AEG/Rose Garden Arena Reviews

Great venue. Have taken my kids to a few concerts here and have each been a great experience. Clean, decent restrooms and the seats are actually not uncomfortable. Food is pricey so eat first...

Over priced drinks and food. Most specialty food is closed for events that aren't Blazers games.

Moda needs to require all concerts to have seating in the pit/floor seats/GA. Attendees were shoving eachother, and lieing to other attendees to get to the front of the pit. P!ATD was able to do it, why not TOP? Attendees were overheating and fainting.

I'm not from Portland area just recently moved up here in January, but the motor center is awesome. I also worked for the Moda center and security and great beautiful wonderful friendly staff

Always helpful staff no matter the events we have been to. Concerts to monster jam good times to be had

I love it. We saw carry Underwood and it was AMAZING!!!!!! The seats are not comfy tho, and they're super tight on people who have booties haha

I am rating it a 3 of 5 mainly due to lack of parking. The area is too tight to hold two arenas that hold events at the same time. I was coming from Battle Ground, WA and prefer to drive my own car. All parking structures were full at 6:15. There are far fewer street lots than there used to be. We procured the final spot in a lot about 5 blocks away.
The inside of the venue was fine albeit a tight fit for your legs in the 200 section. I also noticed the smell of cigarettes and cigars periodically throughout the event I was attending.

Clean, decent selection of food venues, easy to get around, wheel chair friendly and located near a Max train station. The stadium isn't over sized (even for a nose bleed seat your still in the action). The staff were helpful and friendly, cameras are welcomed at games and concerts.

We attended the Monster Jam Triple Threat series. The show itself was awesome as always. My complaints are the same as always: parking was $17 and our pizza was $35.

Great arena. Wether you're watching a blazer game, bull riding, a hockey game, or Disney on ice the atmosphere is always amazing. Parking could be better, but the staff it's always friendly.

There is no such thing as a bad seat. Sound of the concert was amazing. I didnt realize that multiple events can happen at the same time here

Liked the name better as the rose garden. But I guess roses had a hard time paying the ever increasing sky high fee it must be to place your name on a building. Sad really, roses never had a chance, they can t work, make money, they re roses. How did they even get the naming rights to begin with? Must have been a deal brokered with Lewis and Clark in the good old days... alright Louie, we ll let you and your traveling companion her pass without getting our thorns into you in exchange for initial naming rights on this thing called a basketball arena that will happen in 200 years.

The Moda center is awesome!! It's huge pretty. Impressive. Just a little spendy.

Nice arena. It has everything you need. Food, bathrooms, handicap accessible, events. A little spendy but if you are on a date worth it. Right next to the Trimet Max Lines. Saw Bernie Sanders here. Building has lights that change color at night.

Good sporting venue. Great for the home team, not so much for the away team. Kinda like it's supposed to be, right?

I saw the Chris Tomlin concert here and absolutely loved it. As our major arena, it was once called "The Rose Garden" ( some of us still call it that).The architecture was developed to resemble a rose. Prices for snacks and drinks are a good reflection of the corporate greed that afflicts society. My suggestion...have a nice meal before coming .

I went to a game at the Staples Center while on a trip to L.A. recently and compared to that arena, the Moda Center is very modern, clean, and has a good flow to the layout. The only thing I liked better at the Staples Center were the seats which were wider. The seats at Moda are so cramped! I'm tiny and I feel cramped; I can only imagine what it'd be like for a 6' tall dude. But other than that, Moda is cool.

As always, parking is a nightmare, food is expensive and staff is ubiquitous. Entertainment is always good. Can't slight Moda for poor behavior of people but they really need to monitor people for how drunk they get.. sitting next to someone who is slurring their words and can't navigate the stairs is a bit scary. Watching drunk housewives bully teenagers.. that's my 2c

Cool show. They should close the doors at showtime. Had to deal with people and there flashlights trying to find their seats. Ruined the show at times.

Went to see WWE and it was my first time seeing wrestling. It was better than i expected.

Blake Shelton was awsum!!!
Like the winterhawks game too!

