About Yost Ice Arena

Yost Ice Arena is an indoor arena located at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The building opened in 1923 as Yost Field House, was converted to an ice arena in 1973, and was renamed Yost Ice Arena. Owned and operated by the University of Michigan through Michigan Athletics, it holds approximately 5,800 fans for hockey and sits on South State Street in the campus core.

The arena is the longtime home of the Michigan Wolverines men's ice hockey program, an NCAA Division I team competing in the Big Ten. Its event mix is centered on Michigan hockey, with public skating sessions, university events, and youth and community hockey activities also part of the building's schedule. Yost has hosted NCAA tournament regionals, CCHA and Big Ten conference play, and marquee rivalry games against Michigan State and other major opponents.

Named for legendary Michigan football coach and athletic director Fielding H. Yost, the arena is considered one of the premier and most intimidating college hockey venues in the United States, known for its arched roof, historic brick exterior, close-to-the-ice seating, and raucous student atmosphere.

Location & Transportation

Yost Ice Arena is located at 1000 S. State Street, Ann Arbor, MI 48109 — on the University of Michigan's central campus area along South State Street.

Driving and Parking: On-campus and nearby university lots and structures serve game attendees. Single-game parking is cashless and is priced around $20 per vehicle. Lots near the arena fill before puck drop, so arriving early gives you more time to park, walk to the building, and get through entry before the game starts.

Transit: University of Michigan bus service and Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority buses serve the campus area. Transit is practical for students and local attendees heading to Yost from campus or nearby Ann Arbor neighborhoods.

Rideshare: Uber and Lyft operate throughout Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan campus. Drop-off near State Street is straightforward, though post-game departures can become congested in the campus core as fans leave at the same time.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels are available in downtown Ann Arbor and near campus, with additional options along the city's commercial corridors. Staying downtown or near the University of Michigan campus keeps the arena within a short drive.

Venue Navigation

Yost Ice Arena has a compact, single-bowl layout inside a historic field house, so understanding the seating arrangement helps you move quickly from the lobby into the arena bowl. The building's intimate scale makes sections easy to find, while the hockey atmosphere builds quickly around the ice.

Entrances and Access: Main entry is off South State Street into the historic field house building. Guests enter through the lobby area and continue into the arena bowl.

Seating Levels: Seating is arranged in a compact single bowl that wraps tightly around the ice. Lower seating sits close to the glass, while additional seating and standing areas are located higher in the historic structure.

Getting to Your Section: Staff and signage direct guests through the compact bowl. Because the arena is intimate, most sections are simple to locate once you enter the seating area.

Dining Options

Inside Yost Ice Arena

Yost Ice Arena offers standard arena concessions, including typical game-day food and beverages. For the smoothest experience, plan concession trips before puck drop or during natural breaks, when lines are easier to manage than at peak crowd moments.

How Much Do Tickets to Yost Ice Arena Cost?

Yost Ice Arena ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from regular-season Michigan hockey to marquee rivalry games against premium opponents.

For regular-season Michigan hockey, single-game prices are typically modest and often start around $15–$30, depending on opponent, seat location, day of week, and overall demand.

For marquee rivalry games and premium opponents, prices are higher and commonly reach $40 or more. Games against Michigan State and other high-demand matchups can draw premium pricing because of the rivalry atmosphere and limited capacity inside the compact bowl.

Buying earlier generally yields better seat selection and pricing, especially for marquee games. As inventory shrinks and the date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections can rise, particularly for rivalry matchups and high-demand weekend dates.

Yost Ice Arena Seating Guide

Yost Ice Arena's seating layout is worth understanding before buying because the building is a compact single bowl wrapped around the ice. Lower rows bring fans directly against the glass, while upper and end-zone areas can provide strong value in a venue where proximity is a defining part of the experience.

Best Seats at Yost Ice Arena

• Best value: Upper and end-zone seating typically offers the most affordable options while still keeping fans close to the action in the compact bowl.
• Closest to the action: Lower rows directly against the glass put fans right on top of the ice and create the most immediate hockey experience.
• Best overall experience: Center-ice seating along the sides provides the best overall sightlines, balancing view, proximity, and atmosphere.
• For groups: Group seating is accommodated for schools, teams, and large parties, making early coordination important for fans who want seats together.
• General admission: Some seating and student sections may be general admission depending on ticket type, giving fans a more flexible game-night experience.

The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the ice, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy. Use it to understand your position in the venue, your distance from the ice, and whether you're in the lower seating close to the glass, higher in the historic building, or in the student section — so the tickets you choose match exactly what you're looking for on event night.

Getting Ready for Your Yost Ice Arena Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a compact campus arena where nearby lots fill before puck drop and the building can feel cool during hockey.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Nearby campus lots fill before puck drop, and the campus core is busy on game nights. Give yourself extra time for parking, entry, and finding your section.
• Wear the right footwear. Yost is a historic building with stairs, so supportive shoes help as you move through the lobby, seating areas, and concourse spaces.
• Dress in layers. Yost Ice Arena is indoors, but the ice keeps interior temperatures cool. Layers help you stay comfortable through warmups, intermissions, and the full game.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Campus traffic and game-night crowds can slow movement around South State Street, especially close to puck drop.
• Know your entrance. The compact single-entry layout makes navigation simple, and reviewing your section before arriving helps you move directly into the bowl.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
