Event Center
We attended an event here recently. The venue is smaller, so none of the seats are “nose-bleed” & there are 2 jumbo screens to assist with viewing. Our only complaint would be with the ventilation. Don’t get me wrong, it was cool, not smoky. But it seemed like they were adding air freshener in with the hvac. Every time the blowers would come on we got blasts of vanilla (so we knew it wasn’t cologne). It wasn’t that it smelled bad, but my husband suffers from bad allergies/asthma & this triggered a bad allergy attack. He wasn’t able to enjoy the show like he should have, which was unfortunate. Other than that, the venue is pretty decent. There are restrooms, full service & self-serve beverage bars without having the leave the area.

Fun, but watch the seating chart
Pros: Restrooms and bar are at the back of the event space. Soft drinks are complimentary. The event center is smoke-free. Cons: The chairs are just folding chairs. You do need to be up close for a good view, so it's worth the money to pay for VIP seats. We paid $150 for tickets in the VIP South section. On the seating chart, it looks like the South seats are fairly centered with the stage, but in real life these tickets are WAY WAY WAY over to the left of the stage. It was OK, but not what we were expecting. Also, the security people were just standing around to the left of the stage enjoying the show, and the comedian had to stop her performance to ask people in the front row to stop filming. At no time did security go over there to see what she was talking about. You have to walk through an absolute choking cloud of cigarette smoke to get to the event center, although there is thankfully no smoking allowed in the event center itself. I'm not kidding when I say that this is the smokiest place I've ever encountered.

Not Horrible
I did enjoy the performance and quality of the sound system. Smoke is strong I wore a mask actually two. Seats are tight and you do have to get up if the people in front of you decide to get up which they will when their songs are played. Overall it wasn’t as bad as other have commented. I am not sure I would go back it’s up in the air. We had seats in the center within the first 20 rows. Your will depend on the type of crowd the performers draw. You can’t beat the price to experience top ten artists. Sure they could make improvements but not so bad.
