Stars on Ice at MVP Arena: What to Know Before You Go
April 26, 2026 | 4:00 PM ET | MVP Arena, Albany, NY
Stars on Ice is bringing the magic of competitive figure skating to MVP Arena this Sunday—and you’re in for an incredible show. From world-class athletes to dazzling choreography, this is the kind of live event that photos and videos just can’t capture.
Getting There (Rain Expected)
While the show itself is safely indoors, you’ll want to plan for wet weather on the way. Rain showers are likely Sunday afternoon, with temperatures around 50°F and gusty northeast winds up to 24 mph. Expect to get a little damp walking from the parking lot, so dress accordingly for the trip in and out.
Arrival tip: Get there early to snag closer parking and avoid the rush. MVP Arena fills up fast for major events, and you don’t want to be trudging through puddles at the last minute.
What to Bring & Wear
Once you’re inside, you’ll be comfortable in the climate-controlled arena. Wear layers—venues can run cool, and you’ll appreciate the flexibility. Leave the umbrellas and rain gear in the car; they’re not allowed inside and will just slow you down.
Bring your phone, ID, and a small bag if you want to grab merch. Most venues allow small personal items, but check MVP Arena’s bag policy online to be safe.
Rep Your Fandom
If you want to commemorate the show, Stars on Ice - U.S. merchandise is available now. Grab a Stars on Ice - U.S. hoodie or Stars on Ice - U.S. t-shirt before the event sells out—these are perfect for wearing home and showing your support for the athletes. A Stars on Ice - U.S. hat is also a solid choice if you want something compact to throw in your bag.
Looking for a keepsake? A Stars on Ice - U.S. poster makes a great addition to any fan’s collection.
