Had a wonderful experience at AMT. Sat in the mezzanine center and it was perfect! This was a big deal for me as I brought my mom to see her most favorite singer ever! Prices were very reasonable for water and drinks. Only cost $8 for 2 waters and a sweet tea. Will be returning again.
This is a great venue to view a concert or show. Parking is ample and free. The seats are newer and are comfortable. The stage is visible from all the seats. The sound is very good. We had a great time at the Wynonna Judd concert. It was a great concert. So great to see her locally. You can bring an unopened bottle of water with you into the auditorium. The chairs have cup holders. The bathrooms have many stalls and were nice and clean. There is a concession stand where you can buy non-alcoholic beverages and snacks. Great venue!!!!
Took my 87 year old dad to see Daniel O'Donnell. Sold Out Show!!! Great show and seats! We sat in the first row of balcony and he was thrilled!! Will definitely return for more shows!!
Absolutely a great venue as they have a variety of music genres for everyone to enjoy. The staff inside is always super friendly and always willing to assist you in anyway.
We loved our experience at this place! We watched the Celtic tap dancers and it was a wow! The facility was well taken care of and they had concierge leading the way and directing traffic to make the intermission go as smoothly as possible!
