I've sat in a number of different sections throughout this arena over the years. I've even sat in the Platinum seats in the 200s. Lower level just isn't really for me. I find that it's packed with Stars "fans" who go just to chat or be seen, and the upper level is filled with jerseys and people who scream at the referees just as much as I do. We call those hardcore fans and 302 had plenty of them. The first row is actually row AA and after row EE or so, it starts all over with row A again. A little tricky but you need to know which seats to get it. I didn't find the stairs at all steep here but others may.

If you sit on the upper levels, be sure to check out Bubba Burger which has some of the best burgers I've ever had. Not bad at all for concession food. You're going to spend three or four hours here, there's no way you won't eat something.
