AEG/Rose Garden Arena Reviews

Love this venue! Easy parking, great food and beverage spots, efficient vehicle and people traffic control, security and ticketing staff are super friendly and helpful.

Security is very lax and let multiple people in with guns and knifes when only stopping someone that ask about the knife and gun they just got through security with. Watch multiple other people put knife in basket just to get it back without question including me... Feel sorry for Jeff Dunham, he has probably been lead to believe the security here is top notch when in fact it is far from that.

It's built so you can see the floor from every level which is great and is very interactive which is fun with family or friends

Terrible cab/lyft pickup area food prices are too high even for a stadium. Staff is great and friendly place is Clean and crowd control was effective

I saw panic at the disco live here. The venue was super big and perfect for a concert. 10/10 would see again.

Beaughtiful building nice staff very courteous. Its quiet when its empty. You can feel the energy that this creates almost electric. Thankful for the opportunity to work there starting soon.

Major fail of Moda Center. We have been looking forward to Pentatonix for months! Sold us 5 phantom tickets in row "P" of section 227 that does not exist! The usher even joked while directing us to our seats that it's standing room only (because it is a cement walkway). How is this a joke and why didn't he direct us to ticket services immediately? This issue should have been resolved in advance or at the very least, when our tickets were scanned for entry. We were only offered alternatives of 2 seats and 3 GA standing room. Not okay as some of us have medical/physical issues who cannot stand for extended periods of time. Now 3 of us had to go home as there were no other options available, yet I am looking at empty seats next to me and in the rows adjacent. Although we were offered a refund, this was still highly disappointing. Poor and unprofessional customer service from the usher to the guest service and ticket service on the day of the snafu! Much better recovery the second day.

Watched the Blazers game second game of the new season
Moda center was rock in nice facility had inside parking nice going in delayed coming out

Cool except for the racist security guard that pulled the "you sure you belong here?" routine when I was with black people.

Nice arena, but everything is over priced. More so than at the movies.

Nice place. Good food usually. Good variety. But expensive of course.

I love my Blazers! You will not be disappointed at a Blazer game. Crowd and energy is off the charts. We have the best fans ever! Rip City!

Attended a concert at the Moda Center and found it easiest to ride light rail to the Rose Quarter stop and walk in. There was decent food and spirits off the concourse once inside.

Sporting events here are good, particularly with the seats/amenities on the Club Level. However, it is a difficult venue to see a show. Seats are tight and steep; very awkward whenever anyone in the row needs to move. Sound isn't great but the acts that a venue of this size can attract generally are great. While you want Club Level or boxes for sports, if you can't swing floor seats for entertainers, it probably isn't worth the effort.

Magnificent concert. The staff were friendly. Seating didnt make you feel like a sardine.

Been here for multiple events and I find the facilities and overall feel of the building great. I wish the traffic to get here for events weren't so bad but that isn't really the fault of the Moda Center.

Went for a show. Seats were comfy. Food options are good and not as expensive as they could be, but still a little pricey

A lot of different places to eat inside the center compared to ten years ago the last time I visited.

Seating in the 100 level was worn from what it was and could use some upgrades.

Packed. Super un-personalized. It felt like staff were robots...

I love the Moda Center, very nice, easy walkway, open area to hangout or have a social drink before an event. Great place to visit.

Great food and beer options, for an arena of its kind. Modern and clean facility.

Love the concerts here! Very amazing views of your favorite musicians as well as the blazers. Great food too!

The Moda center is nice. It's an arena so it's pretty damn big but I feel like there really isn't a bad seat in the house especially with the fact that you can pick up a pair of tix to a decent game for $18! That's what's up! Just a heads up, if you end up in/around the 327 section you're sitting on the opposite side of where you enter though, so you have quite the walk to get to your seats. They offer GOOD beer which is expected living in Portland but nice to see none the less.

Parking is expensive as eff so definitely plan accordingly and Max or Lyft there. Getting home is not as simple if taking Lyft. My biggest tip would be to walk a couple blocks away from the Moda Center to Lyft b/c it is a COMPLETE CLUSTER FUX! Once finally hunting down our Lyft we got the low down; Moda Center forces the Lyft and Uber drivers too ALL go to one spot to pick up and drop off. Then on top of that they shut down half the roads so EVERY ride share end up in this massive grid lock where no one moves b/c they're all waiting for their fares and no one's walking to their ride shares to hunt them down. There ALL just WAITING to get PICKED UP!!! This totally sucks and turns your once fun time into regret!

