I attended Carrie Underwood's concert last week at the Don Haskins Center, and it was a really…read morepleasant first time for me at this venue :) ! I really liked how it was so easy to find and park at the adjacent parking structure. Parking was $20 for this event. My sister had told me about this venue before because she watched the Trans-Siberian Orchestra here a few years ago and loved it :D ! I forgot to check online regarding their bag policy. So it wasn't until I got up there near the entrance that an employee informed me that my Kipling crossbody bag was too big and pointed out their clear bag policy. So I had to leave my crossbody bag in my car, and just carry my wallet with my driver's license, some credit cards and cash. I'll remember to bring my clear bags the next time I come here. Customer service was excellent :D ! All the employees checking us through security were really courteous and friendly :) ! And even the vendors selling food and snacks inside were really courteous and friendly :) ! I just bought a hot dog once I got in, and also a fruit arrangement with tajin and lemon juice :) ! The kettle corn line was super long! But I could see why! The kettle corn itself was so hot and fresh :D ! Carrie Underwood sang and performed so amazingly and beautifully with her stellar powerhouse vocals :D !! I have followed her ever since her humble beginnings and early days on American Idol and she was phenomenal :D!! I still have her original debut album "Some Hearts" all the way back from 2005 on CD :D ! I felt like all of El Paso came together just to see her perform for that one night only :) ! LOL :D ! I would definitely come here again to watch concerts or sports games :) ! It's a very spirited and energized entertainment and sports venue in the heart of El Paso :D !

TheDuke Blue Devils vanquished the Sun Devils of Arizona State 42-39. We entered the stadium via the Glory Road. Despite parking being an "adventure" for us after arriving after the start of the event, we found the walk to the entrance no so crowded or too busy. Finding our section and row was easy and the steps were not to dah ring for my 70yo mom to trudge up, then down. Since a group of us got tickets for this event, we were surrounded by a group of folks from Fort Bliss. It was a place to be social and enjoy the main event, surrounded by the wonderful people of El Paso and plenty of UTEP Miners that regularly call the Sun Bowl home. There are plenty of vendors underneath the stands, but it makes navigating the pathways. The innards of the bowl are well marked, so finding your section is easy. Once you get there, the seats are unblocked and access to the stadium today was awesome. On the rare chance that it does rain in El Paso, the bowl is uncovered...so come prepared. Similarly, since it's out in the open, the true threat is the glaring sun...sun block or shade is useful, if not necessary. All in all, we had a Grrrrrr-eat time at the Sun Bowl. Congrats to the Blue Devils.

My sister, friends and I attended the Coldplay concert at UTEP Sun Bowl Stadium for the very first…read moretime ! My sister has been there before for football games , but has never gone there before for a major concert . I think if it wasn't for the scorching heat, it would have been a much more pleasant experience. Overall, though, it was hard to tell whether the city of El Paso was ready to handle the mega stardom of Coldplay, and the crazy crowds brought by Coldplay's presence in town! We attended the second concert in El Paso, which was exactly 2 weeks ago today on Sat (6/14). The lines could have been somewhat better organized because it wasn't completely clear which line was for what. Like so many others, our friend had already purchased our tickets through a legitimate and validated ticket vendor like StubHub. But even so, my sister decided to go to the very front of the many lines to inquire exactly where we were supposed to enter from. Once we found out we didn't have to stand in line for that long, we made our way to the front, got our ice cream sandwiches , refreshing cucumber drinks, and other drinks before we made our way into the stadium and to our seats. There were plenty of food and snack options. But the challenging part was getting through the throngs of crowds in the sweltering heat without fainting or passing out. We had heard that someone had fainted and passed out at the Fri (6/13) concert. So we were very careful and tried to stay as well-hydrated as we could in hopes that wouldn't happen to any of us ! The restrooms were not the greatest, but they were decent for their purpose. Once the opening acts finished, and Coldplay finally started performing, it was such an amazing spectacle at Sun Bowl Stadium :D ! The excitement of the crowd and the magic of Coldplay filled the stadium :D ! It was in every sense "A Sky Full of Stars " :) ! Unfortunately, just like any other stadium , it was a zoo to get out! And because it seemed like Old Glory Road was the main way to exit, it took us at least 2 hours just to move 6 miles! Unless UTEP Sun Bowl can improve the traffic and crowd flow in the future, I'm not sure if we would return for a concert. But despite the challenges with getting in and out of a stadium, watching Coldplay for their "Music of the Spheres" tour was absolutely mesmerizing and captivating :D ! And truly an awesome experience we will always treasure and never forget :) !

Came to the El Paso Coliseum a few weeks ago for the Motionless in White concert! It's not the…read morebiggest venue but it was a decent size for the event my husband went to. It's right next to the Rhinos Hockey rink so I was a little familiar with the area. Parking was $5 I think? Cash only. But you get to park right up front by the entrance so it's nice! They had a concession stand offering drinks and snacks as well. I saw a couple alcohol options as well as the standard water and fountain drinks. For snacks I think they had nachos but not sure what else. One thing I will mention is they did not allow re-entry. My husband and I had purchased concert apparel and wanted to wear it right away, sucked that we couldn't go put our clothes in the car and come back. But other than that it's a pretty decent venue. I'm sure we'll be back for other events in the future!

I purchased floor seats thru a ticket vendor and my seats were completely occupied by other patrons. Security was completely unhelpful in resolving the issue. The seats were notated numbers were written in chalk on the floor and served no purpose of quality control. The chalk numbers decimated in seconds and patrons were left without assurance that their seats were properly occupied. Staff was allowing all patrons to enter the floor with no confirmation of their floor tickets. This caused a free for all and a complete disservice to the patrons who actually purchased floor seats.

We attended two NMSU basketball games while visiting Las Cruces. While we enjoyed the games, there…read moreare some improvements that can be made to enhance fan experience. There was plenty of parking (and it was free!), but there could be more signage to direct fans into the lots (this would be especially helpful for first-time visitors). Once parked, the arena entrances are not well-marked with visible signage. When entering, the readers at the door could not read the tickets in our apple wallet, so we had to pull up the Ticketmaster app and get that barcode to read. The student working the door said that was a common problem. Once in the arena, signage to the seat sections was good. When we reached our section, there was a chain across the aisle with a sign that said "Section Closed." The student ushers (2 different ushers) did not know why the sign was there, so we just unchained the sign and sat down. The seat sightlines were good, and the scoreboard was easily visible. Concessions were somewhat limited, but the food was prepared when gates opened and the associates were very friendly. Finally, just some observations: the scoreboard did not always match what was happening in the game (points, possession arrow), and as you look around the arena you notice little details that you should not see at a Division 1 game (lights flickering in the ceiling, the basket nets with loose strings and at different lengths). Again, we enjoyed the games...NMSU is just a notch below other D1 programs for overall fan experience.
