    "What an experience! My son and I first NBA game and we got to experience it in this great venue. We had good seats but next time we’ll be sure to get the warm-up passes. These will allow you to get in earlier to watch the teams warm-up before the game. The seating for this was on the floor, court side. Of course you have to move whenever the game starts but to be court side while they’re warming up would be a cool experience. The food was also really good, you’d expect to pay more for food and drinks at a game but the prices weren’t bad at all. All of the staff were very helpful and patient with us and our questions. We’re looking forward to getting to go to another game."

    "The venue is an amazing place to see/ hear a concert. Traffic is controlled well outside the venue. I went to see Mercy Me. Zach Williams and Toby Mac opened for Mercy Me. I was very disappointed that Mercy Me only played around 6 songs and that was it. No encore. Nothing. Zach Williams played approximately 30 minutes. Then came Toby Mac. He played for A LONG TIME. TOO LONG. You would have thought he was the head liner. After Toby Mac was done a flashy, fast talking pastor came on, soliciting the crowd to sponsor a child from a third world country. Volunteers started handing out brochures with a photo and info of the child to be sponsored. He said no two were alike. Yet, the woman in front of me had the same child I did. The pastor after being on the stage for about 30 minutes then walked around the floor of the arena trying to make sure everyone had a child to sponsor. Then about a 30 minute intermission began. FINALLY, Mercy Me takes the stage and played about 6 songs. Between songs Bart would joke with the audience and that was it. I left feeling very conflicted. It wasn't supposed to be a Toby Mack concert. It wasn't supposed to be a money grab. It was supposed to be a Mercy Me concert. I am so disappointed that I can't listen to their music right now. They really let me and other fans down. All the people around me couldn't believe that was it."

    "Box seats are the way to go for a cost/access friendly way to enjoy events. Located on the same level and short walking distance to merch, bathrooms, food, and drinks."

    Local Tips

    Consider box seats for a convenient and accessible way to enjoy events, as they offer easy access to merchandise, restrooms, and food. For NBA games, inquire about warm-up passes to get courtside for pre-game action, but remember you'll relocate for the main event. Arriving early can help navigate traffic surrounding the venue, which is generally well-managed.
