The majority of our home games are played at the Bloomington Ice Garden Rink (BIG) on Rink #1. Enter the building and go to the right past Rink #2 to the ticket and concessions area. Rink #1 has bleacher seating with an area set aside for wheelchair and walker access. Your tickets will indicate the section where you may sit. Some rows and seats are marked as reserved for groups and for our "Blue Crew" fan section. Additionally, a special section for visiting fans will also be reserved. Restrooms are located in the lobby of Rink #1 and Rink #3.
The Northern Lights aim to provide a family-friendly environment. Our song list has clean lyrics and we aim to do game promotions that encourage sportsmanship, respect for all participants including our visiting team and the officials. Special activities are available for small children between periods that are fun and often educational.
