AEG/Rose Garden Arena Reviews

For it being in Portland it's actually really easy to get to and out of back on the freeway. Seats are comfy not much leg room in the isles but not a bad seat in the house.

Section 301 row O seat 20. I'm terrified of heights, but overcame my fear and had a blast at my first ever NBA game.

1st NBA game and even tho Blazers lost it was very entertaining!! Definitely will go again!

Our seats were far from the entrance but we enjoyed the game Food choices could be extended at each level

Dang. Just dang in the moda center I am pretty sure I saw moto moto their mr Wwossker said Aye loser I think moto moto Liikesz u I said hecc. Then the blozzers came and said I like em big I like em chunky. Owo good service though.

Love this place. Food is a bit pricey what you could expect at a venue like this. Go BLAZERS!

Venue is large and carries a lot of energy. Really enjoyed the trailblazer games as well as travis' concert

Love this place. If only there was more parking...

Michelle Obama - just wonderful. Motivating, inspiring, thought-provoking.

Went to Fleetwood Mac concert with my mum had a great time and great seats!

PSU graduation.

A great venue

Great show and the staff did an Amazon job at crowd control.

Great seats. Very interacti e. Half time show was a local dance company and the smallest girls were amazing and adorable! Great venue for an outing!

Not a bad place at all for a good event! I drive 4 hours it every time so it's worth it.

We have been going to the (Rose Garden) now Moda Center since my kids were little. They are now in their middle 30 s. The last time we went was to see Elton John. We have always had an amazing time! I have been reading other reviews and some have said it s confusing to find your seat. It s a HUGE venue. If you just follow the posted signs, you ll get right to your seat. If you look up the seating chart onliine prior to going, you can save some time walking from where you park. Others have left reviews about the food being too expensive. This is the norm when you go to most concerts, fairs, etc. Just plan to eat before or after the event, or splurge and buy food there. If you re already having a special night out, plan on spending the extra for the convenience of food and drinks while you enjoy the event. The food and selection of food is great. Every event we have been to (circus, Disney on ice, hockey, basketball, Cirque Du Soleil, music concerts, comedy shows, etc) we have had a positive, enjoyable experience. Highly recommend this venue!!!

Very clean, easy to get to especially via the Max. Prices are very expensive thou, be prepared for your wallet to take a hit

Portland's best venue for large scale concerts, needs ventilation got way too hot... Food is outrageous, 2 hot dogs, 3 sodas & 1 popcorn $48 seriously, are they insane? Of course I paid it so maybe I am

Love the venue. But if event is delayed prepared to be corralled like cattle

Nice variety of food and drink. Parking lot can be chaotic after an event, but plenty of parking usually available

$12 beers is outrageous. It would be nice to be benefitted for being a loyal customer of an establishment for years.

Really need more handicap spots on each parking level. Took my mom last night and couldn't find one so had to drop her off on level 5 where we were going into a suite then go find regular parking. Once inside the doors she had no where to sit and rest until I got back down to her.

My 1st time to see TSO! I'm now going to be a repeat offender! Loved it!

Trans Siberian Orchestra was AMAZING!! Really amazing great time watching this show. If you have never been, you definately should experience this concert!

I went with my friend to see out two favorite team, I love this place is amazing

Impressed with the food selections inside! And not too spendy, considering the location. I went to Cha Cha Cha and was able to get a gluten free meal for $14.

You can bring non-glass water bottles in if they're under 32oz. You CAN'T bring backpacks in. They make you check them across the way for free, so that's good. But next time I will definitely leave my purse/backpack at home.

Really nice,easy parking and wasn't bad leaving the game considering how many ppl there were. Take your family and go!!!

Came for ELO concert. Long entrance lines to get through security but after that smooth sailing inside.

Hard to find a place to park when the Blazers and Winterhawks play on the same night. Lots of father-son fun!

Not a bad event location just wish they do something about the loud drunken people at events other then that pretty nice just spendy for food and drinks

I would have no doubt about buying tickets at the Moda Center. Excellent venue

Great atmosphere for a large event center. Parking is seamless which is always a concern going to such a large event. Though leaving and getting to go in the direction you want can be tricky but it's worth it. The food vendors inside are great as well.

Winterhawks game was amazing as usual. Only negative is the Moda Centers decision to remove my right to defend myself and family.

Nice arena saw TSO here 4 years ago it was awesome we will return!!!

For an event center of this size the parking situation is not too bad. When we leave a game at the end we usualy are out of the area within 20 minutes. Prices at the concession stands are steep but expected at sporting events. If you are in the market for a suite level event the food is very good and well prepared.

Safe during the day,little rough at night. Have your A game, and walking shoes on.
Short walks to stores and convention center.

Lots of cool events happen here. There isn't a bad seat in the house.

Food selection has improved drastically over the years.

Always a good experience bring your family if your by yourself you'll still have fun ! Even when the home team is on the losing side, and the crowds are always big

Attended my first event in one of the suites. Catered BBQ was very good. Great seats, fun crowd, our own bathroom that was amazing.

Staff was helpful in helping us find our seats, and we got decent parking for only $15

Accomdating for you while enjoying either a game, a concert or whatever the event you have.

