AEG/Rose Garden Arena Reviews

Section 300 is just as fun as section 100 BUT we get access to more bars at the third floor!! Such a great time at the Moda Center and the staff are all very friendly!!! Go Blazers!!!

It should still be called the Rose garden, but oh well. It's a great little stadium, and going to a blazers game is unforgettable. There are a wide array of food and beverage options, but the drawback is the cost,$12 for a beer is just insane. At least the selection is outlandishly awesome. Parking can be difficult, but sometimes you can park at the expo center lot, it's usually cheap and is a short walk.

Great concert venue. Elton John concert was amazing!

Easy parking. Short walk to gates. Concerts are well staffed and not a bad seat in the house.

Blazer game did not disappoint! So many food and drink options! Restrooms were super clean and stocked. Our seats were one row below the boxes. So great!

It's a great venue if you like stadium shows. It's a good place to see big names but it's not intimate. The bartenders are a bit slow and lines are long, but it's an experience you should have at least once. Catch the Blazers, it'll be worth it.

Good venue for a myriad of events... parking can be a challenge and refreshments are at a premium price

This place is always wonderful for shows and concerts, theres also helpful workers there!

Loved Disney on ice, good experience and good venue with decent priced food

The facility is great. Food options are quite good.

Saw a comedy show here. Sat up in the 300 level, and everything was so unbelievably reverbed and echoey in the stadium that I could hardly understand what they were saying. Would've been an awesome experience seeing my favorite comedian, but I had to strain my ears to understand anything.

Moda Center is always amazing. Took my daughters to see Katy Perry earlier this month. They loved it. Highly recommend when seeing a concert where you take your kids that you sit at the top row. They have a ledge where the kids can go dance, and you can see everything!

I just love the dancing water fountain sit there and relax

Great event place. I live in Vancouver. I take 205 to a Max station. It drops you off in front of the building. That is the only way to go. Drinks and food are expensive.

Great place to watch a game with affordable ticket prices!

Awesome atmosphere, a little pricey but a really good time.

It's amazing and we're ever u sit u can see the event

I love seeing concerts here. But I don't like security not checking my bag properly with a flashlight. I had a BIG purse. I don't carry a weapon but BECAUSE my bag wasn't checked correctly. The metal detector didn't go off while wearing a lot of jewelry. *I felt very unsafe. *Not to mention a fight broke out, and I went to the bathroom to find out. More then 1 Women had knife on them. It was really difficult to enjoy the concert after hearing that. Plus the experience with my bag not being checked, the security guy said. "I DON'T WANT TO SEE NOTHING I DON'T WANT TO SEE." I was so beyond frusturated. Especially with gun control problems in the USA

Always have a great time here. Way to expensive tho they could lower the price a little

Biased Review: Providence Park is the best stadium in town, BUT ... Moda Center is HUGE, and service is always nice. Of course it is expensive AF, but all stadiums are. The whole facility is huge which really helps the place not feel so crowded.

Despite missing my beloved Rose Garden title, Moda center has done a very good job with their renovations, upkeep and food options.

The show was amazing. The parking was so unorganized and caused a major traffic issue! Ended up late for the event so that was disappointing! Please open now parking for three events.

I meet at this place every Thursday for East Portland Rotary Club Meetings. It has fabulous lunches. Chef provides nutritious food. Caters Vegitarain and non Vegitarain meals. Easy parking at this building.

Go blazers! If you want to get in without long lines get there earlier.

$9 soft drinks? OMG. Pretty good facility with good seats.

Went to see Lana Delray last week. This week we went to the NF in concert. I have to request ADA seating. They are so very kind and always asking how they can helo

We love the Moda center venue. Bob Seger was awesome! So glad we were able to go!

Saw Elton John here. It's a very nice venue. The concessions were way overpriced.

Went for a Post Malone concert! Great lighting effects and pyrotechnics. Sound was loud enough to make my video distort lol

I was there for a graduation so I did not get the full impact of the place.

Came here for PK80 College basketball tournament a few weeks ago over thanksgiving and have been to several Portland Trailblazer games in past as well. It was a great time with family and the staff through out entire facility was very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend to anyone in area looking for fun venue!

Huge sports arena used for concerts games and graduation ceremonies.

Nice facility for concert attended...transport out after event was a nightmare

I had a great time going to my first trailblazers game, they gave me a large button with their mascot on it that I have on display on the wall in my office at work!

I liked everything except the stage lights hurt my eyes they were pointing horizontally at the audience and very bright. And the other issue was the concession counters were understaffed for the amount of people that were there.

Event was great but if they could have more visible directions back to the parking garage that would have been very helpful. Nothing is very well labeled there. Spent 20 minutes going into a circle trying to find the way to the damn garage. Needs a directory, arrows, just something or anything would be beneficial.

Love the moda center I love watching the blazers. It has gotten so expensive though

The Rose Garden is just lovely. I will never call it any thing other than that.

Easiest concert experience we've ever had. Ushers were great.

Lots of great food choices. Very clean and great staff working there.

Went to go see The Black Keys tonight. It was my first time at the Moda and it was quite the experience. Overall iij loved the event, the light show was EPIC, and the keys were on firee! So if you got a band you love, this place will blow them up!

