AEG/Rose Garden Arena Reviews

I liked it better as the Rose Garden, but it's still one of the best looking stadiums out there. The support of Portland's fanbase is unmatched. Definitely the place to be on game night.

Hozier and a ten dollar hot dog. What could be better? (Hozier and a two dollar hot dog.)

It seemed like they kept the messing crowds of people waiting in line for the KISS concert. They would open the doors, and then close them after letting a very very few people pass.
Doors were supposed to open at 6pm, but they didn't open them until about 7:40pm. The show was supposed to start at 7:30, but didn't start until almost 9pm.
They also allowed a "you need jesus" and anti KISS protest to happen right in front of the crowds of fans... Fans that were starting to get aggravated for standing outside static for 2 hours. Not cool at all.
Food and drinks were ungodly expensive, $24 for 2 beers for instance. At least the ticket prices were decent.
Thank god KISS put on one hell of an amazing show!!!! That's the only reason Moda Center isn't getting a one star review

The Moda center is always lovely. The 2018 Boo Bomb concert on the other hand, was not. Terribly disappointing concert. From the poor audio, visual effects, drunk & vomiting crowd, to the awful main liner. Mims and the hometown opening act were absolutely fantastic, and should've been the entire show. I've gone to the last 3 Boo Bomb concerts, and I dont kniw that I will ever go again.

Easy parking and the entrance was so close to our seats.

Our first time going to the Moda Center and we took our niece's to the Disney's on Ice show. We bought the tickets through Ticket Master and I paid for parking at that time too. Parking was cheaper then what it would have cost if I didn't purchase it beforehand, which was nice. There are lots of clear signs as you approach the Moda Center directing you to be in certain lanes and several signs to follow for their parking garages. They also had lots of attendants posted all around so if you couldn't figure out where to go they were there to help. The show was amazing, the music and voices carried well, acoustics were great! Only downside was waiting for cars to start moving after the show was over. We parked at the 2nd to the top level and even though there was a wait, it wasn't nearly as bad as other venues we've been to. Will definitely be going to more shows at the Moda Center in Portland.

This place is just WAY to big. You pay an outrageous price to see a concert and can barely see them even with good seats, just cause it's so big you're still far away and people everywhere. It's just to big!

Great venue for concerts! They have a lot of food and drink options, and the seats seem to have a good view no matter where you're seated. The staff are all friendly and outgoing to boot!

A place NBA fans must go. It is at the center of the city with light rail, easy to access

Awesome the Blazers came back from a 27 point deficit to win the game over the Sacramento kings and clinch the number 3 seat in the West . The house was a rocken..

Its ok. Not worth the money. The beer is to spendy & the people are pushy to get out. Lines are long and you can't hear what the people on mic are saying. Won't be back unless I get free tickets to something

Great stars on ice performance. Plenty of parking. But seats are even narrower than coach seating...

Although I didn't buy food, I thoroughly enjoyed walking around and seeing all the great options to choose from. Some favorites I saw was a poke bar and a ramen shop. You don't see those everyday at a sports arena. The seating was also comfortable and even in the $20 seats we had a great view.

Went to an amazing concert here, it's seats are a bit cramped, but not terrible, lots of vendors with drinks and food. Though I recommend eating before coming.

Elton John was awesome! The sound was good. It took about 20 minutes to get in the building and past security. Good choice of local food vendors l8ke Killer Burger. Prices are high and selection may be limited. Take the Max since parking is limited and can cost you $20.

Parking was a nightmare, but the moda center looks nice.

I've been here for two concerts and I think the venue is great. The staff is always friendly and accommodating, the seats offer a good view, and it's easy getting in and out of the venue. There are plenty of food and beverage options, though my only complaint are the ridiculous prices on beer, just couldn't justify it.

Great venue for all types of entertainment. Lots of great food options inside and outside of the building.

When I moved back to Portland and heard that it had been renamed to the Moda Center, I was disappointed. Then I attended a concert there, and I appreciate the upgrades they've made to the venue. When you walk around to the various food stands, they are all the local flavor, and much higher quality than you would normally expect to find at an arena - all while avoding breaking the bank. There's even a restaurant with a trio of oysters in the half shell!

