The reason why they get all the music tours at this boxy, uncomfortable monument to bad acoustics is because there's a tax on the venues further in that the acts don't want to pay. The walkways behind the seating are so poorly designed that many traffic jams result, but you'll never notice that at a minor league hockey game. They are pretty tight about the parking lot, so even if you're not doing anything it makes you feel uncomfortable. Only go to the show here if there's no alternative.

Pros: Only game in town, Easy parking

Cons: acoustics, layout, comfort

Editor's Review

There's little to get attached to about this relatively new, characterless, multi-purpose arena.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

Parking

Parking fees range from $11 to $15 and the lot is open two hours prior to the event. Getting in and parking is actually pretty easy. Getting out of the parking lot can be chaotic if you linger after the event ends.
