Jobing.Com Arena - Phoenix Coyotes - National Hockey League Reviews

Well maintained and very clean. Prices are what you expect from a sporting venue. I've sat all over and there isn't a bad seat in the upper or lower bowl.

Beside the exorbitant cost a parking $25 the experience was Grand we saw Trans-Siberian Orchestra and loved every single moment of it. The event was well organized and the lines moved incredibly quickly it was great to see the security was ramped up in the event of all the crazy things that happen in this world. The four of us had an amazing adventure and one of missed it for the world overall 5 + + + five star experience

Love the Coyotes and the place. Had lots of fun going there for a game!

There really isn't a bad seat in the house. Food is good. GO COYOTES!!

So I have attended 3 concerts here. Not a hockey fan so no coyotes game ever. But for concerts, it's amazing. Great audio, loud and great placement of speakers to add ambience. Hopefully artists make use of that. I've watched Judas priest, Queen and Tool here and Tool definitely understood how to make use of that "surround sound". Easy to get in and out of, clean and comfortable seats. Great place for a concert.

Great venue. Hockey games and concerts. Huge police presence during events. Validated parking. Nice arena. Lots of shopping around the venue. They also have a hotel.

Needs more food vendors. Cheaper food too! Price gouge. Hockey was awesome though!

This place, where do I start? Well the atmoshpere here is very lively and fun. The food stands are very amazing, good in taste. (Background) I was on a FBLA trip and got to talk to the people that run the stadium and arizona coyotes organization a quote from one of them. "we care very much about one thing only ... You the fans.. without you we would have no team". When you come here they welcomed by your presence. Very professional people take care of this place, it shows !

Best medium sized venue around to see Amazing shows. Clean, easy to navigate and staff are always super friendly. LOVE it being on the West side!

Really nice Arena. Been here tons of time for Hockey games. Great selection of places to eat. Nice seating with friendly fans. Employees are always nice and welcoming. The area around the arena has shopping and restaurants. Great arena in a great area. Go Yotes!

Cleveland hockey games but I've also been there for concerts and other events

Had a very good time and the seats were great. Really enjoyed the whole experience.

It's a stadium for events and hockey games. Of course it will be cold inside for hockey games and crowded parking. What do others expect for events?

I would never watch another game at this arena. My wife and I were racially profiled by security upon entering this arena. We made a complaint at guess service but then we just got yelled at by Andrea Evans from security management. She didn t even want to take my complaint. Use to be a season holder never again will I waste my money on this team.

Such a fun place to be in, the staff is incredibly nice, and my concert experience there was phenomenal I saw Justin Bieber there 7 months ago. I love this place so much. Seating is 10/10. Trust me you'll love this place once you step foot in. I know I did.

Awesome venue! Super awesome for hockey season! Go Coyotes!!

Great place for concerts and ice hockey. Food and drinks are of course expensive but what sports area is not? Most staff is friendly.

Gila River Arena has all the amenities of any other arena, but keeps a closer community feel. Would be happy to go to a concert or hockey game here again. Superb work from the friendly staff too.

I really enjoy watching my Phoenix Coyotes play here. This is the perfect place for hockey. Let's go COYOTES!

I have never been before until last night for the Kelly Clarkson concert. She was amazing btw....but it was easy to park and to leave. The traffic was well directed. I liked that there was more than one entrance to enter and leave. That made the traffic flow easier.
Also, there are a lot of places to choose from go eat. All styles of food to meet your taste buds. The only thing I had a hard time swallowing was the price of parking. It was $25.

Horrible parking conditions during the Trans Siberian Orchestra event. Took 1.5 hours to park to be exact, and missed part of the show due to this.
When contacting the arena their response was "Blame the Cardinals" they took our parking lots.
Not even remotely helpful. If you are unable to serve your clients, then don't have events there!
The appropriate response would be to offer a refund due to lack of service availability. But ofcourse, according to the Box Office, that was someone elses "fault" too, was told that would fall on Ticketmaster, which ofcourse is ridiculous considering that Ticketmaster had nothing to do with not being able to provide parking for their customers, that was ALL on Gila River Arena.
Horrible business, will stay clear of Gila River Arena in the future and will make sure others know about it as well.

The drive wasn't to bad and the experience was awesome

The facility was clean and you can see center from most everywhere. The entertainment outside of the facility is very nice and convenient.

The seats are way to small. That is my only complaint other then that had fun

My husband and I attended a ASU hockey game - our first and we had a ball! The attendants were helpful, the suite was nice, clean and managed. Gila River was a cool venue, in terms of location. Had we moot eaten in the suite, its a nice locating for a bite to eat and bars, too.

