The auditorium is great to see a lot of different shows from musicians and musicals. Events like Cirque Du Soleil and game-shows to partake in. The acoustics in their are great to hear everything. Great events space to see what you want. They get a lot of different shows for everyone.
Went to Book of Mormon musical and the sound was not consistent or loud enough. Also, it is difficult to see which bathroom stalls are in use in the bathrooms.
We came here to see Jerry Seinfeld and we had tickets up in the mezzanine. We couldn't tell from pics just how crazy steep it is up there! We were so high up and so slanted, we were looking down dramatically the entire time. I have a problem with heights and it was kinda rough. It's not a pretty place, it's very basic and it was a lot of stairs to go up. Jerry of course was FANTASTIC and so we were glad to be there, but if I would've known how terrible those seats were we would've paid more to be lower. Although the balcony seats looked about the same just slightly lower than us but very steep.
Not enough people working beverage area, why do they not open the doors earlier than 30 minutes before show. Poor experience, good show though.
Went to support my brother's graduation and the auditorium was very nice and big. Parking was close by and the staff both for the auditorium and the school board seemed very friendly and professional.
