Ultimate Anaheim Ducks Game Day Checklist: Tailgate, Cheer & Celebrate Like a True Fan

Deck out your home in orange and black – it's Ducks season, not Halloween! As preseason ramps up and the home opener at Honda Center nears, maximize every game day with our expert Anaheim Ducks® checklist. From tailgating to victory celebrations, here are six must-do activities for an unforgettable experience.

#1 Pre-Game Tailgating at The Catch

Kick off at The Catch, a premier seafood and steakhouse near Honda Center on Katella Avenue. Savor patio tailgating with game-day specials, pre-game drinks, nachos, burgers, tacos, and handheld apps to fuel up. Groups love the epic 30-pound Instagram-famous burger.

#2 Gear Up with Team Pride Shopping

Stroll to Honda Center's team store for must-have fan gear: jerseys, foam fingers, collectibles, and more. Rep orange and black everywhere – beach, office, or rinkside.

#3 Elevate with Premium Shock Stop Terrace

Two hours before puck drop, access the exclusive Shock Stop Terrace (single-day passes available). Indulge in upscale eats like the Honda Center roll from ANA Sushi – a California roll with salmon, unagi, daidai citrus, orange zest eel sauce, scallions, and Ducks-inspired orange-black tobiko. Pair with Shock Top on tap.

#4 Snap a Selfie with Wild Wing

Meet Wild Wing, the trailblazing mascot who first rappelled from the rafters. He roams Honda Center on game nights, hyping fans and shaking his tail feathers. Capture that epic selfie and feel like a pro wildlife photographer.

#5 Claim Your Seat & Cheer the Ducks to Victory

Join Ducks chants and cheers from puck drop to final buzzer. On one of 16 promotional nights, score giveaways like camo hats or Wild Wing Trolls dolls.

#6 Post-Game Wins at JT Schmid's

Extend the excitement after a Ducks win at JT Schmid's, right across from Honda Center. Toast with beer, wine, cocktails, wings, or sliders.
