We got tickets for the first row on the upper deck, right on the center line (324). I shouldn't have been nervous about the view, we could see everything just fine. In my hometown of Pittsburgh, we have season tickets on the lower level, thus, why I was feeling nervous.

What was even nicer is that there was this big concrete wall behind us that separated us from the other rows, so you didn't have any other fans walking behind you.
Overall, the views are great so rest easy if you can only afford tickets on the upper level because I know the first two levels of any NHL arena can get expensive.