The only thing that I don't love is the acoustics, but that's because it's an arena. But I also wouldn't put it past their ownership to come up with a solution to make the acoustics much better.

The NBA game is so awesome to watch and cool to see the NBA players. They play pretty well like the Golden State Warriors. Also I got to see Seth Curry ( Stephen Curry's brother). I'll never forget about my trip to the Moda Center to watch Trail Blazers playing against Utah Jazz.

Farewell Show was Super! I am Excited! Great songs!

Kiss rocked!
Moda center was a positive experience once we got in the door. Over all plan to eat inside as there are very few restaurants in the vicinity that can handle huge crowds.

I absolutely love this place. Great restaurants, lovely atmosphere. Only problem is there is an over service of alcohol at games.

Parking is smooth for a large venue. Expensive food/drink

The Tool show was phenomenal, beyond my expectation. I enjoyed it so much.

Dude... This place is so rad! What an amazing place! The MAX station is literally steps away from the entrances. There is parking but it is usually paid parking and averages about $25/space. And it is hard to leave the venue after the event is over as everyone else is clamouring to get out as well as you. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to finding your seats. Like any arena/stadium the food and beverages are a little bit pricey. However, Moda center allows you to bring an EMPTY plastic reusable bottle in which you can just fill it with the water from the water fountains--and there are plenty. Save yourself from buying a $5 water!!! In addition to concessions, Moda has several restaurants in and on the property so you can eat more than just popcorn and hotdogs while you're there. I have been for many concerts and events and have been pleased every time I go. The seats are generous, so if you're bigger--like me, you'll be able to be comfortable! The pics are from the P!nk concert and A Cirque De Soleil performance.

Blazer games are always fun! You can't beat the electric atmosphere of attending a game in person. We love all the activities available for children, too.

In the nosebleed section but still had a great view of the stage.

There was no food or beer vendors present for the neely cup. If I am going to be in an arena for 4 hours, I should be able to get some nachos and a beer. Seriously

Good atmosphere but it takes the home crowd too long to get energized. If you plan on going to a game make sure to take alternative routes than the freeway as the exit gets extremely backed up. Try to drop off and pick up at the east entrance it's the quickest in and out, be sure to try the sizzle pizza and seven bbq.

Awesome! Such a pretty and organized place, perfect for the 5sos + Chainsmokers concert!

Great place for concerts and Basketball games. Go Blazers!!!

Had a great time at the Portland Trailblazers game in the channel 12 suite. Thank you Channel 12

The venue is huge. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Moda Center is a great venue for watching the Blazers or taking in a concert. Lots of restrooms and plenty of food variety.

Loved the show ... kind of felt like I was at an airport though

Id u go to a Blaziers game...get the 20 buck seats NOT the $300 ones...TRUST ME

Always love going to games here. Decided tonight to get a root beer float but wanted the souvenir cup. They made a huge rootbeer float no extra cost! Parked in the East Garage for $25 Sometimes we can find street parking for a few dollars but $25 is good for not having to walk from far away. We saw parking up to $45. Less expensive lots fill of more than hang a hour prior to event.

Enjoyed finding easy parking near the arena. Great facility. Will be back again!!

Badass for a concert! We got #Disturbed!!! Comfy seats great view!!! Drinks available every level same with food and restrooms!

This stadium is amazing. The atmosphere outside the stadium is great. We were there for game 4 of the 2015 playoffs against Golden State. Beers range from $8 to $10 inside. The chicken strips with fries are the best deal (we thought). There's a self-serve condiment island, but the ketchup tap flows slower than a Heinz glass bottle. They handed out the bracelets and had pretty amazing laser shows that incorporated the audience bracelets. We were in the 200 section and the view was fine.

Always have a blast. Prices are always steep no matter what event

The sound quality was poor. Second concert I've been to and music is distorted. The intermission music sounded better than the live show.

I saw Weezer x Pixies with my fiance and my soon to be brother-in-law. It was amazing!!

A nice stadium with friendly staff. Of course at any big event it can be a zoo, but at least they have good beer ... not cheap, but what do you expect.

Wish the seats had cup holders! Slowly it's greying better food vendors, but it is so expensive! We are very happy with the interior now- so glad they replaced the screens!

