First Bank Center Review

Parking and entry in to the venue appear to have been an after-thought for the designer. Plan for extra, extra time before going to any event.

It's a very nice facility minus the kids video games which make it sound like the Vegas airport.

Great arena, very clean and spacious. Friendly event staff.

Easy to find, free parking, acoustics were great, seats were easy to locate and comfortable and the view was good.

First time at this place. Was at Breaking Benjamin concert. AWESOME! Great atmosphere and a great location, 20 minutes away from Denver, next to a highway, takes less stress to get out once everyone is leaving. Venues are a bit little overpriced tho, but compare to other places, its better.

Its a little herd to figure out where to park and parking is a little farther than usual but other than that its great

Great place for senior class graduation. Arvada West!!!!!!

Far more convenient to move around between sections within the arena than in most venues. Touts parking on its website but the parking within reasonable walk is actually quite limited. It's nice that they have the water bottle filling station but only having one of those with the only set of water fountains right there with it not only means everyone from the entire stadium has to go to one point but also that the lines for filling bottles and for using the fountains overlap. Someone got lazy and wanted to run only one plumbing pipe for potable water, and patrons have the headache of it.

Suite Seats are fabulous! The concessions need to be better staffed & concessions pricing needs to be better. The Kings of Leon concert was fabulous tough. Great view. Sound was superb!

Great event center. Very clean and organized. Secure as well.

Arrive early to deal with the parking. Event was was well organized, not on time but not too far off, plenty of washrooms, food, and staff available to help direct.

Went there for Zomboy concert. Best sound I've ever heard in an arena like that

Such a great show! Great venue, and local to Broomfield residents!

Sound isn't anything special but size is great and the acts that come through are excellent.

Saw Impractical Jokers at 1stBank Center. Such a great time, such a funny show, such a great venue!

AWESOME SHOW String Cheese New Years Eve 2014 !! Thanks to Bro Will who too is still out there doin it!

This is a horrible venue due to the staff. I went to Jim GAffigan and there was a line at least a mile long due to the staff. We got in finally and Jim was already on stage. I feel horrible for the line of people behind us that most likely missed the whole show. When I asked where my seats where, which were front row on the floor, the attendant said, "oh everything is set up wrong and people have been sitting where ever they want". Great, glad I spent close to $400 for seats and barely got seated in time for the show. Then when we left all the attendants had left and we sat in the parking lot for an hour trying to leave.

Great for shows!! Really good sound. Definitely recommend if there's an artist you like that's gonna play here.

Had a great time here. Wish our places served food and sold water and drinks all around on the floor during the show.

Good venue to see a show but traffic control needs help

This place is not transgender friendly at all. The security needs to be trained on antidiscrimination laws. If you're a trans person be prepared to be followed into the restroom and questioned as soon as you exit the stall.

Not the biggest or most modern, but is nice size for concert venue. Sound is good as well and love cup holders for drinks.

I think your experience there depends on who you see. I saw excision's Paradox tour for both days and I loved it so much. The bus stop is close. Although, $4.50 for a bottle of cold water??! Come on. You can't even get water from the restroom unless you're okay with hot water. And the only set of fountains there always have a long line. I think the staff are good at their job when they want to do it. All in all, great place to have a good show of you can handle it.

Great venue. Big but not too big. High quality sound. Clean bathrooms and cheap drinks

This place is great for a small venue. And live concerts. Easy to get in and out of the place and I think it's a beautiful place.

Went to see the Killers and the show was AMAZING. This venue is very comfortable and I managed to get merch very quickly. The staff were very nice and I had a great time. I would definitely come to another show here.

Awful planning for an 'event' center. Parking could not have been worse - it is as if they had never held an event before, and were completely unable to handle the amount of vehicles/people. They continued to send cars into the parking garage, which was full, resulting in an even longer delay!! I will never attend a large event here again - ruined the night before it had a chance to start.

Nice place. Big enough but too big. Easy to get around.

I give it a five stars just because I work around there and do work around there like the brand new pathway

Lot of room to walk around and the center is perfect for any artists and guests. Overpriced food and all that but what can you say. Great venue

My nephew graduated with HONORS. Very surprised how well the Center had it organized in & out. Wasn't happy parking was 2 blocks away. You'ld figure they have events there all the time. Make the lot accordingly!

Good area for a large conference. Performed in the hockey arena. Unfortunately I only saw 1 bathroom on the south side aspect. Had to wait in line for 20-30 minutes. Could maybe use a larger bathroom.

Not a great venue to see live music at all. It may be okay for sporting events, but the seating and facilities do not translate well for a concert at all. The seats are tightly crammed, and the views can be awful. The drink selection is crazy overpriced and limited to corporate brands, which is totally inexcusable in Colorado these days. Unless it s an artist you just can t miss, I would skip shows at this venue.

the venue is really nice. they have music and a sitting area outside and shops to eat and a centralized RTD bus stop for major bus routes and a parking garage if you drive yourself.

Randomly cancelled bassnectar hours before show started. Trash venue.

Went here twice for a couple of graduations. It's in a good location from the highway and I appreciate the smaller venue. It's located amongst a neighborhood of apartment buildings once you get off the highway. It's easy to get around in it and locate family and friends. My only issue is the parking. You have to park a few blocks away in a garage, then it takes forever to get out of it. At least the parking is free, though. Overall, this place is really nice, compared to the big stadiums.

The venue changed seating the day of the event. I was not able to enter the floor. 1st Bank did not answer my email after event. I won't be returning.

Very nice venue for a graduation!! Plenty of seating, suites & bathrooms!! Personnel was extremely friendly & helpful!! I would've given 5 stars, but parking, entering & exiting was a complete nightmare.

Love this venue and location. The businesses surrounding the venue really complete the experience.

3 docks with levelers and a drive up ramp. 50' low steel. 800a SR & SL w/ 2- 400a & 2-200a disconnects ea. Large staging area & many dressing rooms.

Fun venue for concerts, way closer to home and a better experience than most in my opinion.

I've been here a few times, each time for very different things and each time was great!

The layout of this development is lacking and confusing

went for bassnectar and had to much fun though some more air circulation would be cool.

Saw R.L. Grime here and it was amazing the lanterns are really dope

Free parking for events barely a block away. Now that's something nice and very rare. Drinks and merchandise are pricy but that's to be expected. At least the parking was free.

KORN killed it but the sound was hoorrible I could barely hear Jonathan and the guitars.

This is the best place I've ever seen. It's going to get good than I ever thought!!!!! XD

Liked my experience here. This is a great concert arena!

Decent venue for large concerts, the sound isn't exceptional and drinks are pricey.

Wasn't instructed where to go. Spent a good amount of time waiting. Not terrible though. If you have floor GA you can get pretty close.

Very large place. Multiple arenas. Concerts and shows on ice.

Great venue it was huge and had a great time staff was very kind

Please install a chimney and/or a better ventilation system. Marijuana smoke does not bother me, but the last time I went, my contacts started burning about an hour into the show. You could barely see inside the arena area and it was pretty hazy around the edge of the stadium.