Good show I've now seen metalica. Don't need to see them again. Nope prefer blistered Earth cover band

Seems to be a good location for shoes and what not. A little upset that they wouldn't allow my camera bag which is set up like a back pack into the venue even though it was within the dimensions they would allow. They also didn't allow my Nikon camera in which again was a disapointment. Only thing saving the venue is the group I am seeing.

Always a great time at the RG watching the Blazers. I have been coming here since it opened its doors. Multiple events from concerts, rodeo and sporting events. I love that they have brought in local companies for food and drink options. I hear price complaints alot...... I personally dont get it..... it has always been more expensive to eat at ANY venue no matter where you go.

Arrive early, bring money for parking. $20-30. Great atmosphere to watch a game. Kid friendly.

Had a blast from my past while hanging tough with nkotb

The blazers game was amazing and everyone was super helpful

I have been to the mods center for several events. My only complaint is 5 dollars water. All sports events I have seen have been well attended. They viewing is great on all levels. Even the "nose bleed" seats have a good view of the action. I recommend this location for entertainment.

This was a pretty cool Mall. Nice ice ring. And the food court has a good variety

Love watching games here. Four stars for cleanliness and great staff. Was concerned about alcohol service after yesterday's game though. One guy in front of us threw up and the rest in his party were heavily intoxicated. Not sure why they were allowed to continue to purchase drinks. It was clearly an issue with over service. They were not the only ones I saw stumbling around the stadium.

Prices for drinks is ridiculous! 5$ for a bottle of water that they open and pour in a cup.. wont let you have the bottle for some reason... everything is ridiculously overpriced!

Peanut Butter and Pickle burger hit the SPOT. KILLER BURGER. PLUS THE Blazers won with Lilard getting FIFTY points. PDX Orygun

Great saw my first play off game!!! Drinks are spendy

Seating is tight & everything is overpriced as all venues are but, love going to see Blazers, concerts, shows, & Winterhawks regardless.!

Great place but traffic leaving is a problem. Eateries inside are not open until just before concert starts. If you want to eat dinner before concert within walking distance, you don't have many choices.

It is a great place ! I am very impressed in how they all got things done fast and everything comes together!

I want to start off by saying that I really enjoy the acts that they book, and that my real issue was probably my fault. Last month I was planning on seeing a concert. However, I spent almost an hour trying to find a place to park. At that point, the concert had already begun and I was having a panic attack from being lost in Portland by myself. So, in the end, I wasted the money for the ticket and my time and effort getting to Portland just to have a panic attack and go home.

I've been there twice it's awesome great venue great staff

Very crowded. Over priced everything!!! Seats way to tight.

What a spectacular building! Especially beautiful at night. We were here for a basketball game and it was a great experience. We sat in some of the higher seats but could still see well. My only complaint is the prices. Tickets to the game, food and drinks were all crazy prices. But it must work because the place was packed. I would certainly recommend this venue.

Portland Trailblazer game. They won, so of course it was great!

Love this place. So many wonderful memories! I don't recommend the basic seating. But if you can afford the glass rooms with the amenities! It's much more cozy & relaxing. Love the seating options

We had lots of fun at a Blazers game and everything went great!

Great! Love being the "i" in the RIP CITY sign. Beautiful!

Was here for a WWE NXT event. Great venue and comfortable seats. Was fast to get it in. Only small grip is there wasn't that many food/drink stations opened. It seemed like every other one was closed. Other than that it was good experience

Absolutely love this arena when I get the chance to visit it for Blazer games. The management has done a tremendous job bringing in quality food options and all the staff enjoys their jobs which adds to the overall experience of the games which are always great. Go Blazers

It's the big house for concerts, and the home of the Portland Trailblazers. Yay for concerts, and attached parking garages! Spendy for food and drinks, smoking area outdoors, and always a circus to get out after the event. Still the biggest hall in Portland.

Iron Maiden was excellent, especially in the sky box.

Seen many concerts here it's a great venue all around. So big but yet the concert still feels close. Sports venues are fantastic too

Awesome Judas priest concert !!! I would go again but get better seats .

