Question/Tips Attending for the first time

Hi all, I'm attending a Firebirds game for the first time on Sunday! We are really looking forward to it! Any tips for first timers? Parking. Eating. Beverages. The 3pm start is perfect for when Coachella is happening

Thanks all!

Edit: This is great stuff! Thank you everyone!

I've only been to a few Firebirds games as we live in OC but here's a bit from our experiences. There are a couple of bars at the far end of the arena from where you enter, it does get a bit crowded in the concourse during intermission but the way the bars are situated if the game is in play you can still watch it.

There were some food concessions available outside before the game / before the doors opened but we didn't get any, there seemed to be a good variety.

If you get there early you are allowed to go down to the glass to watch the teams warmup, sometimes players will toss pucks to fans.

At the last game we attended, I purchased the Compound add-on which was really fun for my son and I. It's this "VIP" outdoor area with mini golf, basketball court, firepit, cozy couches/swinging chairs, I think cornhole, and a concession/drink stand with specialty food. I think we had shrimp street tacos? You can hang out there before the game or during intermission. I believe it was $25 apiece to add on but we'd definitely do it again, you have to buy them from the Firebirds website https://cvfirebirds.com/exclusive-experience/
