Spectators

  • Spectator Wristbands will be available to be purchased online! Please use the link below. 
    • Purchased wristbands will be valid across all facilities for Winter Classic
      • NOTE: There is an update to the Food and Beverage Policy at the Grounds for all tournaments this season. There is NO OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINK allowed inside of the atrium. Additionally, there are no “Team Camps” allowed inside the atrium area. The only food and drink allowed in the atrium are those that are purchased from Food Trucks and Vendors onsite at the Grounds. We have made three key changes in response to this:

      • With the potential of inclement weather in January, we believe it is critical that we provide adequate indoor space for athletes and families to enjoy their own food and beverage. In light of that, Winter Classic has rented the Jones Hall along with tables and chairs to provide a dedicated space to all athletes and attendees. “Team Camps” will not be allowed in Jones Hall. Spectator Passes have been increased from $10 per day to $15 per day ONLY at the Grounds to offset this expense. Security and staff will be in this area to help provide a great experience for all. Please enjoy your personal food in this area and clean up when you return into the atrium and playing areas.

@ The Grounds - WC Lounge

This year at the 2024 Winter Classic, we are offering a limited number of tickets to a new space we are calling The WC Lounge! This is a private section of the atrium that affords adult spectators over the age of 21 a space to escape the chaos of the gym with reserved tables and chairs to enjoy playoff football with full audio. The WC Lounge Pass provides access to the lounge for the duration of your wave each day.

The Lounge is stocked with complimentary water bottles, sodas, and coffee along with light snacks. There is also a full cash bar for you to purchase alcoholic beverages to enjoy in the Lounge.

Access to The WC Lounge is very limited due to space requirements and are available for an additional $25 per day, per wave. Passes are available on a first come, first serve basis using the link below or from the Winter Classic Website. Monday will be treated as a single wave.
