    Monster Jam @ the Coliseum!!
    Kristina J.

    Went to the Hampton Coliseum for a Monster Jam Event and was pleasantly surprised at how streamlined the process of entering was! First pro was free parking! The parking lot is directly in front of the Coliseum and was a very short walk to the doors. It was free to park at my event and there were plenty of staff on site to direct traffic. Second pro, was the security! They were fast and efficient getting us through the metal detectors and checking bags. Finally the third pro, was seating. The seats were not too uncomfortable and each one offered a great view! I did not order any food so I can't speak on that but they did have a variety of hot/cold options for sale including popcorn, chicken tenders and snowcones. Overall the experience was pretty great for a large scale function! The only thing is the bathroom lines are long so make sure to go early. But I'd definitely reccomend the Hampton Coliseum if you're looking to go to an event.

    Went there for the Jazz Fest and had a good time. Our seats were in the balcony section but still good sight lines. It's an older venue but still viable. Acoustics could be improved. No parking fees. Reasonable prices on concessions. If you know you know.

    If you haven't checked out the Hampton holiday winter walk, you really need to get down there and see it. They did a great job with the lighting. There was even a free game with prizes. I won a jingle bell wristlet! So many photo ops, and I got a free gingerbread house kit (cardboard & stickers). There is Christmas music playing throughout the walk-through. It is a very family friendly event. Families and couples walking through, smiling and giggling and taking pictures. They even have Christmas carolers when you first arrive, in costume, they are wonderful! The workers are very friendly and full of Christmas spirit! Hours of operation are from 5 to 8. You will not want to miss this. PS, it is free!

    We saw Disney on Ice. The show started at 7 and we arrived around 6:30. There were plenty of parking attendants to show you how to get in so there was mi ital traffic. It was very organized so there were 2 lanes to get into the venue which was nice and allowed people to come in from different directions. The bathrooms were decently cleaned and they had stocked soap and paper towels (hey, sometimes being big events they are not prepared so it was nice). When entering the show the had staff waiting to show you directly to your seat so no worry of being lost. We purchased Cotton Candy that must have had gold hidden inside because IT WAS 15 DOLLARS! There was another one with a crown that was 20!!! Totally insane... but expected. Parking was very organized as well when we left and there was minimal traffic. I would definitely eat before hand (as we did) because food prices are astronomical. Ticket fees are crazy, it was $13 for the ticket but with fees the tickets were over $24 each. This was definitely a once in a blue moon thing because of the insane price hike.

    Went to the Good Morning Mary J. Bilge concert and had a blast. I have 3 stars because the parking was horrible they had us driving through hotel parking lots and no directions clearly given as to where to park. The sound system is not the best. No one was there to help show you where your seats are.

    Went to see Maxwell, Joe and Anthony Hamilton. Great concert! Sound and visuals were great and we were able to purchase floor seats to which we enjoyed that experience. I have two recommendations for a better experience. More food vendors as the lines were very long. Also, I did not like the seating arrangement. My boyfriend and I sat at the end and there was only one way out on the row so whenever anyone needed to get out, everyone on the row would have to step out in the aisle. Seating is very packed and you are sitting shoulder to shoulder with complete strangers. We are still in a pandemic so I wish that they would keep that in consideration. I also appreciate how seamless the traffic/parking is with a large amount of people. Very strategic.

    The family came here for Monster Trucks on January of 2019. The coliseum itself is a bit aged and could stand for some TLC. This is understandable since it's been around for decades, but it would be nice to have them update it. It was very hard trying to find our seats inside, because even though they have the sections painted over the entrances inside, the seat and rows are not shown on the concrete floor. (It's even more horrible trying to find it in the dark). We were very disappointed to have been told to throw our water bottle away at the entrance only to see that water bottles were being sold for $3. RIDICULOUS. They also had concessions including nachos, popcorn, snow cones, cotton candy, etc. Of course the prices were a bit much. I will say the security is pretty legit here. The show was pretty entertaining. Our seats were pretty good and the prices for the tickets were reasonable.

    Not a bad stadium. It's on the smaller side but packs a lot of seats in the room available. It has quite a large parking lot and is located right off the highway and near downtown Hampton and a lot of hotels. It has a nice decor, giving an almost Sydney-like feel to the coliseum outer design. It does seem very old however, with some parts in clear need of cleaning and/or maintenance, and not capable of holding very large events where the activity needs a lot of room.

