Huge indoor stadium with seating capacity of about 20000 people. I went to watch Shark's vs Calgary game with my colleagues. It was a great experience. However when we were entering the stadium security asked my female colleague to drop the little hand bag in the car as it was not allowed. This was a bit of difficult situation for us because we were visitors to US without our own car. Somehow she managed to enter the stadium but that was bit of hassle for all of us.
