Rockford Icehogs

There’s everything to like here. BMO is a small arena so every seat puts you close to the ice. We bought $ 14 tickets and our seats were a dozen rows back of the glass. Parking across the street was $ 5, and although we didnt eat here, food prices were scant compared to a Hawks game at the UC. The best part about seeing a game here is rooting for the next wave Blackhawks. My son and I had a blast here and will definately be back for more. GO HAWKS!

These games are always a great time, and there isn’t a bad seat in the house. The staff at the BMO are fantastic, and the games are appropriate for people of all ages.
Purchasing ticket packages, and special ticket promotions from their front office is always easy, and Ryan is always particularly helpful. They’ve developed a strong social media presence, which has engaged a lot of young fans, and it is great to see a new generation attending the games.
Their fan promotions are great opportunities, although I think they could do with a bit more planning and structure. Recently, we attended an opening night meet and greet event. It was great because the group was small and fans were able to interact with the players in attendance. However, there were no designated lines for each player at the tables, and they came out to the lounge area randomly because they were coming from morning skate. That would have quickly become chaotic with a bigger group.
The last time the Stanley Cup was at the BMO, there was no staggering of patrons to see the Cup, and some people spent most of the game in line, or never got to see the Cup at all. This year, there will be three entrance times, based on ticket holder status, so I hope that will be better.
Overall, this is an organization that is evolving, and the front office is adapting as they grow. You can’t beat the entertainment value for the price, and parking/​building access could not be easier.
These people (management, admin, and the team) continue to do phenomenal work in our community, through their charities and events, hospital visits, youth outreach, and special programs. That definitely deserves recognition.

Very poor image on social media. Every post on Face Book contains profanity. What kind of image does that portray for the team, organization, sport and community? I love watching hockey, but will not support the home-​town boys until they clean up their language and image. To make matters worse, they deleted my post on social media objecting to this type of language.

Once again, we had a great time even though the Hogs played badly. The staff at the stadium was wonderful. I had my 85 year old mother with for her first game and they were so kind and helpful. It made her outing so nice.
