The atmosphere was outstanding, I mean it was a Graduation. There wasn't a bad seat in the house. The only 2 things that I didn't like were the temperature in the building. It was very warm. Also there was a medical emergency and there was no emergency personnel available.

There are plenty of restrooms and food vendors. It is very clean and the parking is convenient. Most of the staff are nice. They where all nice. I saw a few get a little gruff with other people. If you are in the stands you can exit out on the main floor towards the exit. Much easier than walking up the stairs and back down. No one questioned me when I did this and it was much quicker.

Went to the football fields to watch a game with our family. Very nice stadium. Staff was helpful, bathrooms were clean and the food was typical for the venue.

Good venue. Good seats. Nice event. Ice cream is the best. Friendly staff gets you to your seats. Even the bathrooms were decent.

Decent arena. Sight lines are pretty good. Fairly comfortable seats and plenty of spots to get popcorn, soda, etc.

Saw Sixers vs the Celtics Pre season and it was Fab. No issues getting in but only one desire for a cold one, but alas no alcohol was being served. Over all a great experience and a good time

I believe this is a good place for big events like graduations. I have been to multiple graduations and it is always a positive experience because the space is very well organized, the staff are always there for help and it is very easy to locate. Also there is a lot of parking space and it is wheelchair accessible and restrooms are easily accessible. Another positive aspect of the Bob is that it is fairly close to Main St. and you can easily go have lunch or dinner to any of the restaurants around the area.

This is the place to go to see great college basketball both men and women. Great seating. The food is home made and they even have ice cream made at the university's creamery. When they are not having a sporting event the also from time to time have concerts there. Check the U of D website for events.

The University had carefully organized the podium, chairs, etc. for maximum visuals of the graduates. This is the first time I have been to the Center for a non-sports event. The Center was clean, including the bathrooms and food was available. Seating was plentiful so the whole family could attend. Even those sitting in the back could have a good view.

We have been going to the Craft Shows at Bob Carpenter Center for years. Always good venders with neat crafts at good prices. However , over the past couple of years it has gotten smaller ie...fewer venders, They change the dates of the fall show ....usually between Oct and early Dec.. Sometimes they have crafts on both floors of the huge 2 story building. Admission is between $3-$5 per person with door prizes going off every hour ! Worth a couple of hours

Attended the first round of the Women's NCAA basketball tourney with a completely sold out house both days. Crowd control was terrific. Restrooms were clean and well stocked. The food was "arena fare" but with that said the meatball grinder was tasty and the ice cream, which I believe is made at the University by the students, was to die for. Great time! Go Hens!

This is a great place for area events and it is close to where I live, so I like that as well. The parking can be a problem because it packs out very fast. Otherwise, it is easy to access and easy to get to for events.

Attended a cheerleading event here. The venue itself was the perfect size. Parking was great. Bathrooms were dirty, did not look like they had been quality checked throughout the day. Food service was terrible. I don't expect much from the food at this type of venue but the lines were unacceptable. Many people got tired of waiting and left the line. They could have made so much more money if food service had been run more efficiently. The security and food service staff appeared to be young, perhaps students that could have used experienced management to guide them. Would have given a better review if not for the food but when you are at a venue for 7 hours, food is important.

Great venue for concerts and major events. Parking close to BCC. Food and beverages are a little expensive.