Great arena! Had awesome seats for Penguins Coyotes game.

Love my Coyotes!!!! I think the complex and arena are well thought out. My only hesitation is the food vendors and how little variety they offer. I understand about sponsored product, contracts and marketing but my taste buds and tummy does not. To say they are overpriced is a statement that is wasted since there are the same prices no matter which venue you frequent. Iso like that the arena is located in a location that has always been easy in and easy out for me. Very handy to be just off the freeway which makes it convenient to get to from just about anywhere in the valley.

Nice rink, they do keep it chilly inside. Long lines to get a beer during intermission. Liked the two way escalators to move people in and out of the arena.

The staff went above and beyond all expectations. Spectacular! Thank you so much!

Always a fun place. If you can't find something to eat here, you're not hungry enough!

The reason of one star is because I had to go back to the car to leave my wife's purse because they classified her purse like a backpack , and after we get inside we had 3-4 -5 and 6 seats and the person who supposedly help you to seat didn't tell us to go the closer side to our seats so we crossed on people starting in seat number 14 to go to #3

Great service people good views to see a hockey game easy parking
Too far from East valley for a midweek game

Great place to see a game! Clean, great sightlines, excellent amenities

Easy to get there. Easy to park. Yummy food; i had Poke Bowl. Coyotes WON! GO YOTES!

Visited with family for CO Avs vs Coyotes and Calgary Flames vs Coyotes games. We had lots of fun! Seats were fine, typical sporting venue. Food was also fine. We really liked the art and displays both inside and outside. We hope to return again.

Great arena but stairs in upper section very steep.

Definitely one of the best arenas for watching a hockey game and live music. The sound is great and the seats are well done for all types of events. The concessions are pretty good too.

Far from phoenix and a little outdated but still hada great time at the game.

There is literally not a bad seat in the arena, for watching sports. Their new jumbotron is a big improvement, watching the Coyotes play here is always a good time.

TSO was great, as usual. Traffic control was great at the end of the concert!

They never disappoint. Wheater you are watching a hockey game or a concert. From the parking to guest services. They are all top notch. Give it a try.

It's a decent place to watch a a game. It's clean enough, the seats are not bad, and the giant monitors make seeing replays easy.

There are a couple of massive issues. 1st is the parking. If there is an event at the stadium next door, the parking turns into a nightmare situation. It was straight up AWFUL when we last went and ran into a duel event evening.

Second is the pricing for food and drinks. It's so high they are walking money out the door. I'm not kidding when I say that someone offered to buy me a beer, but I refused to even let them pay that much. You can honestly go to the Yard House, who is very expensive, and pay half as much, for better quality. That's exactly what happened too. Instead of having one average beer in the stadium, I had two good ones after.

I know it's a stadium and they are going to mark stuff up, but not even Disney marks up as much as this place. That's insane.

Good viewing the game not much on the upper level friendly staff

The Hockey game was fun! The stadium is really nice, had an excellent first time experience. Great location if you want to enjoy the bars after the game too!

Awesome experience got to walk with disturbed to the stage

I went to the Desert Hockey Classic on Sunday, January 10th.

Awesome to see a college hockey tournament here in the Valley, level of competition was excellent. How Gila River Arena handled the games, especially on Sunday, was awful at best. On Sunday they had very limited options for seating aside from your ticketed seat as well as food and beverages, and did not have the Terrace Bar open as an option between games. After being handed a thermal printed ticket when my phone was scanned for initial entry, and being told that it was for reentry, when we attempted to go out and get something more substantial than pretzel bites and nachos, we were told that leaving the arena meant we would have to purchase new tickets to see the second game.

I'm not a college kid anymore. If I am spending six hours at a hockey tournament, I want to be able to eat something that isn't an $8 hot dog and wash it down with something that is not 20 ounces of flat, warm, $11 beer. It would also be nice to have a chance to take in some other sporting events that are going on that day since there was an hour of down time between the two games.

I get that the venue doesn't want me leaving, they want my money, it's the same reason you can't bring your own food or beverage in, but locking me in a building with gas station cuisine and poorly managed beer is pretty insulting and then to tell me I can't go give money to someone who will at least try to earn it is reprehensible.

If you get section 226, make sure its seats 18 or lower otherwise its blocked view like we had. The two pics i took were me leaning to the right..

This arena has some awesome hockey. It would be nice to see the coyotes win a game.

Lookout as there is free parking but not very well clear where.

The stadium seats are Horrible!!! Especially if your here with a disabled person..had him get handicapped seating..much better!! The slope on the seats are not for Anyone with height issues!!! It's not safe!!!
