The arena has a listed capacity of 2,500 fans, and important Ice Knights hockey games routinely draw 2,000-2,500 fans from the college and the town. On top of a hockey game, fans are entertained by a pep band (a rarity at the Division III level) and numerous contests and giveaways between periods, including student broomball spectacles and the fan-favorite chuck-a-puck contest.
There is a 200-meter track running along the top perimeter of the stands.
