I visited the arena to attend a graduation ceremony…read more The arena had ample seating in the bleachers, with accessible seating on the arena behind the graduates. It would have been great to know that concessions were open in advance, so hopefully you're reading this before your next visit. We had children and a toddler in attendance, who would have appreciated knowing the concession was open in advance. Some great things to highlight about the space: - Many bathrooms to choose from - We appreciated having the ability to walk around the arena using the upmost bleacher. We did not have to impede anyone's view while moving!

The KC Current stadium is a great atmosphere. Theres no bad seat in the house. Where ever you sit…read moreyou will be sure to have great views . The staff is always pleasant and the stadium is next level with contactless payments throughout. If you like to see women compete at a high level this is where you should come. I ordered a drink from J Rieger and it was strong lol. The popcorn was delicious too.

Specifically..The Ted Lasso promo event. What a VERY dissapointing event!!…read moreWe arrived early to get the promo scarf but were told they were already out... there couldn't have been more than a few hundred people in the stadium when we got there. Later we saw 2 employees dragging a huge box of scarves into the guest services office. We went over to ask about them but was met with the door being shut in our face before we could politely ask about them. Later in the evening there was a woman with a bunch around her neck walking around asking trivia questions but she only allowed one of us to play the game ( there were two of us)... And yet we saw her putting scarves around three little children who weren't even capable of playing the game a few minutes later. Now for the worst part of the evening...Fans were not allowed to sit in the shaded area of the stands and were told that we had to sit in the lower seating area on the east side in the glaring sun if we wanted seats, and that they were "filming" and wanted to make sure that the lower area was filled first. Yet the lower area on the west/shaded side was only open to VIPs. ( this was a free event and there was no option for a VIP ticket. So we have no idea how those seats were distributed) They had huge fans set up but they weren't turned on. It was a heat index of 102°!! We were forced to stand in the common areas for shade for 1.5 hrs before they finally opened up the shaded upper area on the west side. We know of two people that were overcome by heat, one of them was a child. Now about the Ted Lasso part of the event...The fact that five members of the cast came out said "hi" and were on the screen less than a minute before showing a 1 min preview clip of the next season & then leaving was very dissapointing. we never saw them again. Later there seemed to be social media posts that showed more but that didnt actually happen was shocking. We really expected a little more from this promotion due to the hype and the Ted Lasso bus riding around Kansas City all day. Very poor planning, and a lot of disappointed fans leaving the stadium early. We rode back on the streetcar to a lot of people just complaining about how disappointed they were and how badly it was handled. One more item that was very disappointing was for a FIFA Semi final watch party event the speaker system in the stadium was not working well. Fans could not hear what was going on at all and a lot of people left to go other places to watch the game. So, hey #brittneymahomes...while you were enjoying yourself at Chiefs stadium, your business venture really bombed this event.

I went to an event at the stadium. What struck me the most was how geared this was to women. The…read morebathrooms has necessitates in bowls. The art work on the walls are all about women. And not just soccer. The stadium itself is teal blue. The chairs spell CURRENT. The inside club was spacious, comfortable with a beautiful bar. The staff were polite and helpful. The food was delicious. I loved how comfortable the chairs were. When we went outside on the field, the magic could be felt. If you can, get a tour of CPKC Stadium. They did a beautiful job.

We enjoyed our very first KC Current game here a couple of weeks ago!…read more As AMAZING as the on-field talent was, this facility is definitely worth a shout out! Situated north of downtown, right on the Mighty Mo (the river, not the battleship!), the views here are absolutely stunning! Especially from a little higher in the stands on the northeast side, you get an incredible view of the KC downtown skyline, as well as the sun setting and reflecting on the river! WOWWW!!!! I love the size of the stadium - large enough to feel "professional", yet cozy enough to really enjoy the on-field action, and easy to move around and through! The seats are colored TEAL, the lights (can be) colored TEAL, and the swag is definitely colored TEAL!!! This stadium REALLY shines at night, under the lights, when the teal seats light up like a gorgeous blue aquarium! There are concessions galore, an AWESOME team store to update your swag, and even ice cream from one of my absolute favorite KC vendors available: High Hopes (check out that review - INCREDIBLE flavors!)!! Even getting through security and ticketing was far better than your average stadium experience - quick, efficient, and technology-driven! If I'm being super critical, my only knock on the whole place is the (lack of) ease of entry/exit into the complex. Obviously, this is inherent to such a prime, metropolitan location - a tight squeeze into the midtown area was always going to make it difficult to access, especially for weekday gametimes that come up against rush-hour traffic in and out of the downtown area. Unfortunately, on our visit, there was also major construction going on right across the street from the stadium. Bottom line: STUNNING place to view a great game of football (yup, I went there!) in KC!!

