NHL Arena Rankings
Every NHL arena measured the same way, so any two can be compared directly.
Across the 32 NHL arenas a game day runs from $111 at Canadian Tire Centre (Senators) to $349 at Madison Square Garden (Rangers), with a median of $183. Food and drink per person runs from $14 to $26, and capacity from 15,321 at Canada Life Centre to 21,105 at Bell Centre.

All 32 rankedHow These Rankings Are Built
Game day totalOne ticket, the cheapest publishable car parking rate, and one person's typical food and drink. Not the cheapest possible outing and not a premium one.
Tickets are resale medians hereA club's published face value sits systematically below a secondary-market median, and only some clubs publish one. Ranking a mix would sort NHL arenas by which kind of figure we found rather than by price, so these tables use market medians throughout. A venue's own page shows its face value where the club publishes one.
Estimates are excluded, not roundedWhere a lot is demand-priced or a fare has no published rate, the figure is flagged as an estimate and left out of the ranked number rather than quietly included.
Everything is converted to US dollarsNine venues price in Canadian dollars. Their own pages show what they charge; these tables convert first, because reading C$20 as US$20 overstates a venue by about a third and moves it up the table.
Figures change as venues republish and as we re-check them. Full methodology, or see what we have corrected.
