As one of the most renowned arenas in the world, The Barn serves as a testament to the athletic greatness that has stepped through its hallowed halls at one time or another. Currently, it serves as the home to the NHFL's G.O.A.T., a team that is getting itself back into contention in the Leaders Division through savvy front office moves and great player development. 

If you would like to see these great players in action, the Barn is easily accessible by a number of different means. You would be well advised to think of other modes of transportation besides your own personal vehicle because it gets very congested in this part of St. George, especially when there is an event going on at the Barn. There are plenty of other ways, however, for you to see a G.O.A.T. game. The St. George Transit subway is probably going to be the most convenient for a wide majority of G.O.A.T. fans. They have plenty of different stop points that allow you to get to the Barn quickly and easily. There are also many different train lines that will take you right to Grazing Field Station below The Barn. There are even bus routes that will take you directly to the Barn if that is your preferred mode of transportation. 

Once you have made it inside the building, you will find many different concourses that you are able to explore. Whereas most arenas limit themselves to one or two concourses, The Barn makes it very easy to maneuver to your seat or to a local concession stand so you can order your favorite items. Speaking of concession stands, two food courts - dubbed 'The Troughs' - are located within the building, which makes it very easy to find the centralized location nearest to where you are seated. Here you will find some of the best "ballpark" fare you could ever bite into while enjoying any action that you might be missing on one of the many HD televisions located throughout the concourse areas. When you get to your seat, take in the majesty that is The Barn's atmosphere. With one of the biggest HD scoreboards in the world, The Barn makes it very enjoyable to be a fan of G.O.A.T. 

Interested in more of a traditional, sit-down type of meal? The Hay Bale located inside the Barn provides the finest American cuisine and daily drink specials that are sure to put you in the mood for some great hockey action. The Hay Bale fills up quickly, though, so making reservations a couple of days ahead of time is advised if you plan on eating at this wonderful restaurant. There are also many local options located within the vicinity of the arena that can provide you with many different styles of food. King Puck, located on West 7th Avenue, is more of the typical bar atmosphere that makes old-fashioned bar food and many different beers from around the world available to patrons. As this is an Irish pub, you know that the atmosphere will be lively and exciting. You can also look into what Kawagama Steakhouse can offer you in terms of a nice dinner in midtown St. George. With the finest cuts of beef you can find and a large list of available drinks, this steakhouse is certainly one that you don't want to miss. The highlight of The Barn experience - aside from a G.O.A.T. victory - is the atmosphere and hospitality found at The Paddock: an elaborate beer garden, complete with a beer waterfall. Stop in and order one of their 'Shew-tah!' customized beer flights. The "Life...uh...Finds a Way" burger and the "What Happened to the Goat" fries are can't miss items at this Irish-themed beer garden.

Of course, no trip to the Barn would be complete without a trip to the fully stocked goat petting zoo. This hotspot, located right inside the main foyer, is the perfect place to socialize with local St. Georgians while getting close to your favorite goat species. With nightly drink specials and a live DJ spinning tunes throughout the night, the petting zoo provides an experience unlike any other that you have experienced. At the north end of the Barn, the Mountain Goat sanctuary is another arena nightspot that cannot be missed. The sanctuary provides a laid back atmosphere with awesome ambiance that provides an enjoyable experience for anyone looking to get close to a mountain goat with a beer in hand. Be sure not to miss out on what these locations can provide for you after a night of cheering G.O.A.T. to victory. 

St. George has no shortage of points of interest that you will want to look into visiting. The St. George Arms stands as a testament to innovativeness and ingenuity. Standing at more than a quarter-mile tall, the Arms can make any trip to St. George well worth the expense. Make sure that you also don't miss the world famous Irish Square. Home to many different shops and studios, Irish Square provides you with a perfect insight into St. George culture. The Barn is only a short trip away from both of these locales, so you don't have to worry about possibly being late to your G.O.A.T. game. 

St. George does not lack in the "things to do" department. One of the best ways to spend an evening in this metropolis is by taking a trip to midtown to The Barn. It is here that you will find some of the best hockey in the National Hockey Fantasy League being played in the form of the G.O.A.T. organization. The pageantry and spectacle of the Barn is something that can't be matched anywhere else in the world, and the fact that G.O.A.T. calls this arena home is just an added bonus on your journey to the world famous Barn.
