The location of this arena is odd. Don't trust google maps, 18th is a one way and for some reason poor old google thinks it's just fine to go the wrong way. There's no parking lot - I've never been to...

This place is great. There's a small arcade and a snack shack too. There's other rooms and lots of bleachers. Very cool. Except one of the machines gave my friend and I fake peek-a-poos. Not cool.