Great stadium with excellent people flow!…read more Getting into the stadium was a breeze and exiting and driving away was also quite easy with very few hiccups for having 69k people in attendance for the Colombia v. Ghana World Cup game. They had full facilities working but not as many vegetarian options. That could be improved.

We came here for a World Cup match between Ecuador and Curacao (it was a draw, 0-0). Waaayy more…read moreEcuador fans than Curacao, but that's besides the point! I am not sure if the problems were how FIFA organized this or the logistics of the place, but the journeys into and out to the buses were nightmares! We paid for a shuttle to take us there, but there was what HAD to be 1 mile walk between the dropoff and the stadium! It was so hot, we needed a post shuttle shuttle! Seriously? The parking lot was also filled with FIFA sponsors and a store of course to buy merch. WE passed overflowing containers of bottles and things that were not allowed in. Once we got close, there were no well defined and organized lines near the gates or entrances. People were a little frustrated but no incidents that I saw. Getting in was ok, but we passed what seemed like 3 levels of security, which I can totally understand for such a huge event. Once inside we were fine. The setup of the stadium pretty standard. We ate a couple of hours before, so we just got drinks and snacks. (the price of Flamin Hot Cheetos was crazy!) and my party got a souvenir cup. The inside photos of the match were great! WE had nice seats to see the action; as a Chicagoan I compare most stadiums to Soldier Field, and it's not much better or worse. The bathrooms were ok, I think, and the red/yellow seats were unique. Getting out was just terrible! We visited a couple of booths in the parking lot to get free swag, and when it came time to head to the buses, there were crowds and ill organized lines with signs of where to go. It was a long, hot hour plus nightmare with people getting very cranky (us included). WE opted for the bus when we read that FIFA wanted $120 for parking!! Nuts to that! OTOH, with an early flight, getting to a car and heading back to the hotel at a decent hour seemed priceless.

We attended a conference here on the weekend with 1500 people in attendance. It was very spacious…read moreand the acoustics were pretty good. They had two big screens on either side of the front and a huge stage. Lighting was good and the temperature was cool.Staff was attentive with receiving our tickets and stamping my wrist. Restrooms are clean. There is plenty of free outdoor parking. There might be some paid parking on other days as I saw a $7 sign by the parking lot. The arena is in a very unique location and can be hard to find without a GPS. The back of the chairs were dusty. Some of the chairs were padded. Overall a good place for needing large space.

This small arena, part of the American Royal complex, is on the site of the old stockyards, smack…read morein the middle of the Bottoms. At about 5,000 capacity, it's a quarter of the size of its next-door companion facility, Kemper Arena. It's mostly used for livestock competitions of all varieties: rodeo, cutting horse, &c. -- as well as the exalted American Royal BBQ competition that occurs annually in October. Seats in the arena are bleachers, not very comfortable, but at least they have backs on the benches. There's a very nice little museum to the right of the entrance, worth a stroll through to see old photos & artifacts of the glory days of the stockyards & rodeos, as well as some cheesy-but-fun interactive exhibits for the little kids. Saddle up, y'all.

The Royals vs. the Padres went into extra innings and ended with a walk-off win in the 10th, 7-6…read more Mind blowing doesn't even cover it! On a very hot day, we started smart -- Hawaiian Bros Dole Whip to cool down. Then went straight for our favorite: the Cheese Corn Brisketachos -- big portion, great plate to share. And of course, a frozen margarita because I always have to have one! The K has come a long way. The food and drink offerings are diverse and truly representative of what KC has to offer. Whether you're there for the game, the food, or the experience, there's something for everyone. The crowd had great energy -- not full capacity but very much alive! At one point a trend started with guys in a section rallying the crowd and taking off their shirts, and watching it grow from just a couple of guys to an entire section was hilarious and fun. Our friend got her moment on the birthday cam -- and the Fireworks Show after? Always a big hit and highly recommend staying for it! If you're a family of 4, look into the Sunday 4-Pack -- 4 tickets, 4 hot dogs, 4 sodas, and parking for under $150. A great bargain and a great time.

