    I came here for a concert. Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena is UMBC's basketball and volleyball…read morevenue. For events, there's paid premium parking (closest to the venue), but there's also plenty of free parking in other lots around campus. We were able to park in Lot 1 which was directly across from the venue. They had parking attendants to direct the flow of traffic going in and out. There was a good flow of traffic arriving at the event. Leaving the event was a little more backlogged (which is to be expected when thousands of people leave at the same time), but the parking attendants did their best to make exiting as painless as possible. Security was quick and easy. We walked through their security scanners without a fuss. This venue also allows bags. Our tickets were scanned at the door, and we were inside in no time. This is as intimate as arenas come ~ no screens necessary! Signage was posted all around the arena to guide you to where you needed to go, and the usher gave specific directions to find our seats. We had floor seats towards the middle (not up at the front), and for short people, the sight lines were excellent - best floor seats I've ever had! The rows of chairs on the floor were neatly arranged, and each row and seat were clearly labeled with hanging signs and numbers chalked on the ground. I also liked how the floor wasn't overcrowded with seats - there was enough space to walk around freely. Once the show started, ushers also escorted guests to their seats with a flashlight. The smaller venue size allows for a more personal approach. Sound quality was good but not great, but it did the job and certainly filled the space. I'd come here again for an event.

    We did everything right. Bought parking in advance. Arrived over an hour early. None of it…read moremattered. The car line alone was 30 minutes just to reach the lots. It was obvious the parking operation was in chaos, with attendants scrambling to redirect cars because paid and unpaid vehicles were apparently mixed together. Our ticket listed a lettered lot. The attendant told us that was a system error and lots are actually numbered. So the ticket we paid for in advance directed us to a lot that didn't exist as described. Great start. Once we finally parked, we found two lines stretching at least an eighth of a mile each. We picked the shorter one and stood in the rain for 45 minutes. When we finally reached the door, the event staff greeted us with visible irritation. We had been standing outside getting soaked for the better part of an hour and were met with attitude. The only reason we stayed was because of what we paid for the tickets. Inside, electronics go into pouches, which is fine. Except the pouches have no straps and no unique identifiers. Set yours down for a second in the bathroom and good luck sorting it out from everyone else's. A small but telling detail about how much thought went into the logistics. We left early to beat the exit crush and it still wasn't pretty. I don't care who performs here. We will not be back.

    I've been a Ravens fan since I was a little girl! I turn 31 this year and grew up watching the…read moreEavens. I watched them win both Super Bowls they appeared in and I have been going to games all my life. I was also a Little Ravens cheerleader back when they did that program, and on top of that I was a game day ambassador for Ravens for one season when I was in college. I bleed the Ravens purple and black! I'm no stranger to M&T Bank Stadium and since I already did a review of Camden Yards I had to do a review for The Bank! There truly isn't a bad seat in the house even before I became a season ticket holder I would sit in the upper level and nosebleeds and felt like I still got a great view of the action. M&T Bank is its own character when the Ravens play and the franchise knows how to get fans engaged regardless of where they sit. There's plenty of food options and places to grab merch from the Ravens store. So what's stopping me from giving M&T Bank Stadium a 5/5? Though the food prices can be a bit expensive especially compared to the O's which launched a Birdland Value menu a few seasons ago. I've also had issues with the vendors selling basic stadium food like hot dogs because my food is always cold! I sit in the lower level and there's a food vendor around every corner even on the upper level but for some reason my food is always cold when I'm getting basic stuff like chicken tenders or a hot dog. It's disheartening especially when it's expensive! Yet despite that it doesn't change how much I love my Ravens or the vibe of the stadium. It's frequently being renovated which keeps the stadium feeling contemporary in the modern age. M&T Bank Stadium is a great venue and if you're a Ravens fan you'll be in for a real treat on game day.

    I had an amazing time during the Ravens v. Bengals home game!…read more The stadium is cozy (compared to someplace like a Met Life stadium in NJ), and I really don't think there's a bad seat in the house. We were in seated in the upper sections and could see all the action taking place on the field clearly. Also, the staff were friendly and did an amazing job keeping the bathrooms and common areas clean. Everything at the stadium was reasonably price, but if you're trying to save a few bucks, there are a TON of vendors around the stadium and in the pre-game area selling food and drinks as well.

    Being a New York sports fan it's hard to imagine attending a live sporting event without an element…read moreof menace. A spur of the moment trip to see the Nationals in DC was an easy audible with close proximity to the Metro and a knowledgeable, hardworking staff to smooth all the edges. One note. If you look for tickets on-line, the Nats will force you to create an account with MLB.com -- a task which is somewhat involved since I have no interest in buying the team and only want two tix. As the Nats run a cash-free organization, the easiest thing to do is go to their ticket office directly outside the center field gate and they'll text you two tix without the MLB nonsense. Being an avid ticket stub collector, I should deduct a star but what the hell, the evening was a blast. A beautiful ballpark and a great time. Five easy stars.

    My most recent experienfe at Nationals Park was extremely disappointing to a point I am strongly…read moreconsidering not coming back. I went on 05/15 for the first game of the Beltway Series. I am an O's fan so this rivalry means something to me. I also really enjoyed the Nats giveaway that day. A hot dog hat. Normally I am underwhelmed by the Nats giveaways even as a baseball fan but this was the only one I really felt excited about. I sat in Club Level and I was a little shocked that no one in staff at the park was checking peoples tickets. They were letting anyone go up to club level which was an issue for several reasons. Problem #1: It was hot dog day and the food was $5 so the lines were absurdly long and there were people from the lower and upper levels going to CLUB LEVEL to get concessions. At Camden Yards the staff actually checks your tickets to seeing you're supposed to be at Club Level. That's what makes club level great the lines are smaller but the cost is that you don't get the specialty food options like on the lower level. The only person checking tickets at club level were the guys at the door if you were supposed to be in like Sections 206-210 Problem 2: Because no one was checking club level when entering there was issues with people sitting in my seat. Where was the usher in my section??? Idk he wasn't there and some jerk took my seat saying since I was wearing an O's jersey I didn't deserve that seat. I paid good money to sit in club level and not being able to sit in my seat was ridiculous. Additionally I was harassed by several Nats fans during my time at the park. To a point one of them stole my free giveaway hat because "you're not even a fan". I paid for the ticket and I waited ALMOST AN HOUR at the gate being one of the first people to enter the ballpark and to get my hat just taken from me was a slap in the face. I already filled out the survey with Nationals Park and requested that a staffer call me and I hope they do because of all the times I've been to Nats Park in my life I've never felt as disrespected as I did on my most recent visit.
