The venue is centrally located and easily accessible by public transportation in Oskemen. Arriving early gives you time to find good seating and explore the surrounding area before events begin.
The building's exterior is designed to resemble a hockey goalie mask, making it an instantly recognizable landmark in the city skyline. An LED display screen and a hockey monument at the entrance emphasize this distinctive design.
