High 5 Tunnel

The High 5 Tunnel is one of the gameday fan experiences at Xfinity Mobile Arena, and it's happening Monday, October 19, at 7 PM. If you've never heard of it, the premise is pretty straightforward: it puts kids right at the edge of the ice so they can get up close to the players and high-five them as the team heads out for warmups. It's aimed at fans aged 5 to 14, so it's really a thing for families with younger kids who want to be part of the pregame rather than just watching from the stands.

Xfinity Mobile Arena is the home of the Philadelphia Flyers, the Philadelphia 76ers, and the Philadelphia Wings, and it's consistently ranked among the top ten venues in the United States. That's a fair bit of ground to cover—three pro teams sharing one roof—and the High 5 Tunnel is one of the ways the arena lets fans get closer to the action than a standard seat allows. Instead of seeing the players from a distance, the kids are right there on the ice level, close enough to reach out and give them a high five as they make their way out for warmups.

There is one important detail to keep in mind before you plan your night: the experience is only open to fans who already hold a ticket to the game. It's not a standalone event you can buy a separate ticket for, so you'll need to have your game tickets sorted first. If you've already got those, you're set. The High 5 Tunnel runs at Xfinity Mobile Arena, 3601 S Broad St, Philadelphia, on Monday, October 19, starting at 7 PM.
