Andrew H. McCain Arena: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Well equipped for large-scale concerts and events! Highly attentive staff and clean facilities for artists and crew.
Fantastic experience: Great place to see hockey ! No bad seats in the house! Prices are very reasonable! Parking is challenging! Dan,Sandy
Fantastic experience: Both artist put on a unique show, it was great. The staff on site, at points, couldn't have been less helpful. Over all, I was going to skip the next concert, but I'm going. I may even try to pick up tickets and bring my son and a few of his friends too.
Positive experience: Went here to watch Stage Prophets preform, Jesus Christ Superstar. This was a perfect place to have this. There is plenty of capacity for seating and might I add the seats feel fairly comfortable to sit in. The biggest drawback I saw immediately was that there are no railings for people to hold onto while going up and down the stairs of seating. A few different times I saw people nearly fall down the concrete stairs because there is nothing to support them and even walking on the sides trying to hold a seatback wasn't possible because the seatbacks were not tall enough for this purpose. I would think it would be well worth the investment of railings. (Better safe than sorry) The walkway around the upper part of the arena is super wide with nice amount of space to walk without feeling cramped when a huge group of people are coming or going.
