Stand in line for concessions, to get in, to go to the bathroom, to leave. This place still hasn't figured out how to to move people during an event. Absolutely the worst. Did I mention $10.00 for parking? These guys could learn something from the FargoDome, $5 for parking and I'd be home already.

Someone made some very bad management decisions. I'm at the Metallica show as we speak. But I've been waiting in line for a drink for almost 40 minutes. You chose to have only one person per booth serving drinks? I'm not sure why you would have thought that was a good idea, but you've lost a lot of business tonight as a result. I've heard nothing but complaining from everyone in line. Extremely disappointed in the brutal lack of service.

When to Five Finger Death Punch/Shinedown. Stood in line to get t-shirts for an hour. They had the line going towards the top of the stairs/escalator which caused a massive logjam of people. Plus they had one booth for t-shirts & the place was packed for a huge concert. What were they thinking? Have any of the people putting the show on actually ever attend a concert? It was gross incompetence at its finest. They could have easily had two booths up top open (one on either end) & one on the floor with a little planning it wou... read more

The management company just isn't good at handling a crowd. Long lines to get into parking because they charge, long lines for security, long lines for concessions... at a small event no less. Things were much better when it was run by the city.