Love the Moda Center, home of Portland Trail Blazers, my favorite NBA team! Moda is easy to get to even if you are unfamiliar with the area. Parking can be a major pain on occasion but expect it on game nights especially if Winterhawks are also playing in Portland. Moda has great seating in nice venue. Moda is very ecologically minded, recycle & think green.

Had a great time at the Weezer concert. Definitely pay for reserved parking ahead of time.

Great place for a concert, easy parking but it can get insane busy the bigger the event. Take your time, enjoy the show :)

A very nice venue with good parking and public transportation access. The place has a good vibe and carries the sounds of the game and crowd really good. We didn't have that great of seats by the standard, but I felt like we were right in the mix and could see all of the action.

Had a great time at the Blazer game at the Moda Center in Portland tonight.

Great place to enjoy a show or game but beware of the prices of goods.. $12 a beer

The guy that assisted my friend on crutches into a wheel chair and walking us to the car with the wheel chair was super sweet.

I havent been in the center itself but I did visit the grounds and I must say it is fantastic. Trees galore wheelchair friendly clean the staff that cleans and keeps it looking great should get a big raise.

The place itself is nice. Unfortunately some of the food vendors are only open for certain types of events. Nights that parking is $8-$10 in the garage are great. When there are multiple events and parking becomes $25+ I highly suggest parking elsewhere are riding the Max in. Not only will this save you money but also the headache of getting out after the game.

I'm worried now that any event I go to here will start out great and I then turn into sicko mode thanks to this guy.

Ten minutes before the start of the game and they were sold out of cider, pizza and garlic knots.... seriously?

Food selection is off the charts good! Better experience here then even the Seahawks stadium

Super quality facility, with all of the charm of Portland captured inside. Just like the airport, many of the food vendors inside are hot local joints. It's awesome!

Extremely over priced vendors, they cut alcohol off super early, parking is crazy expensive

Home to the Portland Trail Blazers and many other local teams and events the Moda Center is located in the heart of Portland. From all the different mini stores and restaurants there is always something fun to do in between the action. The security staff and all the workers here are always professional and ready to assist.

Nice place. Easy security check, and the sound was good even up in the nose bleed section. Only reason I'm giving them a 4 star review is those were the absolutely most atrocious garlic fries I've ever tasted. GAHHH!

Blazers vs Kings. Down by over 30 pts at the half, the blazers came back to win.

Stopped here for a trailblazer game on St. Patrick's day. The facility was lovely the game was great would definitely go again

Home of the Portland Trail Blazers!!!

Classic arena for sports and presentations meetings and such. Very unique open air feel (in the summer) with curtains drawn.

It's a good stadium for the Blazers. It's been well kept and it's in an easy location to get to.

Great stadium, had a blast with my son at a Blazer game!

Seen the Backstreet Boys DNA world tour..great show!!

Great Venue!! Security very nice and Ushers were very helpful and curtious!!

I have seen The Eagles, Coldplay, Pink and several others great performance at the Moda Center. And I ALWAYS HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME. I am disabled and everyone there seem to go out of their way to help!

A city the size of Portland is lucky to have a venue this awesome and modern. Seats in top tier can be a bit far away for b-ball.

Great food options, family friendly environment! Recommend a Blazer game with the family!

TSO was amazing. Thanks MODA Center for hosting this event

The best venue for entertainment. Besides the basketball game, the slammers, acrobatic stage show, contests for fans, and great cheerleading coming to even the third level, the Trailblazer's know how to put on a show. Puts to shame any event in Seattle and I'm from Seattle. Bravo.

Great facility but they need to give away more stuff. Everything is pretty expensive so an increased chance to have a something free would make a big difference.

The crew did an amazing job on the stage set of for the event we attended! Love it

Went up a BSB concert and was thoroughly amazed. It was huge inside, roomy seats, even though we stood during the concert, lots of eating places inside.

Great venue. Food is outrageously expensive. $24.00 for a hamburger and fries.

We missed half our concert due to road construction and lack of proper directional signs...we finally found a parking garage at the convention center and walked about 10 minutes to get there...the place was crowded of course as you would expect at a concert...we had to kick folks out of our seats and then deal with a woman in front of us who kept smoking, fortunately i had my inhaler...security finally removed her after the 3rd complaint...the concert itself was great paying $8 for a lemonade not so great...the 30 minute line for the bathroom I expected, but the hour and 20 minutes to get out of the parking garage I did not! Hope things are better in December for the Metallica concertt cause thats going to have way more people!