Recommend you buy parking tickets befire the event day when you purchase your event tickets. Drove down from Seattle and came here for the monster truck show about 5 months ago. Was just like any other Convention Center. Met all my expectations, parking was fine, navigating around to find our section and seats were easy, and getting out of the parking lot and back on the road went smoothly.

The concert was great but the staff was not very helpful. Gave us the wrong direction to our seats and an elderly couple stood in the aisle for 10 minutes looking for their seats without any help from the staff. We ended up helping them ourselves.

Saw Iron Maiden, roger waters and smashing pumpkins. Sound was excellent for all of them and staff very nice and helpful.

First time coming to the Moda Center, had an amazing time at the Siberian Orchestra! Bathrooms were clean and food was amazing!

Large clean arena where the Portland trail blazers play. Sound system was also very good. Layout was fairly simple but some doors were locked when we were told to go in that direction. Ended up backtracking to get to seats. Restrooms were ok. Food pricey.

Saw Weezer for the first time! Great event location.

Easy to get to, bar had great service and great beer at a price, Great place to watch a concert!

Monster jam pretty good but gets boring really fast

Shaved ice; $20, cotton candy; $20, cash only and no receipts! Thievery!

As a disabled person, The Moda center impressed me greatly. They had parking for us, a enterance that was just for ADA. The staff went above and beyond to help us. The seats were amazing. I want to personally thank you for making this event go smoothly, making it enjoyable, and the respect that was shown.

The energy in the Moda is amazing!! What an entertaining game!

Moda Center is not a terrible venue. Parking isn't nearly as expensive as the Bay Area, but expect to pay around $20. Everything inside is outrageous as any stadium, but they switched from fountain to bottle Coke, which is good because it was always watered down. Anyway you'll pay $8-$10 for a 20 oz cola and $10 for a 12 oz beer. This was for concerts, I have never been to a sports event. I would imagine it's the same or more.

Love the food and drink choices. The cup holder between my legs on the seat in front of me is a game changer, as a big guy I could use a little more room in the seats. But the recently upgraded sound is amazing and so loud. Indoor pyrotechnics? You got it. Lighting? Lasers? Motorcycles??? You got it!

Fun venue for concerts. Large, fits people. Also good for sports. That's basically the two main reasons this venue exists. I haven't seen any Theater of The Clouds shows yet but I'm sure those are excellent too. Too bad I hate TicketMaster.

They charge for plastic cups for drinks that don't even fit in their cup holders.

Seating is too cramped. Concessions are ridiculously expensive. I'll always prefer the Memorial Coliseum.

Great atmosphere, but very expensive vendors. It would be great if they offered cheaper options for food & drink. $9 is the cheapest beer found in the stadium, for example. While there are bountiful selections, not a single one caters to the budget. Maybe a factor of rent?

Concession lines are always too long and their website shows that they have way more vegetarian options than they actually do. The arena itself is nice, but if you want an extra beer, you'll miss half of the game.

Kiss concert was great. The music sounded really good

Great venue! Thank you for bringing Portland amazing entertainers!

Service is fast and organized. Food services could be friendlier. Bad sight lines on corners of arena, can't see the Sats board unobstructed.

The worst seats in this place are still enjoyable. Had a great time.

Moda Center, formerly known as the Rose Garden, is the primary indoor sports arena in Portland, Oregon, United States. It is used for basketball, ice hockey, rodeos, circuses, conventions, ice shows, concerts, and dramatic productions. The arena has a capacity of 19,393 spectators when configured for basketball.[2] It is equipped with state-of-the-art acoustics and other amenities.

I've been here several times to watch the Blazers play. It's a great place to watch a game and really liked the second level where my ticket included a $30 credit to spend on whatever I wanted.

Very expensive for alcohol cut good for concerts, trail blazers or a Bernie Sanders rally. Parking and traffic can be issues also.

How do you review a giant stadium venue?
The inside is what it is. I've seen many concerts, a few Blazer games and other types of events. It all seems to function pretty well. The sound is better than some, but it's still a stadium.

I can say that the food is definitely better than other giant venues. They had an excellent local craft cider (Avid) and many of the food options are also local, like Killer Burger. You may have to walk a bit to find those, so make sure you know what you want and where it is. Even the generic ones are decent, and they don't gouge you as much as they could (cough, Safeco Field, cough, cough).

Great place to watch the Blazers. But ticket scalpers are king here. Ticket resellers love to mass buy tickets and gorge ticket prices. I would not recommend buying tickets for concerts here.

Great new vendors this season! The ushers are always friendly, helpful and fun

Show was amazing, venue not so much. Still had an killer time!

Always have an awesome experience. Most recent was the L.A Lakers! You can see good anywhere you sit!

Great venue for a concert. Great sound and not a bad seat in the house.

I ve been in Portland for 3 weeks for training and the people here have been awesome, so myself and a few coworkers decided to go to Portland game and had a blast , went clubbing afterwards of course. So many things to do downtown Portland love this place, will definitely be back

Very nice venue. The number system for seat sections need better signage to help people find the best direction to walk in. If you study the map before going in you'll avoid walking around lost!

Had a great family experience. The halftime show was extremely amusing to my young son.

Easy to navigate with the signage. Nice layout. Concert sounded great. Bathrooms were easy to find.
