I updates some stuff! Parking info and ticket prices mostly...I found a better map, too.

Arena/Ticket Info
http://www.reginapats.com
http://www.reginaexhibition.com
Pats games are at the Brandt Centre (formerly the Agridome) located in Regina Exhibition Park. Parking is free and there are entrances at Lewvan Drive or at Elphinstone Street.
Hours: Monday-Saturday 10:00AM - 6:00PM (Game Days 10:00AM-9:00PM)
Phone: 781.9300
Tollfree: 1.888.734.3975

Ticket Prices
ADULT - $15.00
STUDENT/SENIOR (60+) - $12.00
CHILD (12 & Under) - $5.00
DISABLED - $5.00
DISCOUNT TICKETS - $6.00 There are a LIMITED number of tickets available only at SAFEWAY for $6.00, but they can only be bought on game day so go early. They're for the Safeway Fun Zone...bleachers in the east end.
GROUP RATES - There are group rates available for 20+, 50+ or 100+ people...it's too much information to post here and probably not worth the space so you can go here (http://www.reginapats.com/modules.php?name=Sections&op=viewarticle&artid=19) to get the group rates.

Concessions
There are all kinds of concessions available at the Brandt Centre, pretty much standard things...Beer (Molson), Coke products, pizza, mini donuts, burgers, fries, hot dogs, ice cream, sno cones, they have big pretzels but they're always out :(, popcorn...all those sorts of things. There is also a Mr. Sub and Tim Horton's inside the west end entrance. As with most arenas, concessions can get pretty pricey.

Noise Makers
They sell little horns at the Neutral Zone, I think you can still bring those big ones in, but they don't sell them. I believe they also sell cowbells. No air horns allowed. Anything else?

Merchandise
The Neutral Zone has memorabilia and clothing for everyone from babies to adults! I think prices are pretty average, nothing too outrageous. If you check out their sale stuff you can get a great deal sometimes. If you want to take a look to see what's available, or prices check out the Neutral Zone ((http://shop.reginapats.com/) ) online. Game day programs are available on the main concourse. I don't know if you'd consider 50/50 tickets merchandise, but they are also available on the main concourse.

Game Day Activities
There are all kinds of contests for fans to take part in throughout the games, as well as the usual intermission entertainment/contests. Once in awhile they'll do something special, usually though, it's just the usual contests that fans take part in. And the TimBits are always a treat! There's usually something else going on somewhere on the main concourse during games. Auctions, games for kids, some sort of show and tell from a sponsor, things like that. If there's one thing the Pats do right, it's advertising.

Other Arena Info
The box office and Neutral Zone are both located at the main entrance on the east side of the building. It's a smoke-free facility, but there are ashtrays right outside the main doors. Visiting team bench is on the west end of the building. The OT Lounge is just to the NE of the Brandt Centre in the Queensbury Centre (the Pats do their post game show there, so you can go in, have a drink and watch them do the show.) There's a Tim Horton's right next door, too.http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p277/BrannyMuffin/16724s.gif
