Hartwall Areena

I came to the Hartwall Areena to watch a hockey match between Jokerit (the Helsinki local team) and Avangard Omsk (a Russian team) both in the KHL.
When you look into the map you may think this place is a little outside of the city, but you can easily get the train here and walk to the arena, no problem.
Once you are in, enjoy the match! And if you are a hockey newbie, like myself, don’t worry you are still gonna have a lot of fun.
Besides hockey this place also receives concerts and other events.
It’s very easy to find the seats, and the staff is really nice and helpful (mostly bilingual just like everyone else in Finland). Food and drinks inside are not that expensive, but I would recommend you to go have dinner somewhere else.

Came here to watch the Ducks play Jokerit in an exhibition game, and then to kick off the NHL 2011. There were 3 bus load of Ducks fans in attendance, and the Finnish people were so nice to us. very polite, and so helpful!
Every seat seems to be a good seat. If you get a chance to get inside their «VIP Club», you’ll see memorabilia of sports items on the wall.
