What to Expect
Scotiabank Arena sits in the heart of downtown Toronto, directly above Union Station at the foot of the CN Tower. It's the most expensive NHL arena experience, but also one of the most iconic. The Maple Leafs are the most valuable franchise in hockey, and game nights in Toronto carry a gravity that few arenas can match. The PATH underground system connects the arena to Union Station, hotels, and the entire downtown core without going outside, essential during Toronto winters. Every Leafs game sells out. The 300-level is where the real fans live, corporate seats dominate the lower bowl.

Don't park at the arena. Take transit. The arena is connected to Union Station and the PATH underground system. You can not even buy a 50/50 ticket with cash anymore - everything is digital.
Sit on the side where the Leafs shoot twice and you can see the puck go in if they score. The rowdier people tend to be on that side too which adds to the atmosphere.
Leafs tickets are some of the most expensive in the NHL so use the virtual seat viewer online before buying. Midbowl corner seats vs midcourt upper bowl - both have good sight lines everywhere.
The bag limit is 16.5 by 11.5 centimetres, and anything larger costs C$25 to check in the galleria opposite Gate 1.
The Scotiabank Premium Entrance lifts reach the parking levels, the event level, both concourses and the arena restaurants (ScotiaClub, Hot Stove Club, Platinum Club and the Air Canada Signature Club).
MLSE publishes live transit updates for event nights at access.mlse.com/transit-updates.
Park under Maple Leaf Square if the weather is bad — it connects indoors to the retail concourse and the arena without going outside.
The arena names no individual TTC line or streetcar route — plan that leg on the TTC's own map.
Prices at Scotiabank Arena are in Canadian dollars.
Union Station is the connection point for everything — TTC subway, GO Transit regional rail and the arena itself are all linked there.
