The seats are very small, and there is almost no foot room. If you have hip or knee problems, I do not recommend this arena. My knees were in a lot of pain after sitting in the seats for three hours, and the person I went with had a lot of hip pain at the end of it, and the person I attended with does not have hip issues in general.

Unfortunately, there isn't anything that is easily fixable, it would require a good deal of construction to fix. If you're young and in shape and don't mind standing the whole time or sitting in small chairs with very little room to stretch your legs and standing in long confusing lines, it's adequate. If you're old and not in shape... avoid if you can. It would be worth looking into some ADA compatible seating for people like myself with knee problems.

Also, in the top rows, the speakers block parts of the screen on stage and it's really annoying.
