This was our second time attending an OKC Baron Hockey game and I was not disappointed. We took my parents this time and it was a great family experience. I wished we lived closer to be able to attend more but we live over two hours away from OKC. Hockey is one of those sports where it is just so much more exciting to see in person. I have never watched nor probably will watch a hockey game on TV but would watch OKC Barons every chance I got if it was possible. This was an awesome playoff game with the San Antonio Rampage. OKC trailed 0-3 almost the entire game and came back the last period and tied it for overtime and then won in overtime. The atmosphere at OKC is the best experience I could have given my parents and my son always loves watching the Barons win!

My first visit to the Cox Convention Center, for the purpose of seeing the last two regular season home games of the AHL's OKC Barons. The early 70's era facility is showing its age, but it has been maintained & the Barons placards all around the walls brighten things up. Seats are very low to the floor, but with adequate leg room in the lower bowl. Lighting is good throughout the complex, but the sound quality in the arena is no better than average. Good variety of concessions at fair prices, and one of the largest team merchandise stores that I've seen for a minor pro franchise. Ticket takers & ushers & service personnel were all very friendly. Friday night crowd was small (approx. 3900) but enthusiastic, while the Saturday night crowd of 6200 fans were loud & engaged. The Barons' in-game entertainment guy & their mascot are probably the best pair of game stoppage/intermission entertainers that I've seen at the dozens of minor pro hockey arenas I've visited. I hope Oklahoma City gets another hockey team in the near future.

We took our daughter and 2 friends to watch the Barons play for her early Birthday. They had a blast! They also cannot wait to see another game. We lost, but it was a good game. Both teams played hard. Loved it!

We went to watch OKC v HOU, AHL hockey season opener from Hou. The Cox Center was a very nice place. I was surprized be how much team stuff was being sold, about 90% more stuff then what our team sells at our place the Toyota Center in Houston. All we have is 2 booths and the Cox Center has a whole store. The people running the place where excellent we had some trouble with our tickets, but was reslove in a hurry.We just miss the warmups, but were in our seats to watch the game. Would like to thank all the staff for helping to get the problem fixed quickly.

Missed Oklahoma hockey! We have some growing pains, but not lacking on the action!

Even though the Baron's lost their first game, it was enjoyable. It was also good being back in the Myriad again. My only complaint, the tickets I purchased (seats 11 and 12) ended up being on a handycapped reserved row (which stopped at seat 10). After standing in line at the box office for the second time, missing the opening faceoff and not getting it resolved, we finally just went back in and picked two empty seats.

The Barons hockey game was exciting and full of energy! From the game to the promotional activities, there was never a dull moment! The only thing that was a disappointment, was I could not understand what Duke was saying on the video for hockey etiquette. I will definitely be attending another Barons hockey game!!

First, awful sound system!!!! Fix it NOW!!, or I won't return. Could not understand anything most importantly player introductions . Couldn't tell you the name of any players except by looking at the back of uniforms. Not enough hoopla, better go to a thunder game and take notes (and I am a hockey fan much more than a basketball fan. Mr Funk has the resources and I know that he wants the best.

Terribly boring game atmosphere with lame fan participation games between periods and annoying music. As a step up from the CHL, I was expecting much more from an AHL experience and was severely disappointed. The former CHL OKC league, the Blazers put on a much more lively show that was entertaining even if the game wasn't going our way. The Cox Center with it's outdated facilities and high school gymnasium like restrooms didn't help the experience. We probably won't go again unless we get free tickets.

Opening night was great! The arena was great! The fan store was great! The fans were great! The only thing that would have been better was if the team had won. Oh well, they will improve.

Expected a lot more fanfare and hoopla at the Barons' very first game. No different than any other regular season game anywhere. Thought perhaps there should be more give-aways so people who did attend would be wearing Barons' everything to get their name and logo out in public to continue to generate more interest. Impossible lines to buy food and beverages, gave up because lines were just too long and moving way too slowly. Enjoyed the game. Have already picked out my two fave players (#7 & #16). Maybe could have done mini profiles of the players and played them throughout the evening on the big screens so people could begin to get to know the players. How about a Barons' theme song? Fun night but definitely left without being in a hurry to buy more tickets.

The Barons i feel, wore themselves out in the first 10 minutes. Is the team going to be good, maybe, to early to tell. I had a great time none the less.

Love going to hockey games, crowd was great, my only complain is that we bought our tickets online and had to wait in line with everyone that was just purchasing them there at the game. We selected will call for delivery. They should have just a selected window for will call like they do at the ford center.

Barons hockey is a good product. There is a noticeable difference in quality from the old Blazers. The players are bigger, faster, and more skilled. The only problem was the sound system in the Cox Center is horrible. The crowd was unable to hear who received penalties or scored goals. The only time anyone was able to hear was when the crowd was almost completely quiet. The sound system ruined the player introductions. The first player didn't even hear his name called.

Surprising how big the players were and still the ability to skate is there. Found out later the guys had only 1 day to practice together as a team due to the Oilers keeping them in their camp so long. Passing was horrible and that is now explained with lack of practice. Very excited about future games, we haven't seen hockey on this level, looking forward to going again.

I am not a real big hockey person but I bought the tickets for my husbands birthday. We both had a wonderful time. The game was good and our seats were awesome. It turned out to be a wonderful birthday present.
