The Lexington Center and Rupp Arena Review

Cats games at their best, shopping mall inside and also connected to Heritage Hall for gun shows, sport boat and RV shows etc.

Love my WILDCATS !!RUPP ARENA IS AWESOME ! MY FAVORITE TEAM EVER ! YOU GET ACHANCE TO GO YOU WILL LOVE IT VERY COURTEOUS PEOLE !!

Great place for meetings and conferences. Come visit Lexington, we are a nice bunch, y'all

Graduation was hectic. Staff very mindful to be handicapped friendly.

Good place to go and watch basketball games and other events.

It was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend catching a game.

Facility is nice and easy to navigate, but parking is expensive.

This is a nice place for special events like the banquet we went to today.

Horrible experience. I gave it a 2 star since it wasn't their fault the main band couldn't make it. Still completely dead though. Done with arena and event center concerts.

Saw The Eagles there recently and will be there Saturday (12-8-18) to see Snoop Dogg with Bone Thugs and Harmony. Seen many concerts there. Parking all around, easy access including handicap ramps and special viewing areas

Comfy seats not a lot of leg room but the security keeps things in order knowbody standing up excellent place

Rupp is buzzing with excitement! Great atmosphere for any event.

I love all the events that happen here. It's such a nice place .

Easy in. Park close to entrance. Watch the CATS!

It was awesome for being mine and my husbands first UK Wildcats basketball game and to be on new years eve ....

Had a great time at the air 1 positive hits tour. Would recommend this venue, for sure!

Went to see Miranda Lambert. It was very easy in get in and navigate around. Lines were long but moved very fast! Awesome place to come see a concert. Hope to come back again :)

Love my Cats. Wish those bleachers were better seats with a back. After a game my back is soar

Not the worst large concert venue I've been to, but could use some upgrades. Stage seems small. Screens seem small. Higher seats are bench style and it's almost impossible to move. Overall just mediocre venue.

Nice venue!
I've been to this venue a couple times each time very impressed by how clean it is. The prices here are very reasonable the draft beer was $8.25. In the wait times was pretty nice.
The boys has very good sound quality somehow our phones were able to pick up pretty good videos. The staff is very helpful and seem nice.
Parking is pretty easy as well each time I've been I've parked away from the arena with ease.

I mean it s sort of like the Garden of the Gods for college basketball. Since the new renovations even the upper arena is a fantastic experience.

Chair backs on the seats in the upper arena have not only made it a more pleasurable place to sit, the Jumbotron in the center court and the large screens in all four corners of the arena insure you don t miss any action or instant replays.

There seems to be more legroom in the upper level since the installation of the chair backs on the seats. More updates are coming to arena including suites which will gobble up more seating in the arena.

I do wish the students were allotted seats all along the floor where the current fold out chairs are now. Look at Auburn. Look at Michigan State. Look at all the other places where the STUDENTS sit next to the court. It makes for a much better environment than the wine and cheese blue hairs in Rupp.

But that s not Rupp s fault. It s on the University of Kentucky s athletic department. No wonder the students don t want to come to games. They don t make it easy to get tickets and then they stuff them in the end zone and corners.

Have we forgotten as fans that this is THEIR school?

Anyway, it is what it is. The average age of the fan has to be over 55. A recent trip to Phog Allen Fieldhouse I became aware of just how geriatric KY basketball games are. The average age at Kansas had to be sub 35 with tons and tons of young fans and kids.

It was LOUD and EVERYONE was on their feet!

Something has to be done to improve the fan experience at KY games. Alcohol? Cater more to the STUDENTS?? SOMETHING has to change.

I m looking at you Mitch Barnhart.......

We loved it. Nice arena, great food, & easy access to parking. Hope to return soon!

We went to see Frozen on Ice. Loved the show so much!!!! Everyone who worked there was friendly.

Great this .. I want to see a UK game ... This stadium is Magnificent

Very well maintained facility with interesting shopping options and lots of room for large events/conventions

Concert venue was great! Good sight lines and good sound. Parking was as little expensive at $20.

This Arena is okay only go when they host Smash tournaments because sports suck.

Worst place ever to see a concert. Packed in like sardines.

We had a wonderful show here with Ricky Skaggs and Alabama !

Friendly people, clean, nice venue... horrible to get out of, no good direction markers and construction outside almost half the building perimeter.

One of the many arenas you must visit in the country if you love college basketball.

First time there. Parking was good and although the outside is a mess from construction the interior looks good. It will be nice once it's finished.

Had a real good time at the Brantley Gilbert concert

Home of the greatest tradition in college basketball!

The Mecca of college basketball. This is one you have to check off your bucket list as a basketball fan and it doesn t disappoint..... the best fans in the world hands down but then I m a little biased.

Its Rupp! Everyone needs to visit at least once. There are no bad seats in Rupp for a UK game. Far as events only real problems is the beverage lines can take up little more time than I would like. Restrooms are like most event restrooms longer lines bad smell but I think that is part of the experience.

Good family oriented arena. Helpful ushers. Try the soft serve ice cream

Rupp arena was crawling with weirdos when I was there. There were people painted blue and pink and green and at least 10 batmen. Also, there was a plethora of young ladies that didn't check the weather forecast before they came out, because it was definitely not underwear weather when we were there. Also, the honest to god Chuck Norris was there. The real one. And you could even verify his existence yourself for the low low price of $95 and you got a signature souvenier for that same low price.

We always love coming here, just wish the seats were a little larger and there were backs to the upper level seats.

What can you say? It's the house that RUPP built. The greatest venue in all of college basketball.

I was lucky enough to see a University of Kentucky basketball game here, it doesn't get any better then that! Thanks Denis.

This venue was easy to get in and out of. It is spacious with tons of seating. It has a shopping center attached. However, with that said, the shops would not be the reason I would visit this place. It would either be because of an event or the food court on the lower level of the mall. With that said, it is still a nice place in a good location.

Plenty of Parking around arena. Has food court downstairs that is virtually nonexistent.... arena is great if you sit in lower seating, upper area seats are benches that are absolutely terrible

Beautiful Arena. The new screens are a great addition.
