Northern Kentucky University arena. Home to the Norsemen. Here to catch the bull riding event. Never seen one so we figured to check it out. The bulls look pretty calm ... until they strap up their "gear" and stick some crazy cowboy on their back for a wild ride. Fun event. Reminds me of the atmosphere at the stockyards in Ft Worth. Love the charged feel of the event. read more

Truist Arena - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Highland Heights, Kentucky

I would give this place zero if I could. The staff at the doors are so rude and disrespectful. Heartless and could care less about people This place is a joke and a rip off. The security wanna be cops are very rude and don't care at all. Don't bring anything but ur money and urself or u will get threatened to get kicked out. I had to throw my purse a way cause I couldnot bring it in and couldn't go back to my car along way away cause then I would have missed kids Performance that was only 5 mins long. These idiots treat people like crap. I didn't mind them searching my bag but they still were rude about me bringing it in. Wouldnt Even let me set it down and come get it. They didn't like I threw it away just to get in and the lid came off the trash can. The stupid wanna be cop then threatened me about my behavior. Yes I was mad but I was not causing and threat or harm to people Just didn't want to miss my daughter performance I drove 2 hrs to. the idiot wanna be cops wanted to argue with me after he was trying to be nice and asked if there was a problem and I explained it. He treated me like crap and I don't think anyone should be treated like that. Don't fool this this place. It is a joke. Unless u wanna get treated like crap read more

Reviewing the box office, specifically. I called the day before to get some details of an upcoming concert. The lady on the phone was nice and courteous while explaining the facility fees and such. I was trying to figure out if tix are cheaper at the box office as opposed to Ticketmaster. They are. Open 10-5 M-F, I stopped in around 11a on a Friday and found the last spot in the 20 minute parking for box office patrons. I'm glad they have this so you don't have to weasel through a garage. It's pretty easy to get to and easily seen from the road. I was inside for about 15 minutes, buying our tickets. The gentleman helping was nice and helped me pick seats from a binder. A key thing to note is you must bring an ID if you pay with credit card. They use your ID to upload your info. It is required. Looking forward to another check in when we actually attend the concert! read more

This arena is alright. I came here for a graduation so I can't speak for what it's like during a game or a concert event. The facilities overall were pretty nice if not average for this type of Arena. Plenty of seating and it looks as if there are many options for food and beverage available..though none of them were open for the event that I was at. I think their security and staff are a bit much at times. They have a very strict rule that you cannot exit the arena and then re-enter. There are signs everywhere stating it. I can understand how that would be alright for a big basketball game or even a concert..but I thought it was a bit much to still enforce it so strongly for a graduation..especially when they weren't offering any type of food or beverage options that night. I kind of felt trapped once I realized that they were still enforcing that rule that night. I also witnessed some of their staff hassle people about standing in places that they shouldn't have been (right out in the open with no signs stating that you shouldn't be there)..they just overall seemed to have a lot of extreme rules and were a bit pushy in enforcing them. Parking was a mess too. There weren't a crazy amount of spaces, and once everyone was leaving it was just Gridlock for a while. I can't imagine how horrific it is for an event with a bigger crowd...or even a sold out event..yikes. Overall..a decent facility, an overbearing staff & security team, and pretty crappy parking. It's just..ok. read more

I had previously been here for a UC vs UCONN basketball game while UC was temporarily playing here and enjoyed it. Great sporting event venue. Most recently I came for a country concert, Brantley Gilbert. I was very impressed with the setup of the stage and how close it felt, even on the second level. The acoustics were great as was the lighting and pyrotechnics! We did not eat anything, so I did not notice what the food situation was like, just purchased beers. We found that it is quicker to bring cash and find yourself a walking vendor than it is to wait inline at the regular stands. It also seemed to be a $1 cheaper per beer from the walking vendors. It was nice that parking was including with tickets as opposed to having to pay at other area concert venues. The only downside with the parking was after the show, of course there is going to be traffic, but there was a huge delay in anyone arriving to direct it. This left us sitting with no movement for quite sometime. read more

