Alltel Review

The actual arena is not very big..I was here for monster jam 2020 and they put on a heck of a show for the room.they had. But let's try to expand the arena area by about double but the monster jam crew was excellent the parking situation worked out very well for me had just a short walk it wasnt over priced by any means. Yall check it out sometime

Concession stands much improved over previous visits.

Always great at verizon. I do wish they had one specific spot for hotel shuttle drop off and pick up. Mainly for concert departures.

Nice sized arena, although seemingly a bit small for our area. Plenty of snack bars, decent restrooms, and typical stadium type seating. Parking is ridiculous, tight and will cost you $10 or more. Not the best area, lock your car and hide valuables.

KISS rocked the house! Verizon's concessions are outrageous. We waited until after & just got McDonald's for food.

We seen Joan Jett and the black hearts and Hart's. The band's were amazing and the energy that was in there was absolutely beautiful. It would not have hurt them to crank the a/c a lot more...lol.

Seriously need traffic control after big events. Took longer to leave the parking lot than the concert. Venue is nice. Felt safe , employees were most accommodating and friendly. Good acoustics.

Great performance at Verizon Arena...Maxwell & Fantasia were excellent!!!

Great venue, parking sucks. Went to a graduation at no charge but to park close to arena they wanted 10 dollars. Had to park close to Riverfront entrance then walk. It was a graduation, not a concert, but I still wouldn't want to pay parking then either, especially for the price you pay for events.

The only quibble I have is with prices of concessions. Everything, including security, bathroom and concessions employees are wonderful, concession prices are way to high. $6.50 for 1 hotdog, $10.00 for a draft beer. $4.00 for water. To much. Everything else is great.

Great venue. Loved the atmosphere and lay out. However, there is little-to-no parking. Be prepared to park a few blocks away (for$10-20+) ..and walk to the venue.

James Taylor and Bonnie Raitt one of the best concert ever. My first time in Verizon Area

Nice arena for concerts and basketball games. Food can be a little pricey. Nice seating though.

Excellent venue offering a variety of high demand entertainment throughout the year.

I pardied hardy. It was pretty sick. Food expensive though. They made my friend throw away her peach crush so I beat them up. I didn't actually beat them up but it was big dumb

Tonight was a great night for my fam at the alltel,Verizon,Simmons arena. My niece got her nursing license. Good times!!! These are the people taking care of us. We are in good hands

Location of the arena is good, traffic in the area can be a bit congested at times. There's sufficient parking, hotels are relatively close. The seating is decent and I think in most arenas you go in now, it's about average. Good atmosphere, always liked Verizon.

We were seated in the nose bleed section, but still had good view of the stage and performers. Someone throw up close by us and they immediately cleaned it up.

Concert was great! Aside from that though, Verizon arena is ok. It could use a bigger smoking deck that's for sure. Overall though, not a bad venue

Concert was awesome. Really enjoyed Alabama and Charlie Daniels Band.

The only reason it didn t get a 5 star is bc of how everyone was stuck outside when a storm blew up before the concert. Doors opened at 530 and at 525 it started storming. At least the security check was kind enough to start checking people through to get us under some cover but they wouldn t open the doors until straight up 530. Not safe to leave a crowd out in high winds, heavy rain and lightning

Great place for a concert. Parking can be a problem unless you arrive early.

Dirty, no rest rooms outside when waiting, no bench or place to sit if arrive early. Old chicken fingers found on floor.

Great venue to watch sporting events or to see a concert. Not a lot of bad seats. You can see from just about any seat.

Very nice arena. Good parking. I really enjoyed the WinterJam show i was there to see, too.

Was fun, had an incredibly rude parking attendant but besides that obnoxious experience, the event I attended was fun!

Not the worst arena to see a concert but the acoustics could be a lot better.

