The Allen Event Center was a super fun experience. Last night was my first hockey game. Luckily I have two rad parents who were willing to take their eldest son. The event center was clean, top notch, and easy to navigate. If you are looking for a venue to being your family and or rowdy friends this is the place.
We were looking for a fun event for the family without going crazy on the cost and we found it. We aren't even a hockey family but loved every minute. Exciting game and fun, interactive timeouts. The atmosphere was great and covid precautions were steller. We look forward to the next chance to watch another game! Go Allen Americans!
I ve purchased quite a few items in the store and almost every time I do the staff is not very customer oriented and they have actually been rude at times! Furthermore, they run out of items very fast and it s very difficult to get what you re looking for!
I was having a great time until I was singled out multiple times by the people who work at the event center. I recorded a song not knowing recording wasn t allowed. Was told by one of them to stop recording. Now mind you there wasn t any announcements or signage anyone saw about not recording. And I was confused because you could CLEARLY see dozens of people around me doing the same but they weren t told to stop. However, I said okay and moved on to pictures. The same woman working there comes within an inch of me and tells me to stop recording again about 15 minutes later. I wasn t recording! I was taking pictures. She said I couldn t take pictures, meanwhile everyone around me was blatantly recording or taking photos. I got upset and went to talk to another worker. She said the same thing, but when I pointed around and she could see everyone else using their phone cameras, she said I could take pictures but not with flash. I never used the flash. I was stopped again back at my seat once a half hour went by by the male worker who was standing next to the same female worker that was harassing me. (Btw, she was staring at me for most of the show) and he said to stop recording And asked to see my phone! I wasn t about to do that, and he said it was the way I was holding my phone! Literally a lady sitting like 6 seats down from me on the front row was blatantly recording a full set. Later she told me she worked security at at&t stadium and if there is no announcement, they can t enforce it. That she was waiting for them to say something to her. But they never did. I felt watched for most of the show. The music was great though.
After a year of not being allowed to be in large crowds, the Princeton High School graduation was a huge step toward normalcy. The staff at the Allen Event Center handled the crowd and the situation admirably. Congratulation to my wonderful niece, Haylie Golden, and nephew, Jayce Harrod, as well as the entire 2021 Princeton High graduating class.
First time at the venue. Overall worked nicely. Staff was polite and helpful. Parking wasn't bad once I figured out the lot was full and used the garage. Not sure if that's typical and if you're not early just head to the garage. Either way it was generally easy in, easy out.
Went to a concert here - first time to visit. The venue was only set up for half the arena and it wasn't very full, but I liked it a lot - I could almost see the musicians faces. However, since I'm used to huge arenas, I was missing the screens actually showing the musicians up close - maybe they do that at other events, but not this particular concert.
This place was wide open to hold lots of people. The only downside was the sounds system was too low and at times not able to understand the people talking. It was not clear. This is the 2nd time I've been there and the sound system was not very good either time!
This place is great thier isn't a bad seat anywhere. I have sat down near the ice, up at the top, and in the middle. I prefer middle. And the allen Americans are a top notch team.
Took the family to a concert here and it was pretty good. The venue is not the best but we did have fun. There is some parking issues in my opinion since it is in a crowded retail area that all has signs stated you can't park there unless you are there to shop, etc. So, you have to park in around the corner. It is laid out well and has an okay sound system. It does have a slightly musty smell, but that could be that we were going to a concert shortly after if just opened back up from this whole pandemic shutdown. Either way, good place to go and see a concert.
