My wife and I attended the NMU Wildcats mens ice hockey game against the University of Alaska-Anchorage SeaWolves at the Berry Events Center on campus in Marquette MI. It was a really great time. The arena holds several thousand spectators and the facility itself is first rate. It was Thanksgiving break for the students and also deer hunting season so at this particular event, there were a lot of open seats where we were told normally they would be occupied. This was our first time at this place since we moved to Marquette a few weeks prior. Were looking forward to attending more hockey games and other events here.

As someone from outta town, specifically Florida, to be able to walk into the Barry Events Center and see a hockey practice in progress, in July, was super cool!I didn’t know what to expect when I went inside the Berry Events Center but, I never thought there would’ve been an ice rink inside. I was so excited, I started taking pictures.The building was very nice and modern, I would be proud to be a fan of any team that called Berry Events Center home. It is located on Northern Michigan University’s campus, in Marquette Michigan.The Berry Events Center, which opened its doors in October 1999, is home to the NMU men’s and women’s basketball teams, hockey team and the USOEC short track speedskating squad. The facility is named in honor of the John Berry family, who made a gift of $2 million to Northern Michigan University to help build the facility. John Berry is a 1971 NMU alumnus.The facility provides individual seating for approximately 3,800 fans, in addition to seats in 16 luxury boxes. Along the perimeter of the arena are four large concession areas, as well as standing room for approximately 400 fans.When used for hockey, the Berry Events Center has an Olympic-sized ice sheet measuring 200 feet by 100 feet. When rigged for basketball, the court sits on protective flooring which is placed over the ice, providing an additional courtside seating for 500 fans. Conversion from hockey to basketball is completed in approximately five hours.-Nicholas K. (Tallahassee FL)

Beautiful venue! Usually good hockey too.

Beautiful arena. Happened to stumble into an intense scrimmage. Want to go back to experience a game

Not enough handicap parking no leg room in seats no cupholders

Nice upgrades to the decor. Seating still is horrible. Though always a good time watching. NMU play. Win or not.

Great venue! Easy to maneuver. All seats are good seats!

Its an awesome place to catch a game

We had a blast. It was so great that they put our sons birthday on the jumbo Tron!

Nice game

Great atmosphere, clean, alcohol is an option during hockey games. The events are extremely entertaining with tons of give-aways!

Great family experience. Saw the hockey game for Scout night.

Great dinner specials cozy quiet atmosphere great family food.

Fun and exciting. Concession stands are outstanding.

Went for an NMU Hockey game. The pep band was really good and we had a great time

A wildcat hockey team victory. Yahoo

Love watching Wildcat Hockey at the Berry Event Center. Clean, lots of room, and great concessions and beer choices.

Did someone say HOCKEY? a great arena, not so big and every seat seemed good. Fair price for concessions too.

Worse place to watch hockey. I swear they have five year olds running the replays and big screen. You never get a replay of anything thats of importance.

Go Cats!

Well kept facilities and a fun, often family friendly environment.

Great hockey center. Great team.

Great place to watch a hockey game. Its an Olympic sized sheet and there are no bad sight lines in the arena!
