I'm a ticket master noob, so this embrace the hate mentality is unfamiliar. That said, the rink layout I looked at did not show home/visitor or zamboni doors. The only feature that I felt was useful in determining anything was the location of a lounge/bar at one end. I was going to inquire about when the decision to save my Franklins for Tampa won the battle in my head, heart, & wallet.
Not much help, but dang nabbit this is going slower than a Gopher on a pond.
