Stifel Stars on Ice at UBS Arena: Your Game Day Guide
You’re in for an incredible afternoon of elite figure skating when Stars on Ice takes the ice at UBS Arena in Belmont Park, NY on Sunday, May 3rd at 4:00 PM ET. This is a world-class skating spectacular, and the good news? You’ll be watching from inside a climate-controlled arena, so weather won’t touch your experience.
Getting There: Light Jacket Weather
While the 4 PM show means you’ll arrive in mostly sunny conditions with temps around 58°F and light winds from the northwest, the walk from the parking lot to UBS Arena is quick and straightforward. The venue sits right in the Belmont Park complex, so you won’t be trudging far. That said, grab a light layer for the drive and entry — it’ll be pleasant outside, but arena venues tend to run cool once you’re inside.
Parking & Arrival Tips
UBS Arena has dedicated parking, but arrive at least 45 minutes early on event day. Lot traffic can back up, especially for a Sunday matinee. Bring your parking ticket or use mobile payment if available — check the venue’s website for current options.
What to Bring (and What You Can’t)
Leave the bag at home if possible — UBS Arena has strict bag policies. Small crossbodies are usually allowed; check their website to confirm. You can bring your phone for photos and videos, but cameras with detachable lenses are typically prohibited. No outside food or beverages.
Rep Your Fandom
Make the show even more special by grabbing some official merch before you go. A Stars on Ice - U.S. t-shirt or Stars on Ice - U.S. hoodie is perfect for showing your love for the sport, and a Stars on Ice - U.S. hat keeps the sun out of your eyes on the walk in. Want to commemorate the moment? A Stars on Ice - U.S. poster makes a great keepsake for your wall.
If you’re sensitive to loud sound systems, consider packing concert ear plugs high fidelity — they’ll protect your hearing while keeping the audio crisp and clear.
Final Thoughts
This is a can’t-miss event. The skating will be incredible, the arena will be packed with energy, and you’ll leave with memories that last. Dress in layers, arrive early, and get ready for an unforgettable afternoon of athletic artistry on ice.
