I showed up early to an NCAA game one time and decided to kill some time by walking a few blocks north, it was nerve racking but no one bothered me. I would not recommend it though.
There are a couple good pubs. My favorite one was north of the arena just across the street, packed and fairly modern. And one south called"arena bar" about a block after you cross some parking spots. Both decent!
Great concourses, but a cavernous ceiling which I though dampened the atmosphere of the arena as a whole.
