I can think of two places:
1) in front of the Melting Moments carts to get chocolate chip cookie ice
   cream sandwiches
2) the women's bathroom (which, when you have a 3-month old daughter and
   a wife who is breastfeeding and is somewhat modest, you hear about
   continually)
 
Plus, it's damn near impossible to walk around the arena during intermissions,
due to all the little gaggle groups that decide to circle the wagons in the
middle of the walkways.  Other than that, a great place for hockey (which
would be even better if we could start the games at 7:30 instead of 7).  I
ask this and they move the Western Michigan game on the 8th (a Friday, mind
you) to 6:45.
 
I keep it up and all the games will start at 5:30.
