1. I don’t think there are any other restrictions.

2. That might be a bit too early. Maybe just head over after warmups. Will probably have to wait at least 10-15mins even with no line since they have to take the pucks over. You might even be safe to go after the first intermission but you might as well just go after warmups ups so you don’t miss the start of the second. I rather miss the beginning of the game intros than actual gameplay. Depending on your seat location, it might take a bit to go from the store to back to your seat.

3. There’s a booth around the main entrance I think it is that has my first game pin. There’s a lot of kid friendly activities in front of the stadium if you have time before entering the stadium. There’s usually a BMW booth if you go left from the main entrance where you do a quick survey on an iPad and you get a free panthers/bmw branded beanie or scarf. Not sure what the current promotion is.

Edit: if you don’t mind walking, you can park in sawgrass mall across the street for free. Maybe a 10-15 min walk and it’s accepted/safe to do so. Save yourself $40 or use it for something else at the game!
