For $12 or $15 bucks you can get a great seat for mens or womens college hoops. They have a nice snack bar on the main level, but be on the lookout for the package deal in the upstairs loge where for a few bucks more you get a buffet dinner and open bar. There is a Pep Band, and cheerleaders. These kids play their hearts out in front of a mostly empty arena. Go and have a blast !!

I don't think there is a bad seat in the house. There are several food and beer and liquor vendors and all are overpriced, but that seems to be the norm at any large venue. Plan to eat and drink at one of the close by restaurants before your event for better quality and price. We have never had a hassle or issue and were able to relax and enjoy ourselves. Ticket prices for the hockey games are most reasonable. The place and the restrooms are kept clean.

The people that work here are so incredibly friendly and hard working. Everyone from the people scanning tickets, the people at Bears Bbq, and the mini melts stand, to the people making sure the park is clean. All incredible and so hard working. This is a very family friendly venue and they've got everything from a little goat petting zoo to all the ballpark food you can think of. Having a relative that is allergic to peanuts I am so grateful that this is a peanut free facility. There are no bad seats here but some of them are more comfortable than others. Try to get clubhouse tickets during the peak summer dates as the clubhouse is air conditioned!

We loved the game because it went into extra innings and the Yard Goats ended up winning the game The team store is somewhere that we already had planned on going and ended up shopping for family. I loved one of the Ushers had one. It said "goat herder" which was genuinely what someone in my family does!! I saw some of our family members with food and quite honestly I am sure they enjoyed it. Overall this was great family outing and it was so worth the price . We went on a Tuesday, June 9th, Eras night with Taylor Swift. Great songs and bingo!

It might take time to get out of the parking after the shows but it is manageable. I suggest to get there early to get good parking, light snacks, and some merchandise. The merch line is usually long but it is organized. All the staff is friendly and willing to help if you have questions. Seating in the theater can be a bit tight but it is not too bad. Overall I love coming here when there is show I want to see but don't feel like going to NYC to watch it.

Can't wait for the show to begin. Some of the young girls have dressed up as Belle- so cute.read more

I used to live in EH and i remember when Michigan came to town and i could hear the game from my living room (no not on the tv silly!) so its nice to take the fam to a game here and there. decent layout, not too hard to get in, also not too difficult to get out! i mean, this is when the crowd is average, not some crazy sellout, which does happen time to time. inside, good layout, i like the red line that allows you to have standing room only in concourse. good food offerings (bears/chicfila/dairy bar/etc) but it is at a premium, so keep that in budget. im ready for the 2 point conversion

The gym has bleachers on one side of the court and they can hold about 500 fans. One interesting thing about the bleachers, they are marked with black tape to signify where your personal space ends and where the personal space of your neighbor starts. We just attended a St Joseph's Men's basketball game that was part of the USJ Holiday Tournament. If you've never been here before, you have to understand that Division III basketball at USJ is no frills - no snack bar (except for a coed selling bags of chips from a table in the lobby), no pep band, no cheerleaders, no video scoreboard, and no halftime entertainment except for a half-court shot attempt by a spectator. What you will see is a great effort by some real student athletes playing hard in front of family and friends. We also got to see legendary coach Jim Calhoun on the St Joseph sidelines, he threw a water bottle to the ground twice, because of some dubious shot selection by his team. St. Joseph had a strong game against Fisher College - they sprinted out to a 51-15 halftime lead, then traded baskets in the second half to cruise to a 91-56 victory. One cool thing we saw at the arena was a 1/10th mile jogging track suspended above the court in a balcony where lots of banners honoring various student-athletes were on display. Admission was just ten bucks. Not a bad way to spend a few hours watching these kids play.

Nice facilities with good concessions such as pizza, beer, wine, popcorn, fried dough, hotdogs, food trucks etc. Hartford didn't win the night we went but it was still a fun time and would recommend checking it out if you're looking for a fun night out. Very kid friendly.

Dillon the mascot was so much fun and there were tons of people at the game. Like a whole world existed that I had no idea about. Food-wise, I tried a hot dog and popcorn. It may not be as fancy as the Hartford Yard Goats, but it is a super fun and clean stadium. The bathrooms were spotless. There was a beer garden and even a place to play corn hole. I had a blast at my first ever game and will definietly go back to another and bring some friends. The bleechers we packed with people and the energy was awesome.

It's a group venue at Dunkin Park. Our group deal got us a two and a half hour buffet chock full of these goodies - 1/3lb Grilled Burgers, Grilled Hot Dogs, Pulled Pork, Mac N' Cheese, Pasta Salad, lettuce/tomato/cheese, Potato Chips, Chocolate Chip Cookies and Non-Alcoholic Beverages. The Party Porch is in the upper deck rightfield corner, just by the foul pole. There were at least a dozen tables and chairs for us to hang out, chit chat with our friends, eat and drink and occasionally watch the ball game. The game ticket and food ran us about $45 per person, so it was a pretty good value considering what we received. Tickets were e-mailed to us and we had the choice to paper print them or download them on our phone to be scanned at the gate. I want to give a big shout out to the two staff members we interacted with. Cassandra was our bartender and buffet stocker. Anthony was our greeter, wrist band provider and a very genial host. Both were outstanding.
