ALLOW ADDITIONAL TIME FOR TRAVEL

Please be advised that there is ongoing construction on I-94. This project consists of intermittent lane closures resulting in back-ups near the Sprinkle Rd exit. Make sure to allow for additional time to get to Wings Event Center so you can be here for puck drop!

Looking for the best route to take? Please consult the MDOT Drive Map or your preferred directions app to ensure a seamless trip.

WAIT & SERVICE TIMES

We are looking forward to having you all back at Wings Event Center cheering on your Wings, but we do ask our guests for patience as we do so. You may experience slightly longer wait and service times due to staffing levels. One way to help expedite the time spent at the concession stands is during payment. Please utilize the tap-to-pay function with your debit or credit card vs. swiping or inserting your card. Guests can check their card to see if that function is an option available.

We thank you for your understanding as we work diligently to build our team.


MOBILE TICKETS

If you ordered your tickets online and select the "Print at Home or Mobile Tickets" delivery option, you can conveniently pull up your tickets on your mobile device when you arrive at the game. When approaching the doors, please make sure your phone's brightness is all the way up for easy scanning.

ARENA RE-ENTRY POLICY

Due to the importance of our guest’s safety, there will be no re-entry into the stadium once your ticket is scanned.

CLEAR BAG POLICY

To provide a safer environment for the public and to significantly expedite fan entry into Wings Event Center, we are requiring the use of clear bags for all events for items exceeding what can be held in pockets or a small clutch. Our required clear bag policy limits the quantity, size, and type of bag that can be brought into the facilities. All bags/clutches will be inspected.

Below is an outline of what is encouraged:
  • Bag that is clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and does not exceed 12 inches by 14 inches by 6 inches in size, or
  • One-gallon clear zip-seal bag (Ziploc bag or similar).
  • Small clutch bag that does not exceed 4.5" x 6.5", with or without a handle or strap, may be carried into the facilities, after proper inspection, along with one of the clear bag options.
  • An exception will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection.
Each person may bring in one (1) large clear bag plus a small clutch that does not exceed 4.5 by 6.5 inches. The small clutch allows privacy for small personal items and also is easily searched. Keys, wallets, phones and other small items that fit in pockets or clutch bags are not limited. The clear bag and clutch may also be used to carry these and other permissible items.

Exceptions will be made for medical items or a diaper bag (with an infant / small child) after a proper inspection by security at the door before entry. Authorities reserve the right to inspect any item at any time. Denial for inspection shall constitute an unwillingness to enter/remain in the facility.
Wings Event Center is not responsible for any items left at the entry or in the facility.
