At 5 pm, many of the lots were already "full" even though there appeared to be lots of spots available. Rating: 4 out of 5 Great Event But Logistics Could Have Been Better by EO on 2/27/23 Carter Finley Stadium - Raleigh.In future stadium series events, the NHL would do well to organize better with the local authorities in order to handle the hordes of fans that want to come cheer on their home team as well as those visiting from other areas. A similarly long and disorganized entrance into the stadium followed at game time. It seemed that no police presence had been set up to coincide with the opening of the lots. We were so thrilled to be able to attend the NHL stadium series and cheer on the Carolina Hurricanes to victory! The spirit of the day was unbelievably positive and the experience was unforgettable! Thankfully, people showed up with lots of positivity and enthusiasm because it was sorely needed given the huge problems with traffic entering the parking lot (it took us 2 hours to get into the parking lot). by Lori Z on 2/27/23 Carter Finley Stadium - Raleigh Rating: 4 out of 5 Great experience despite the logistical problems.The Hurricanes fans were also quite rude and obnoxious, as usual, the reason I no longer patronize the Hurricanes Franchise, nor will I ever again. There were no time entries on any monitor for Power Play indicators by team and time remaining in power play. The two large monitors in the stadium were directly behind the section and there was no visibility of play. The view in the stadium was horrible and there were no large monitors to view play in view from my section. Fearing the long wait to leave the arena I left at the start of the 3rd period to access rideshare and still did not get out of the arena until well after 10:44PM. 20 Minute wait for any access to toilet and concession. Several different pieces of information were provided about rideshare pickup / drop-off location which were conflicting in nature from the NHL, the arena and the Hurricanes. As with PNC arena, I was almost struck by motor vehicles speeding in the parking areas before and after the game. Traffic around the arena was horrible and access for ride share was an absolute nightmare. There was insufficient parking at the venue due to the huge amount of parking taken by tailgating. The experience at Carter Finley was the typical PNC Arena experience only 10 time worse. Rating: 1 out of 5 Worst Ever by Serious_About_NHL on 2/28/23 Carter Finley Stadium - Raleigh.Canes played incredible, marching band was great, all around awesome time and the fan fest downtown the night before was awesome Great game, we were the literal last row in the stadium but there wasn’t a bad seat in the house. The NHL dropped the ball/puck on planning since they took on this responsibility for this event. 45 minute waits to use the bathrooms before the game and no traffic plan after the game. The parking lot /tailgate and traffic before/after the event were shameful. by Tom R on 3/11/23 Carter Finley Stadium - Raleigh They didn’t utilize the sound system so you could only hear announcements if you were on the lower level. However, the sound and video experience was abysmal. The atmosphere tailgating and at the game was fantastic.
