Disney On Ice - Providence, RI need help!

[ms.ojo]

Has anyone been to the Civic Ctr in Providence, RI???? I'm looking to book tickets for an upcoming Disney on Ice show and having never been there...I'm just not sure which seats to secure. Here are my options.

-- Lower Arena: on the end corner of the oblong, 5 rows up

-- Upper Arena: mid-court, 13 rows up

I just know at the Fleet Ctr in Boston, Upper Arena tickets are referred to as the nose bleed section as they're so high. I wouldn't want any part of that! Yet at the Springfield Civic Ctr it's much smaller, and upper arena is actually quite nice. Gives you a good overview of the whole skating area.

I'm just wondering if I opt for Upper arena to save some $$$, will I be ok??? I think it would be nice to be right in the middle of things, even if we are in the upper arena. Though having them skate towards us more sitting at the end.... I just don't know.

All input welcome! I have to book these asap before these choices are no longer available.

Thanks!

I haven't been to an ice show at the Dunk in a while...

but here is a link to their seating chart

My opinion - if you are going with kids - I would do the lower area - they are not as high us as say Fleet Center... but still - a little closer the better.

Have fun and enjoy the show.

I would go for the center section in the upper arena. The Dunk isn't that big so it doesn't really seem like you are way up there. Sometimes at the end of the arena it's hard to see what's going on during the show. I'd personally prefer to sit a bit higher in the middle to catch the whole thing.

Have fun.

When we went there (also to see a Disney on Ice show!) I was amazed at how small it was, compared to Boston. I think any seat would be fine. I know what you are referring to, with the "nose bleed" sections, and saw nothing comparable in RI.

Have fun!!!

I opted for the upper arena mid section....and can use the savings on buying each of my children a "trinket" from the show! LOL, that's where they must REALLY make the money!!!!
