Inside Gas South Arena: What to Expect on April 28, 2026

Gas South Arena sits in Duluth, Georgia, in the heart of Gwinnett County — roughly 30 miles northeast of Downtown Atlanta. The arena is a purpose-built, 13,000-capacity venue that has hosted everything from major concerts to Disney on Ice, but it is in its element during Gladiators playoff hockey. The lower bowl is tight and intimate by arena standards, which means even seats further from the ice feel close to the action. Sound bounces hard off the walls during big moments, and a packed house for a Kelly Cup Playoff game is a genuinely loud experience.

Parking is plentiful around Gas South Arena, with several lots directly adjacent to the building. Fans arriving from Atlanta proper should plan for the I-85 North corridor and allow extra travel time on game nights. The arena is accessible from the greater Atlanta metro via surface roads connecting to Gwinnett's main thoroughfares. Rideshare drop-off is clearly marked at the venue entrance. Gates typically open 60 to 90 minutes before puck drop, so arriving early to watch warmups is a strong recommendation — playoff warmups carry a different energy than the regular season.

Concessions inside Gas South Arena are well-stocked with the standard arena fare, and the in-arena experience during Gladiators games includes strong in-game entertainment, music, and fan activations that keep the atmosphere cooking between whistles.
