Nationwide is the NHL's only arena to be attached to the team's practice ice. Even from the seats in the arena itself, visitors can glimpse the outside through the rim of glass near the ceiling at each end of the arena. Unlike many arenas, which are two or three stacked ovals of seating surrounding the ice or court, Nationwide Arena breaks the mold. The four-level party towers are unique to the arena and can be rented by groups of up to 48. The center of the arena is dominated by the oversized scoreboard, with four video screens and four message boards.
Advertising surrounds it as well as the rest of the arena.
While the seat color is the same arena-wide, the seating options are not. The arena boasts 17 seating selections, from the upper bowl to the luxury suites. The most common is the main level, which rises from the ice to the main concourse. Above that is the club level, the funkiest combination of seats in the house. This is the place to see and be seen.