The tickets can be super cheap for a quick date night or a friend's night out! Great visibility from every level. Good vendors and plenty of selections in their merch stores, including a new souvenir poster every game (no doubt this is where you will be spending the rest of that money you saved on tickets). The sprit is not as high as the Timbers, but the team is awesome to watch nonetheless! Go 3J!

My enjoyment of shows here plummeted when alcohol started being allowed in the seating area. Last night's Judas Priest show was ruined for me by drunks in my section. Some people might say "It's Judas Priest, what do you expect". Common courtesy is what I expect. We should be able to enjoy a show, no matter the act. I will avoid this venue until that policy is revised.... good luck with that. They make too much money on their $10 beers.

Lots of fun events. Plenty of restrooms and good choices

It's clean and looks nice but there is no leg room in the seats and not enough restrooms

This was the first time I ever attended the Moda Center, and it s a pretty decent location, pretty clean and easy to navigate. The only downfall was the audio was not setup and equalized well in my opinion. I still enjoyed it, as it was Disturbed, and who wouldn t enjoy them. But that did take this review down by 1 point, as I couldn t enjoy it to the best that I wanted to. Been to other venues where disturbed played in the exact same tour and Moda center AV could use a little better equalizing.
Still highly recommend as it s a great location and easy parking and all.

Excellent venue. I've been going here for Blazer games for 18 years and concerts for just as long. Easy to navigate, good views, and lots of food and concession stands, so there's always one nearby. Prices on food and goods are par for the course for what you would expect at a venue like this. I liked the old name better (Rose Garden Arena), but oh well. Corporate naming is pretty much standard for venues these days.

Not typically a fan of large venues so I haven't been here often, but I went for a Winterhawks game and we got good seats for a decent price. Only terrible thing was paying almost $10 for popcorn and $11 for cup of beer and not being allowed to bring your own water in. I can only imagine the ridiculous prices charged by the other food vendors for food and drink. Would 100% recommend you eat before you go to any event here.

Moda Center's ridiculous backpack rule requires all bags with backpack straps to be checked across the street. No explanation for why. Despite searching all bags. We missed the start of the show because of this. I use a small backpack because of shoulder pain of a purse strap. No reason why it's any riskier than a larger shoulder bag. I saw many women allowed in with backpacks so the enforcement is obviously subjective and prone to personal biases.

Get there early and get tickets at the ticket window! They are cheaper than any website. The people sitting next to us paid 3 times as much online. The seats are pretty cramped but we had the best time ever so can't complain

Parking here sucks but good talent plays here so it's worth it

My first time to visit the arena, was very impressive, lots of good food to choose, and got to see the trailblazer beat the Grizzlies.

Saw Morrisey here. Flew in from out of town for the show. Nice place, easy to get to and out of. Good venue

Fabulous venue and a staff that really cares about your experience. We had encountered an issue while we were there, but quest services took care of it better than I could have imagined they would. We are making this our only destination for concerts going forward.

We saw Cher here earlier this year.. had a great time, live in Seattle area & found this place every nice.

The Moda center is nice to watch sporting events and concerts bit the drinks are insanely expensive.

One of my favorite venues! Always a great time and great people. Vendors and concessions are always amazing as well.

Iron Maiden played here on 6th September 2019, what a venue, loved every second of it

The people who work here we're amazing and helpful, they never once made my elderly mother feel like an inconvenience or a bother when we needed wheelchair help. The seating leaves something to be desired almost comical lack of legroom, if it wasn't so painful

Watched the Trailblazer/GS Warrior Game. Always a fun time at the MODA Center

Just saw Mumford and Sons! The layout for the venue is great, good view of the stage from even the nose bleeds. Plenty of bathrooms and places to get drinks or food.

It's so sad to hear you won't allow a caregiver to attend with a disabled (non seat taking) client. While I do understand that you sell seats, to charge a person double to see a show is unethical and wrong.

Love it. Awesome atmosphere great employees. First time going but they helped me get to where i needed to go.

Where I see my favorite NBA team and always a great place to see a show.

Blazers 2019 NBA PLAYOFFS Quadruple overtime! It was great entertainment with great food and drinks. Great beer selection!

Great event venue! Phenomenal access via public transit!
