Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get to UBS Arena?
Take the LIRR commuter train from Grand Central Terminal. Look for LIRR signs—the new station is underground, below the other tracks. Take the train to Elmont-UBS Arena station. Note: you’ll need to buy a separate LIRR ticket for this trip, as it’s not included in the New York City subway fare.
How early should I arrive for a hockey game?
Arrive about an hour before the game starts. This gives you time to get through security and settle into your seat. You’ll also get to hear the national anthem before the game begins.