Seen Dagle in concert there, it's an arena, what's to say

The Arena had high security coming thru the front doors, safety is important. They had overflow of smoking issues because they closed two smoking sections down. The food and beer is cheap tasting and very expensive. Cost $15 for a Coors beer and a Dr. Pepper. We had floor tickets and there was no chairs around to sit and relax between bands playing. It would be smarter to get a seat on the left or right side of the stage close to the floor about third row middle of that section for a up close view and best hearing of music..

We went to see Hall and Oates and the event staff was great, security and parking was easy

They had a few vendors that sold popcorn, glazed nuts, and really tasty hot dogs for the multiple graduations we attended there this year. I didn't know why they wouldn't let us bring in our opened gifts, but after the school shootings...I understand. You cannot go to the lower bowl of the arena at all before graduation ceremonies (there is absolutely no floor access). They used the jumbo-tron at all of the events we attended.
BTW...the seats have no cup holders.

I don't like how the seating is set up. There is no room for much of anything. You have to stand up to let people by and there was no place to put your drinks or anything.

We went to see the Marvel live Universe and it is awesome

Good mid sized venue. Make sure to call an uber/lyft ahead of time before departure. It could get very pricey if you wait to the last minute.

Good venue for Garth Brooks and other live music. Relatively smaller arena. Easy to get good seats at an awesome price. we regularly drive over from memphis to see events.

Two visits, to see the Globetrotters and then Cirque de Soleil. Fun times, clean restrooms, plenty of things to eat. Great for the kids. I'm going to guess that your experience here will depend on what you're here to see and what the crowd is.

Small little arena in little Rock good for concerts, sporting events and other events

Went to Eric Church months ago, and it was a mess. Paid for Miller Room, but didn't have private bathroom access or smoking area as we had previously (actually it was cordoned off completely). Power-tripping staff in VIP areas absolutely killed the whole concert (not to mention Eric Church wasn't near as good this time around). I literally walked past a staff individual and walked right back past her within a minute. I lifted my arm to show her my wristband, however as I walked past her she began yelling at me and making a scene. So, as I, of course, responded with equal disdain, she begins with threatening to call security. No one deserves to be talked to and yelled at that way!

Lastly, the Miller Room was pointless for $50. Pouring half cold 12 oz cans into a 8 oz glass and serving it for $6 was more blantant thievery than the other standard access concessions. I assure you me and mine will NEVER be back.

Was quick and easy to get in. Food lines little long but was quick

Bad acoustics, EXPENSIVE beer, long lines everywhere including the bathroom, not worth the price

Cramped seats. Been to arenas with spacious seating. Hard on older patrons.

Great venue for all events. Have seen several concerts, circus, moster trucks, Cirque, etc...here. Not really a bad seat in the place. Parking and traffic is never too bad compared to larger cities. Always a good presence of law enforcement and security.

Went there for my son's gradaution. I dont like their rule of you can't come back in if you go outside. Verizon Arena is okay other than that.

Well kept and clean, props to the maintenance and staff!

Central Arkansas' local venue for anything entertainment related. Parking is not always great and it is not the newest facility...but it is still a very nice venue and great for catching some exciting performances.

Great environment and friendly staff. Seen many shows here and will definitely be back for more!

Its an good place. Went to my niece graduation didn't like that fact we had to stand outside so long in the sun.. But the place over all love it.

I drove TEN HOURS to see Tim McGraw and the concert was cancelled. I was SO MAD!! I had been to 3 other concerts and paid a still price 400-500 dollars. I got these tickets through the fan club for $242. We were notified LAST MINUTE!!

I have been to several shows at the Verizon arena and all shows have been great the venue is nice and secure only reason rated a 3 because parking is always full and cost $10-20 and it's a long walk in heels also if you get floor seats they connected and if the person next to you has any meat on there bones its very uncomfortable I think after this last show I'm done with floor seats

Lots of parking around the arena. Plenty of security. Smooth entry. Should be able to see the venue from any seats
