I attended the Carden Super Spectator Circus on May 6! It is very expensive unless you’re just going to watch the show. As prior during intermission and after the show they have it set up for jump houses, face painting, picture with a snake or...Read More

Possibly one of the better arena's I've been to! The concourse is open (alright there is some bottle-necking during high profile events) and there's really not a bad seat anywhere! Visibility is great, concessions are very responsive, fast, and friendly. It's easy to navigate and...Read More

Easily accessible off the expressway, the parking lot was also easy in and out. Some of the events you don't have to pay for parking like this one. Otherwise it looks like it's $20 for certain events.The doors didn't open until 1 hour prior to...Read More

Stepping into the NOW Arena felt like unlocking a slice of entertainment paradise. My husband and I were whisked away on a Cirque du Soleil adventure, where the only thing more dazzling than the acrobatics was the ease of the experience. With parking next...Read More

Took family to a hot wheels monster truck show on a Saturday afternoon. Arena is like a half size Allstate arena which means every seat in the house is a decent one. Arena felt safe, plenty of parking and police presence were a plus. Food...Read More

The Arena is massive once inside, and feels like you're at the United center, or similar. The seating is mostly designed for viewing something in front of you. While watching the Cirque de Soleil Corteo, we had to slant our position to really take...Read More

One of my favorite venues- large enough for a sense of event but small enough to feel connected with the entertainment.Facilities are always clean, great parking. Not far from other stores and restaurants.