State of the art arena, clean, friendly, everyone who works there is so helpful with any needs or direction you may have from the ushers to the parking garage people. Great venue!!

Panic! At the Disco show was awesome! However, they turned most of the men's restrooms into "women's" restrooms when the men's only have 4 stalls in them anyway.. making the men that did come to see the show have to SEARCH for the one bathroom. Really disappointed.

LOVE Our BLAZERS, This game was great, cause we beat the Lakers,lol

Great arena. However, on October 19 last year (2017) when me and my mom went there to see the new Disney on Ice show, we wasted the whole waiting time for the show to start because of looking for our seats. We thought they were on the main floor, but they were actually on the top floor. We missed a few minutes of the show because of this, even though I peeked through the curtains to watch a few seconds a of the show a few times so I wouldn't miss any of it.

Good venue. Can see well from just about anywhere in the arena. Well maintained still looks and feels newer. Good food and drink selection.

Great place to see a basketball game. Third time at moda now and every time has been really fun. First time was 300 level and was quite good, especially for the price. Second time we got scalper tickets on a whim and ended up getting super deal on lower 100 level, behind the blazers bench. Amazing time. This time we booked 200 level and had a great view. Seems the whole place is a great venue for blazers games.

Great fans and great show put on by the blazers organization.

Parking attendant directed me directly into a post, signaling me to move forward with his hands, now the Moda Center and impark are refusing to accept responsibility. See you in Small Claims court. This after a friend hosting a Suite for a Blazer game. Shameful Blazers, Moda, and IMPARK. You Suck!

Kids and I had a great time at our first blazers game!

Its a pretty amazing facility! Its to bad everything is so costly though. City should give a break on parking, its outrageous. Venders charging 58$ for 4 beers is flabbergasting to say the least. The events at this venue though are great!

Went to IRON MAIDEN- Stiff drinks & had plenty to smoke.

Nice venue if you're ambulatory, but if someone in your party is in a wheelchair it's tricky to figure out how to get into the venue and to the correct entrance from the garage. Directions /signs were unclear or even incorrect. I do like that many of the food booths are nonprofit fundraisers, that's brilliant!

Moda Center AKA The Rose Garden Arena is a great venue. Blazer games are great. Obviously tickets are getting more expensive as the years go by. If you buy a club level ticket it comes with a $30 voucher per ticket. This means anything in the arena you have a $30 credit (beer, food, merchandise, anything!). This includes purchased from ticket resale sites!

Eagles concert was such a great experience with my mom. Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Vince Gill & Glen frys son were awesome.

The Moda center is the only big auditorium in Portland and this is where majority of the big events take place. This is where the beloved by Portland but so great team the Trailblazers play

It's a great stadium with easy parking and not to complicated to find where you're going. Its not nearly as big as some places, but it's a great place. GO HAWKS!

We enjoyed the Disney on Ice. The food and drink prices are very high.

Did you know the Moda Center has a Nursing Mothers' Room? It's FANTASTIC. Changing station, "quiet" (relative to the Blazer's game happening on the other side of the wall), private, with great toys and just some comfy floor space to help my little guy through his first Blazer's game. It's a gem. Hidden behind Guest Services on the first floor.

Blazer games are a nice experience for all ages. They are polite and courtious beers are a bit expensive

Stale popcorn overpriced. Other than was a tad disappointed in the Disney on ice.

Had a great time watching some basketball here. As with any pro event parking was a little rough but could have been worse and was not unexpected. The section we were in had some fun games for kiddos to play at no extra cost and a penny souvenir machine. We were fans of the visiting and other than people probably being a little annoyed by us the fans were never rude. All in all we sat in the nose bleeds and had a lot of fun as family.

I ve attended many events of all types here an have always had a great time. Even when the Blazers lose. The staff is well managed.

This Venue is great. Not a bad seat in the place, ample restrooms and parking. Quick getting in and out. Very clean facility.

Amazing venue for any genre of music. Excellent food vendor choices, great clean seats, no view is a bad view.