    Spring Jam Concert

    I haven't been here for a concert in years...nothing much has changed. It definitely depends on the event taking place here. Because, when the circus comes it's always a great time! Great seats pretty much anywhere you sit! However, I came here last Friday night for the 'Spring Jam' and nothing much has changed since my last visit in 2013. First and far most, the sound system is super horrible. I could barely hear the words through the microphones of the singers. They were so suffocated by the music you couldn't tell if they were singing or better yet even knew the song. Just awful! Screeching sounds and all. This place needs a serious uplift on the inside and outside. Until then, I will not return for another concert. But please be aware of the long walk from the parking lot (free parking) to the venue. And ladies, please please please leave your high heels at home. The doors usually open one hour before showtime... this is a great perk. Ticket box office is onsite...this is a great perk. IMO if you do not absolutely want to see a particular show save your money and wait until the act performs elsewhere. Have fun:)

    I love this venue because of its history with some of America's best rock and roll bands. The parking lot is enormous and easy to get into. There are plenty of hotels, restaurants, and convenience stores nearby. The place is dated, but the sound is still incredible and gets bouncing when the bass hits, which can be scary but exciting at the same time. The staff and local police are always excited for the fans and enjoying the moment. The concessions could be upgraded, but it's not one of my main concerns when visiting for a show. For the smokers in the crowd, there is a beautiful patio that wraps around the arena, which has excellent views of the surrounding area. You must catch a show here before it's too late.

    Could not have asked for a better venue for Bass Center XII. Visually stunning, contracted security was so nice, lines were never too long, staff was so sweet and patient. The actual setup is easy to navigate and never feels crowded, so as a GA ticket holder who can move about the venue, we never felt like we were packed in a sardine can. Thank you, Coliseum! Can't wait to come to more shows here

Whether it's with friends or just the two of us, we've never been disappointed. Let's see how this visit went. We were immediately seated once we walked inside. It wasn't completely packed for a Saturday afternoon but staff was really busy with customers. The vibe was one that made us comfortable for the most part. After a few minutes of looking over the menu, we were ready to order. My selection was the Tavern Monte Cristo which consisted of chargrilled chicken and ham as the protein with Gouda cheese and cider aioli fried in a tempura batter with tavern fries. The meal was served hot and ready and tasted great. And having the cranberry coulis as a dipping sauce really added some taste. My only gripe with the sandwich was the amount of protein. I'm not sure if I ate most of it when we dined in, but when I ate the rest for dinner, it was more breading than anything else. Still good but they could've included more. Nonetheless, I was full. Good stuff as always from Park Lane Tavern :)

I agree--it does look like a hole in the wall from the outside. The inside wasn't as nice as I expected, but it was reasonable. We had the crab dip and cheesy rice balls as appetizers. The crab dip was a bit too smooth for my taste. I think some places make it with a cream-based product and blend it, so you don't get many chunks of crab. I prefer chunky pieces of crab in my dip. That said, it wasn't bad. I usually eat a little and then stop halfway through because it's just not my preference, but this one was okay. The rice balls were good. We also had the blackened tuna, which was actually pretty good. It was a dish we were able to split between the two of us, and we both enjoyed it. I didn't like getting my drink in a plastic cup--that set me back a bit. All in all, it was a decent experience. It's on my list of places to visit, but probably not somewhere I'd go every six to eight weeks.

    This is a rather mixed review of the new Bistro at Victorian Station. It had been a very long time…read moresince I had eaten at the former Victorian Station Tea Room, and the Bistro has replaced whatever replaced the tea room. We went for lunch on Tuesday and the place was closed. No hours posted. We tried again on Thursday and voila! it was open. All the tables now are downstairs in the former Ute's gift shop. It is very eclectic in that room with mismatched everything. Upstairs where we used to dine has sofas and coffee tables. I gotta say, the place seems musty and the vibe took me back to some places I'd rather forget about from the early 70's. Parking is scant, kind of a "it's ok to park on the grass" kind of place. I was dining with 2 friends and one would give the place 3 and one a 4. My friend who would give it a 4 said the water was the best water he ever tasted. So there you go. There was one long table reserved but we were the only guests. Before we left 2 more tables had guests. The waitress was very sweet. She handed us paper menus and on the back was a coupon saying free iced tea with lunch purchase, so when she took our drink order I said I would have the special on the back - the iced tea. "Oh no," she told me. "That is a coupon for a flyer they had passed out previously and they just used the flyers to print the menus to save paper." For crying out loud. You give me a menu with a large coupon stating I get a free iced tea, and tell me it doesn't apply. I'm sorry but right there, the iced tea that would have probably cost you five cents to honor, should have been provided. How am I supposed to know the info on the menu isn't valid? So I ordered the afore mentioned water. I believe we all ordered the chicken salad. It was OK. I wouldn't get it again but the menu is still 'under development.' I was told.I asked if the potato salad was made with mayo or mustard, and she told me mayo with a teensy bit of mustard. I ordered it and out came a very yellow mustard filled potato salad that I did not like at all. It was like the kind you get from Food Lion in a big tub and bring to a pot luck when you are too busy to make anything, even though I'm sure it was made fresh. My friend liked it and the other one got potato chips - def NOT homemade. They have live music at some times I guess, and my friend who is an aficionado of live music said he would come back there. He probably won't though. I think he just liked the place better than I did. I can't imagine the sound in there if a band was performing because the tables are right up to the performing space. Since we visited we added it to our list of places for lunch, but the two times I have suggested it I've received a resounding, "No!." So when I will be able to give it another try I don't know. Hopefully before it changes hands again.

    My first time here. Great local restaurant with a unique atmosphere. Friendly staff and live music…read more I am under the impression that the menu changes.
