What it's known for
The arena, formerly PNC Arena, is also home to NC State basketball. It sits next to NC State’s football stadium, with big parking lots that fill with tailgaters before Hurricanes games, unusual for hockey.
The Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup in 2006, and after home wins players gather for the ‘Storm Surge,’ a postgame celebration with fans.
Getting there
The arena is west of downtown Raleigh, off I-40. Most fans drive and park in the large surrounding lots.
Tips for your visit
- Tailgate in the parking lot before the game.
- Stay for the Storm Surge after a win.
- Downtown Raleigh is a short drive away for food and nightlife.
