Opening Night Intros: Fans are encouraged to arrive early to their seats to enjoy a special pre-game show that includes an introduction of the entire roster.
$2 Beers and $2 Hot Dogs: Every Friday, enjoy $2 domestic drafts and $2 hot dogs from 6-8 p.m., at select stand while supplies last. The $2 promotions for both beer and hot dogs will be served at stand one in the lobby, the stand next to section A on the concourse, the stand outside section 104, and at the Hops & Vines stand located next to section 120.

Post-Game Open Skate: Bring your skates to the rink and take to the ice for the post-game open skate. As a reminder, Van Andel Arena has a no-bag policy, but security will allow fans to use bags to bring in their skates.
BHS Insurance Donation: Through the Griffins' long-running Charitable Goals program, local companies team up with the Griffins to help raise money for various charities. A season ago, BHS Insurance and Cross Hanas worked together to help Feeding America West Michigan. BHS Insurance will donate a check worth $900 to Feeding America West Michigan during the first intermission, thanks to the nine goals scored by Hanas during the 2022-23 season.