I was in town for the World Cup and figured what the heck, I'll make it ALL about sports! The parking was fairly cheap and nicely organized, though a marker to find our car would have been great, maybe colored poles, or funny named section markers. We ate a while before coming so we just got sweets and a drink. I was happy to get a scarf for the giveaway ala FIFA style, but I liked the other companies that were there promoting themselves and doing giveaways (towels, hand sanitizer). I got soft serve at Hawaiian Bros before realizing they had another ice cream shop on site! Oh well it was fine. I liked the fountains as a nice touch; I can always stare at water when I'm bored, and the color lights in the fountain changed, which was a nice effect. The layout of the stadium is pretty standard, but I was not nuts about the smoking sections near drinks/food. Where I'm from the smoking section is away from food and drinks. The funky artwork around there was nice for 'non-sports' fans. I also wanted to come for fireworks. I have to say the music and fireworks were stunning to watch, especially near the fountains! Of course the food is overpriced so it's best to eat beforehand, but we actually saw a vodka seltzer tasting with free samples! That's not too typical in Chicago! A nice surprise. David M has a point about public transportation. To have TWO stadiums across the street from one another and no buses to get to them is criminal! I get it is near residences, but a shuttle of some sort should be an option!

It was a little difficult to figure out how to access the place due to closed lots and such, but the Arena staff off Lot B were super-nice. We desperately needed some help with a high speed connection for a work thing. My partner in crime called and talked to Guillermo (hope I spelled it right, brother!) and he was a pro - made sure knew what time they close as it was already in the 8pm hour and didn't want to leave us hanging. Guillermo was cleaning up from the day when we got there and dropped everything to make sure we were taken care of and undisturbed. He got me plugged in immediately and we fired off what we needed to quick. The charge per hour was super-reasonable and with a free drink? Internet cafes of the 90's might be dead, but arenas like this are a godsend when you need some speed for up/down connections.

Their reclining seats are also very comfy, probably even comfier than my couch at home. The screen and dynamic sound quality are also noteworthy.

To make your experience even better, B&B Theater has a Jazz lounge with live music to add to your movie going experience. Their slogan is "Enjoy the magic of the movies!"The small touches will definitely make your movie going experience magical.

All for supporting movie theaters but damn…read more We took the kids down here, despite it being more inconvenient than most, we wanted to live it up and try something new. I guess I'm glad to have tried it, but the worn out vibes, the not-so-helpful skeleton crew, and some other issues have me admitting it was a mistake. This used to be a shiny, vibrant feeling theater as the Alamo Drafthouse, but now it feels like it's hanging on for dear life. When we walked in it was silent, and they had the guy running the snacks also doing ticket check in. So basically we had to wait in line to get scanned as the poor guy was overstretched. I figured let's grab a bottle of water which was like $7-$8.. ridiculous. One of the selling points is we thought they did food here so we could get dinner -- nope. Kitchen was closed. For the kids movie we saw (Eleo) it was all the way up and the escalators were broken. Schlepped our way up carrying the youngest and through the uncanny, silent space. Saw the movie, were the only ones there, the theater was fine if not a little odd. When we were leaving I asked someone working how to validate my parking. Instead of, you know, doing it, he pointed me to a little white machine. I put my ticket in, but it didn't seem quite right. I asked the guy (who was wearing AirPods) if it worked and he said yes. I started to put it through to double check and he emphatically stopped me from it and assured me it worked. So we haul the kids back to the Cosentino's garage, wait forever to get out of it, and then when we scan our ticket instead of the gate opening we get hit with a $27 charge, despite having seen a movie and having parking covered per their website. I was freaking pissed, but we had a ton of cars behind us and no one manning the booth (side note, companies, you can't keep trying to get away with having no one working your space, your businesses simply don't function without people.) I ate the charge and reached out to the theater about it. Valerie with customer service was friendly, but let me know the manager essentially said they won't be doing anything about it. So yeah, $60 for a movie that will be streaming in a few weeks, $7 for a small bottle of water, and $27 for parking that should've been free. Hard pass on this and any other theaters this group runs, this was a crappy experience.
