Know Before You Go: 2024-25 Season at Lenovo Center

RALEIGH, N.C. - Ready, set, hockey.

The Canes kick off their 82-game marathon on Friday with Opening Night presented by Lenovo, beginning their 27th season in North Carolina.

As the team's fan base continues to grow, newcomers will ignite their fandom for the first time this season and we want to be sure to welcome them with open arms.

So whether you're coming to 1400 Edwards Mill Rd. for the first time or the 1,000th, here are some things you should know or resources that may be helpful to you before you go.

Before You Leave Home...

• Check your email. Each email account associated with the ticket purchase for that day's contest will receive an email that has pertinent information, such as what time parking lots open, what time doors open, a link to pre-purchase parking, and more.
• Leave the paper on the dresser, Lenovo Center is a cashless facility.
• Want to ensure that you're dressed appropriately? During hockey games, a building temperature of 63 degrees (F) is maintained to keep a suitable ice surface for play. Many hockey fans have found the best manner of dress to be layered clothing.
• Lenovo Center is also a digital/mobile ticketing system only. Access your tickets through the Hurricanes team app. You can also use the Ticketmaster App or Caniac Account Manager.
• Don't have tickets yet because you're not sure where you want to sit? Click here to see a 3D Seat Selector.