Caught a Winterhawks game on a Sunday evening at the Moda Center. I fell in love with the center! I was thrilled to find out that they offered free baggage check located right next to it which was super convenient and easy to get to. No bags with two straps are allowed in so if you plan on bringing one, plan on checking your bag in before you get in line.

Quiet atmosphere with excellent food. Fireplace seating for your group if you can swing it.

Depending on the event and location, this place can be an amazing arena or an average venue. I've had amazing experiences here but have had other times where the sound doesn't hit right and it just falls flat. the rest is pretty standard as arena stuff goes.

Aug 3 2019 Disturbed was on stage. In the Moment was up first. I purchased nose bleeders for cheap, arrived and was upgraded for no additonal fees. Super stoked. Nice location to the stage.

Went to a Trailblazers game. The arena was nice with all the modern updates. Our seats were clean and comfortable. The noise level was not to loud. I felt safe with the security check points at the entrances.

Food Is good but spendy, but it's always fun watching the game.

It will always be the Rose Quarter to me....And I'm so old School but sometimes I miss the old Coliseum..I'm glad it's still Standing...Moda Center is where we have everything fom Concerts to Monster Trucks..Of course Home to The Trail Blazer's and a very busy Bus and Max Transit Center... Beautiful building love to walk up there at nite to see it lit up and watch the Fountain shoot in the air...Need to take some Pictures...

Great Arena! Lot's of food options and restaurants to choose from inside. There is always something going on at the Moda Center. Would Highly recommend seeing a Portland Trailblazers game. Good place for concerts and other venues also. Not a seat in the house where you'll miss the action.

Decent, in good repair. Concession options are limited and expensive, of course, but food is better than typical stadium fare. Lots of options for the beer fanatic.

Great place for basketball!! Saw the Portland Trail Blazers and we WON!! As expected terrible food and drink prices but, hospitality was awesome.

An exciting venue. Easy to get around. Security worked hard to reunite me with my 12 year old who got lost looking for the bathrooms. Was appalled by the prices for food and drink. $18 for two bottles of water and a root beer.

I loved this experience. Made the Blazers come to life! Also loved Kid City.

$7.50 for a mostly ice soda. $7 for a mostly crust slice of pepperoni. C'mon man...

Overpriced concessions as usual. Otherwise excellent! Security was much quicker than in the past, and facilities were very clean and well stocked!

Good and drinks are expensive, but it's a nicely maintained facility.

The staff is informative, courteous, and friendly. The fans are the greatest! The ambiance is amazing, feeling intensely alive with electric energy. The seats are comfortable and most views are good. Avoid the top rows of the 300 level they'll make you dizzy. The food and service are good, although selection is very limited and prices are extreme. Overall, the experience is wonderful.

Great sports and entertainment arena. wheelchair accessible. Lots of willing to help staff. Go Blazers

Loving it!!! Drove from VanCity so my daughter can experience a Portland Trail Blazers game.

The Killers and Franz Ferdinand were amazing! Bring earplugs since they crank it up to the point of distortion; and be prepared to make a mad dash, even with VIP.

Parking was awful. I paid $15, I thought will be convenient, no, it was the worst part of the experience. Employees not to helpful either. Besides that, the booth and the ushers were very friendly and helpful.

Music was great. Venue was awful. Worse than coach seating on a plane. Try somewhere else.

Fantastic time. Blazers were a blast to watch. Always a great experience.

It will always be the Rose Garden to me, almost dropped a star because of the name change. A great stadium doesn't have any bad seats. It was built vertically enough that even in the upper 300s you still have a good view. Never had a problem with any of the staff. Have been to concerts, Blazer games and played on the basketball court myself. All great experiences. Except when the Blazers lose

One star off becuase I wish was still called Rose Garden big company buying them out and changing name makes me think of corporate takeover. Other than that Many events i have attended here and enjoyed them all security is tight and i am appreciative of it makes me feel safe while attending events.

Always fun to root for the blazers - Portland's classic sports team! Clean facilities and good staff! Check out a game while you're in town!

Went to see The EAGLES CONCERT with free winning concert tickets. Show was great.

Game was good. Prices at concessions are way too high. A bottle of water is twice the cost of a full case, soda $7.00 for a McDonald's size med.

Visited there last night and was very impressed with everything! Superb stadium and very friendly staff

We visited the Moda Center to attend the Twenty One Pilots Emotional Roadshow tour in mid July 2016, it was a really clean stadium and the ushers were super friendly and helpful. It was really nice that there was no smoking allowed, and the only puking that happened was down below in the mosh pit. =D

As a concert venue, the only things that Moda center has going for it are: 1 - big, so bigger acts can book there, 2 - easy in and out, and 3 - easy access to services like drinks. However, the acoustics are TERRIBLE. If you just want to say that you went to see someone, then fine. However, if you have any interest in actually enjoying the music, then you might be better off waiting. Even a high end concert setup sounds like a basketball PA system in that building.

I have been there for a Sting concert and most recently for the TrailBlazers and Oklahoma City Thunder basketball play offs!!! It was absolutely crazy energetic atmosphere,like no other place. Never seen so many people in one place, cheering together for the same cause. Great food options, the game was AMAZING!!!

Cirque du soleil here! Great venue, parking attendants a pain, everything else was great.
