Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Compton Family Ice Arena

100 Compton Family Ice Arena

Notre Dame, IN 46556

Located on the University of Notre Dame campus, the arena is approximately 3 miles from downtown South Bend — a quick drive for locals and visiting fans.

• Parking: On-site parking is available in adjacent lots; parking is often free for non-premium events, with fees applying for major games. Arrive early for the best spaces.
• Public Transit: South Bend Transpo bus service connects the Notre Dame campus to downtown and other parts of the city.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated drop-off and pick-up zones are available near the arena entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

For the smoothest entry, plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before the puck drops, especially for major Notre Dame hockey games or NCAA tournament sessions. This window gives you time to park, navigate security, and check out pre-game warmups or trophy displays on the main concourse.

The arena is fully indoors, so weather won’t affect your seat — but winter conditions can impact travel and parking. Leave extra time during snow or ice, and consider using South Bend Transpo or rideshare if campus lots are busy on game days.

Most lots are a short walk from the entrance, with accessible routes clearly marked. If you’re meeting a group, choose a landmark like the main concourse or team store to regroup after security. If you’re planning to explore different vantage points, the concourse offers views into both the main and community rinks.

Venue Navigation

The layout is intuitive, with a spacious main concourse encircling the competition rink and sightlines into the secondary practice/community rink. It’s easy to grab concessions, view the ice, and move between sections without missing key moments.

You’ll find multiple concession stands throughout the building, plus family restrooms, ATMs, and Notre Dame hockey merchandise stands. Don’t miss the team store and trophy displays on the main concourse — a favorite stop for fans arriving early. Wayfinding is clear, and elevators and ramps connect all public levels for efficient movement.

• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Follow the clear bag policy to speed up entry.
• In winter, allow extra travel time — weather may impact local roads and parking.

Pre-Event Planning

Give yourself time to walk the concourse and take in the dual-rink view — it’s a unique feature that keeps you connected to everything happening on the ice. If you’re building a full game-day, check the Compton Family Ice Arena schedule to align your arrival with warmups or special pre-game activities.

The exterior showcases collegiate gothic architecture that photographs beautifully, especially at sunset. If you’re meeting friends, set a rally point near the team store or a specific concession stand so you can find each other quickly after security.

Traveling with a group? Coordinate parking lot choices and designate a single entrance for smooth arrival. If you need flexible options for different budgets or sightlines, use Ticket Purchase’s interactive map to compare sections on the Compton Family Ice Arena seating chart before you buy.
