Important Information for Pilots Fans
January 13, 2020 - North American Hockey League (NAHL)
Topeka Pilots News Release
Your Topeka Pilots are sitting in fourth place of the NAHL South Division with 49 points. This weekend begins a series of three consecutive home stands where the Pilots play the Odessa Jackalopes (Jan 17-18), Springfield Jr. Blues (Jan 24-25), and the New Mexico Ice Wolves (Jan 31-Feb 1). We hope you are able to join us in Landon Arena as we continue to push to stay in position for the 2020 Robertson Cup Playoffs!
As construction on the building continues, we have multiple updates for you. Please see below for information about box office and building entrance changes, effective this weekend through the end of the season. We also have small changes to inform you about regarding the late skate and auction following this Saturday's game.
BUILDING CHANGES
BOX OFFICE
Beginning this week the box office will no longer be in their permanent office due to construction. Instead, there will be two temporary offices they operate out of: one will be just outside of their normal office in the atrium, and the second will be in an orange trailer on the south side of the building between the southwest and handicap entrances.
During the week, Wednesday through Friday from 10am-5pm, the box office staff will be in the atrium office. You will use this location during the week and before 5pm on game days if you need to purchase individual tickets or pick up tickets from will call.
At 5:00pm on PILOTS GAME DAYS the box office staff will move to the orange trailer on the south side of the building. You will be able to purchase walk up tickets and collect will call tickets there.
BUILDING ENTRANCES
The northeast entrance (closest to the main box office and hotel) will be closed for the remainder of the season. This means everyone must use the southwest or handicap entrance.
To help prevent congestion at the handicap entrance, we kindly ask that anyone who is able to use stairs to use the southwest entrance. Please only use the handicap entrance if you need the elevator. The more fans who use the southwest entrance, the better we can accommodate those who need the elevator and ground level access.
PARKING
Because of the box office and entrance changes, we ask that fans park on the south side of the building. Not only will this provide you with a shorter walk, it will also help direct others, who are not aware of the changes, to park on the south side of the building.
We ask that our fans help spread the word about these changes as they are for the remainder of the season!
CHANGES THIS WEEKEND
LATE SKATE
Unfortunately we have had to cancel the late skate on Saturday, January 18. We apologize for the inconvenience and are trying to find another time to reschedule this late skate.
