Centrylink Arena Review

We've always had a great experience at the CenturyLink Arena. They've also done a lot to support our local schools, which is amazing.

A great event center for downtown Boise. Not a bad seat in the venue.

I go there for the hockey. Good view of the rink, good beer selection, not too expensive concessions

Steelheads hockey is always a fun night out. Good beer, good seats, and running into friends made it a good night.

The service was great the venue was awesome a great place to watch some hockey

Seats on the east side on the arena are the best because you can see the large score board. Hockey games are my favorite and there are specials going on if you go on the right nights.

I was there for a convention.
The venue was very clean, and the acoustics were good.

I've only been here a couple times while visiting from Denver. Definitely a much different environment from the Pepsi Center but this is a great family friendly environment. Go Steelheads!!

Last watched Salt Lake Golden Eagles. Great brought back many memories.

The advitersing here is completely out of control. I hope people read this and realize how rediclous this really is. They need to focus on prices to make the event we pay to see more fun and affordable especially since they are feeding us more advertising gimmicks than 4 dollar hotdogs and 9 dollars beers. We all have to remember this establishment is getting paid for each bit they show us and if I'm going to get products and services shoved down my throat that they're getting paid for I might as well enjoy a beer for 4 dollars instead of 9. They even have vultures coming out of the shadows when you leave clipboard in hand asking what advertisements you remember the best. Stop the madness!

Love going to games here!!! Hockey games, fights always different events going on for the whole family. Seating has plenty of walking room in between sections and it's set up so no matter which seats you have you don't miss out on the action. In the middle above the rink,is giant screens to help show the close up action for those sitting in the top section. My kids never complain about not being able to see what's going on. The price varies but usually extremely affordable with plenty of random deals offered at the box office. Wednesday is $2 beer during Hockey games for Bud Light ONLY. A must experience for every family at least once.

Great Steelhead game. We won. They need to fix their seats.

The arena is cool, seats easy to find. Just wish I could attend a game, when the Steelhead win.

How can it be that you have a show that lasts till 11pm and the concession stands close before 9pm?
How can it be that the AC is not working?
How can it be that they can t sell out - or at least fill seats for the HGT?

Clean place seats are ok the screens are not very good they flicker an the color is whacked the men's bathroom needs some privacy walls you can see right into a stall from the urainal it's very awkward your bumping shoulders with the guy next to you very small bathroom

Seriouly... Boise deserves a better venue. I have been to professional and semi professional sporting events across the country in arenas, stadiums and ball parks and have never been as disappointed as I am with this arena. The seats are horribly cramped and uncomfortable. Took in a hockey game there and the score boards are ancient...the sound system is also terrible. And $9 beers in this facility...come on!! Handicap facilities not adequate...limited elevators access and isle widths are awful. If I could rate lower I would. It was not a good experience and doubt I will attend another event there.

Not a good place to have concerts until they fix the sound for the bands. It's great for basketball and hockey but needs much done for a concert. They offer food inside and there is plenty of room to walk around and not feel so clustered.

Cool, I went to a Steelheads game in the VIP seating area it was fun. SO MANY MEMORY'S OF THE STEELHEADS!

The seats were way too close to the row in front of us. It was so uncomfortable!

very fun. took friends here and we made a skating train by holding on to each other's coats while the person in front suffered the weight of dragging 4 people along

Clean environment, and great shows/events. Staff are always very welcoming and the prices for the most part seem fair. Would definitely visit again .

Ridiculously hot inside the arena. Went to the FS1 UFC fights last night and thought I was going to die of heat stroke. I know it wasnt just me. You could see a lot a people fanning themselves because of the heat. Also, I sat in section 216. There were some sort of cables running from the floor to the ceiling. It was obstructing the view of the octagon. Very disappointed.

Went for a Bible convention, roomy, clean and enjoyable.

Great place to watch the Hockey game. Go early to find decent parking spot. Bring cash for food. Sometimes the credit card machines are down.

MMA fights with grandkids and daughter. Had a splendid time watching, first time for couple of mine. Will come back again soon.

Attended two separate events this summer that were MISERABLE because it was so hot in the arena.
Inexcusable. Figure out your climate control.

There is no access to the upper floors for disabled persons.

Really nice facility for having all sorts of events. I'm here twice a year at least for the JW assembly programs. Great staff and location!

Pretty good acustics. I could actually understand the announcer. Of food and drinks are crazy expensive.

I wouldn't saw the Christian rock band The Newsboys there I was looking forward to this concert however the unbelievable noise that came out into the arena was more than most people could bare I've never had my ears hurt me in my life I never thought of things could be possible but he did it was just unbelievably way too loud little children with their mothers had a race out of there with their kids I don't know what the heck they were thinking

Amazing steelheads game. Great people. Lots of fun and a pretty clean venue for such a big amount of people.

This is a nice use of space and the plaza is just a good all around .

The food was horrible, and overall feel of that arena is shabby.

The ppl running this place are horrible. They were going to allow my bf to propose to me at last nights hockey game. He gave them money and for 3 days prior to the game he kept calling to confirm that it was really going to happen. Everything was going as planned right up to the last second. They took him down to the ice and right before it was supposed to happen my bf was told they had to run their promo instead. I can't even explain how horrible he felt. They literally led him on just to tell him "oh sorry we really can't do this". The amount of work that he had put into it was all for nothing. He thought he was getting the chance of a lifetime, but instead he was crushed. If any of the owners read this you should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves for hiring the kind of people that would do this.

Beer is expensive but that's to be expexted, always a good time!

Can't really complain about much. Couldn't find a drinking fountain and 40 oz of water was $6. Other than that, it's a stadium with lots of amenities. When I want to go to a hockey game, that's the only place I would choose to go. I'll give it five stars if someone shows me that they do in fact have drinking fountains so I don't have to take out a small loan to afford the basic sustainer of life.

Great venue. Great employees, everyone is so helpful and so friendly.

Go Steelheads. Friendly staff and great place to take the kids for a hockey game.

Gabriel Iglesias was funny and awesome. The handicap seats were great, had a clear shot of the stage.

Clean and well organized. Staff is always helpful and happy! I love the steelhead games and conventions held here ! Always a blast

Accessible and clean. Seats have cushioning but little leg room.

If you're looking for a hockey game then you need to visit the CenturyLink Arena and watch the Idaho Steelheads.

During my visit the circus was here, so you can expect more than just hockey games here. Located in Downtown Boise, so you can do some shopping and dinner around the event time here.

A place where they make events of all kinds exhibitions of tattos, arts, sports

Great place for some entertainment! Clean and nice facility. Gets a bit loud at the hockey game but that is to be expected. Went here on a date night with my wife.

first ice hockey match....and did watch Idaho winning.....go boise...

At $160 a seat you guys could have made the fights a little more comfortable... UFC should go to the Idaho center next time. The temperature was ridiculous there, the waitress was so hot and over worked she gave my beers to the wrong people and charged me for it. The bathroom lines were absolutely inappropriate for a show of this magnatude. I bought three floor tickets to UFC and am so disappointed in the venue, that's almost $500 to be extremely uncomfortable... I've waited so long for this and Century link arena ruined it... never again.

Kind and helpful staff. The Steelhead mascot made sure to give a high five to my 7 year old son. Thank you!