Truist Arena - Brantley Gilbert - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Highland Heights, Kentucky

I came to the recent UC vs Wichita State game on Sunday, it was my first time at BB&T Arena and there is not a bad seat in the arena for a basketball game. Like many others have said the parking situation isn't ideal as 471 around the exit is usually a standstill, but there are also two traffic lights which don't help matters. Getting into the arena after parking is a breeze, security checks the ladies purses and anything suspicious and then the ride up the escalator to the ticket scanners and off to the seats. We didn't purchase anything on this trip so I can't comment on concessions. However when we sat down in the front row of the upperdeck there was a brown water that was sticky on the floor, no idea what it was. Exiting the arena was a bit of a hassle as the escalator and stairs were packed and thus the lines were moving slowly. It also took a while to exit the parking. read more

Truist Arena - UC vs Wichita St Shockers - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Highland Heights, Kentucky

Visited BB&T for the Outcry tour this week. Lots to of stairs in every direction at this venue. They do have handicapped seating in several areas, I'm recovering from breaking foot, so needed extra space with a handicapped seat. The foot was okay, nothing special, $7 cheese pizza, $4 soda & $5 popcorn, they also had fresh squeezed lemonade & dipping dots too The main issue is the parking here & then getting out of the venue be prepared to wait read more

From my experience, all lower level seats are padded and offer great views for a basketball game. The staff working the events have always been friendly and courteous at all the events I've attended here. Concession stands offer a decent variety of food and prices are typical of an arena but not too outrageous. My only complaint is there only seems to be one flight of stairs to exit from aside from the few elevators and it really bottle necks there, kind of seems like a fit hazard. I noticed other reviews had issues with parking but that hasn't been my experience (though parking is limited). read more

Been here foot basketball games and concerts! It's great for basketball! Not baD seat in the house. Event staff always seems friendly and the arena is clean. The food venders are always good and friendly and the food is good too. We like the bbq place on the main level too. For concerts it's ok not a big fan of indoor concerts. But will happily go there to see a band I want to see read more

I don't care if they resurrect John Lennon for a one time only Beatles reunion at this place I'm never coming back. The traffic is retarded both on the way in and the way out. Just stupid! Whomever planned this university out with the thought that it should accommodate concerts and such should be publicly shamed. read more

Visited BB&T arena for a recent UC basketball game. We were able to move around and get different perspectives of the court because the game wasn't a sell out, there wasn't a bad seat in the house. Concessions available and offer typical arena food, no gimmicky foods to draw crowds like a minor league baseball game. Prices for food and drink are what you would expect $4-$10. My only complaints about BB&T arena is parking. What a mess. Allow for extra time arriving and leaving due to the parking situation. read more

Went to the Amy Schumer show tonight. She was funny, but the arena is garbage. Had to wait for a half hour for school bus to shuttle me to my car. And even then traffic was still a nightmare. Very small seats in the arena as well. Don't go here. read more

Worst parking of any arena I've ever been to. I've been to many events and everyone traffic especially leaving is so ridiculous. There are very few people directing traffic and there is no set flow. It's beyond irritating to wait an hour at your tiny arena. I've never waited that long after an event at us bank arena, great America ballpark etc. the arena is small and starting to be dated. read more

Attended the Amy Schumer show at BB&T arena at NKU. Floor seats were over $100.00 each. I was so far back I had to watch the show on the big screen instead of watching the actual performer. If I wanted to watch the show on a screen I could have saved the money and watched Amy on television. read more

I am concerned about the safety of this place. The traffic and parking are way more complicated than they should be, but that could be fixed. The main issue is the entrance and exits to the building itself. If there were a fire or emergency, there's no way people would get out of the arena safely. There are two staircases and a couple of elevators for a 10,000 capacity arena, There are just a handful of frustrated 'security' people trying to herd everyone out the doors and it's just complete chaos after any event I've attended there. This is poor planning and very unsafe. read more