Really fun for events the only down side is that the cheapest beer is 10.50

Saw Disney on Ice there, and it was very entertaining, but things are very expensive there, i.e. a kid bubble blower(not sure of the name) for $35, and it might run out before the end of the show if your kid is like my son who kept his finger on the little button to make bubbles the whole time...and it's hard not to buy something when your kid(s) ask you for one of those pretty glowing toys. So, bring some money with you

Came here for sesame street live. Even though my 1 year old didn't last more than 15 minutes it was still a good experience. Moda center please get Rihanna to come to Portland for R9 tour!

Disappointed friends from outta town we're EXCITED TO SEE WHERE OUR BLAZERS PLAY ONLY GOT A CONTAINER WITH GO BLAZERS????

Moda Center always has amazing events with great food and drinks

The late great Paul Allen spared no expense on in the arena home in the Portland Trail Blazers this is date of the yard beautiful Arena

Some of the best concerts I have enjoyed here. Great acoustics and staff.

The seats we had were great. Need cup holders though

Circled the place twice looking for parking to see 21 pilots, a bday gift from my girlfriend. This took 3+ hours, as traffic in this area sucks. Every lot was for "parking pass holders only". Several attendants gave us misleading or entirely false directions that got us further delayed by the city's horrendous traffic. In the end, we wasted $$ for a show we didn't get go see, and an entire evening, to be stuck in traffic and constantly routed to the next parking area, which was always full. We were very disappointed, as we had our tickets months in advance. Won't be trying to go here again.

Waited too long to get into the Kiss concert last night. No one told us why we had to wait..

Oh Rose Garden.. you never disappoint. From Blazers to Weezer.. I'm always amazed. And the staff is always friendly and helpful making it a pleasant experience for someone like me who is easily overwhelmed by so many people.

My mom won lottery ticket seats from the Facebook page. We got to watch the Trailblazers play against the Spurs. Amazing game. There are multiple options in traveling to the Moda Center very easy to get to. The staff was friendly in helping us understand how our tickets and vouchers worked. The janitors in the men's restrooms were constantly keeping things clean. A staff member was searching for the owner of a lost walking cane. This was an amazing experience, I'll definitely purchase tickets to the next home game

I enjoy watching the Trailblazers play here with my adult kids. It's a great way to enjoy an evening with anyone. The concessions and concerts are terrific too. Great work.

Great event site. Parking fees were $25. All concessions were marked up about 5 times normal prices. Show was great but the $9.00 cola was beyond reasonable.

My sister's graduation was held here by Portland State University! It was a lot of fun and the seats were relatively comfortable for a stadium. I've eaten here before and of course it's pricey, but the food is good. I love the pretzels with extra salt and nacho cheese. Hope your event is fun too!!

Great venue for a larger show if you're looking to sit and listen, but as far as stage and floor standing depending on each show varies and is sometimes non-existent so if you pay for floor seating you could be just sitting without option for standing. Parking isn't great, but if you're willing to pay $15-20 it's there.

I was s at the KISS concert and the experience was so good that I had to give five stars. I had a easy time with security and finding my seat was simple while there were competant and knowledgeable staff on hand a willing to help. There was adequate stations for food, beverages, and souvenirs. The bathrooms appeared to be neat and clean. The seating was comfortable enough for a person with a few pounds, like me.

Great venue very expensive beer and alcohol and early cut off for smoking section and beer sad. But everything else was great

I had a blast at the Def Leppard Journey 2018 Tour! The only negative experience was the Parking! They didn't have anyone out directing the traffic, and there were other major events going on, plus it was a Friday night! So it took us 1 1/2 hours to find a parking spot, plus another 10 mins to walk to the Moda Center. But at the end of the night, it was all worth it! Love me Def Leppard/Journey!

There's nothing quite like screaming fans, alcohol, and a professional basketball game. Great for the family, and dates! I have not got the opportunity to sit in the bowl but there suites are nice enough to show you real time stats!

Great venue for the various events we've been to here.

Saw NKOTB, Paula Abdul & Boys II Men. Great sound. Helpful staff. Not enough foot room in stadium seating - I wouldn't mention this ordinarily, but it was so awkward anytime anyone wanted to get past us while we were in our seats & impossible to cross your legs unless you put your feet in the air to do so! Otherwise, all 5 stars!!

Facility was clean, staff was polite and helpful. Parking was convenient and not too expensive. Way-finding signage in the parking as well as in the facility itself was inadequate. I'd suggest you download a mobile app with the entrances and seating sections before you go.
