Houston Field House — Local services in Troy

Houston Field House is a nice college hockey rink. Most of the seats in the rink are very good and have excellent sight lines. As soon as you walk in you will notice that the floor is higher than the ice rink. This is noticeably different from most other hockey rinks. The total seating capacity for the rink is 4,800. All seats are chair backs. Some of the seats on the corner have obstructed views because of the support columns. Sections 4,5,18, and 19 are the sections to avoid sitting in because of the support columns. The atmosphere of the rink is laid back, and fans here know their hockey. Depending on opponents some games sell out at the rink, but most do not. Concessions are available for reasonable prices, by stadium standards. There is a team merchandise store near the entrance of the field house. There are fan giveaways, entertainment, and chuck a puck at most games. There are also nice displays of RPI hockey championships and retired players’ numbers. You can buy tickets online or at the box office. There is plenty of free...

However only the men's games have a concession stand and take card the womens games have a included coffee and snack table and only accept paper currency so keep that in mind if your like me and try to support both . Now in a addition to hockey sometimes there's open ice skating and concerts but I personally dont have anything to share on those as I haven't been when its in that...

Handicapped parking is the 1st tier of parking uphill. My wife was afraid if she lost hold of my wheelchair I'd roll right down the hill and be seriously injured. Wheelchair seating was nothing more then handicapped markings painted in front of the 1st rows of the corner sections of the arena. Seeing the other end was impossible due to the optics of the "glass". I wish when building the President's Bowes or whatever the area is called where the old grandstands was they gave some thoughts about handicapped folks that came to games. I doubt I'll return any time soon And before I forget, don't try calling the box office for info, you'll most likely get the answering machine message asking to clearly leave a message and they will call you back. After 2 weeks and three calls, i"m...
