I seen Static-X and Mudvayne here on 10/18/25. The show was awesome! The venue is great for live shows. The atmosphere is great. The employees are very nice and friendly. I would definitely go back and see another show here.
Nice venue for concerts, took the feral heathens to see Static-X last night. We got there way early just to get the rail. Once the gates open, we were inside in about five to ten minutes Side note, large homeless population in the area. We didn't have any issues, but enough to ping my protective dad senses to be worth noting
Pierce the Veil and Sleeping with Sirens was amazing! The only problem I had was I didn't have enough money to buy any drinks, I was chaperoning my niece, and got heat exhaustion. I wish they'd have let me keep my water bottle, it would have helped a lot, and I missed a lot of the songs I wanted to hear, but what I did hear was awesome!
The place is built for music. It has great seats, and it's circular construction makes every seat a good seat. The only issue is that, and it's dependent on the performers show, the short distance to the stage let's those lights blind you. You can literally feel heat. Great venue though.
Good setup for concerts. Concession prices are a bit high, but not the worst for a venue. Seating is very tight, even for slim built figures. Had a couple event staff members that caught an attitude while leaving after the show. Wasn't the worst experience but, could be better.
