dress in layers so you’re comfortable from the walk-in to your seat in the bowl, and bring a hat or gloves for colder days. If the lots fill up during big ECAC nights, arriving early gives you the best shot at close-in parking.

Cell service is generally reliable, but it may be limited during high-attendance games. Download your Appleton Arena tickets in advance and have your mobile wallet or email QR ready to speed up entry.

Venue Navigation

Appleton Arena features a straightforward bowl around the ice with accessible concourses. You’ll find concessions for snacks, beverages, and light meals spaced around the arena, plus restrooms and a team store offering St. Lawrence merchandise.

Take time to explore the lobby and concourse displays featuring St. Lawrence hockey history — a great way to appreciate the venue’s legacy before the opening faceoff. Comfortable footwear is recommended so you can easily move between concessions, restrooms, and memorabilia areas without missing a moment on the ice.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.

• Arrive early in winter to account for weather and parking conditions.
• Build in time to tour the historic displays in the concourse — they’re a highlight for first-time visitors.

Pre-Event Planning

Make your game day even better by exploring the St. Lawrence University campus — a picturesque setting with historic buildings and walking paths that set the tone for a classic college hockey night. Arriving early lets you wander the renovated lobby and concourse, check out team history showcases, and settle into your seats without rushing.

If you’re attending with a group, coordinate a pre-game meetup at the main entrance or by the lobby displays, then head to concessions together before warmups. With on-site parking that fills quickly during major games, carpooling can simplify arrival and ensure your group sticks together from the first puck drop to the final horn.
