Value City Arena at the Jerome Schottenstein Center Reviews

Great venue, good location. Typically park far and walk but you can wait for the bus.

This was our first concert here and I can honestly say it will be our last! So disappointed we wasted money on this experience. Chalk it up to a lesson learned.

I enjoyed my visit for the Reynoldsburg graduation ceremony.

Nice place for a family event. But they don't allow lid's on drinks

What a fun time with all the guys in our fam at a Bucks Hockey game.
Go Bucks!

Went to Disney on Ice here. The show was great and facilities nice enough. The seating close down was just chairs though, and they aren't well raised from one row to another. I wouldn't get seats that close again unless it was in the first two rows.

Great energy, awesome place for the families to watch championship basketball game

We went to see our first Ohio State Hockey game and we loved our experience. The staff was great the view was great and the game was great. Go Bucks!!!!

The concert, employees GREAT. The handicap parking horrible

Had a great time watching the bull riders battle it out.

Great venue as with all of them the beer prices are high.

for King and Country
Fantastic!

Nice sports arena always enjoy watching games here.

Parking is usually pretty easy to find, and the place is definitely built to amplify atmosphere. Every event is electrifying and the history, murals, and mosaic pieces in the surrounding halls are a brilliant touch

We had a great evening and really enjoyed it immensely. So clean and we'll organized with helpful staffing. Thanks!

Nice venue. We saw the black keys here. I would like to come back for another concert

Great experience and excellent seating for the most part. The higher the seats the closer you get to the person beside you and in front of you.

I am 3rd generation Buckeye...The "Schotte" is awesome

If you're stuck in the middle of a row it is very hard to get past people! Next time I will look for seats on the end.

Only complaint is the lines to get in and out for parking. They could be more organized and make the process quicker.

Went to monster jam thinkin it would b better than wheeling....well i was wrong!! Not going to another monster jam except to vegas.

Def not enough hall space it was insane with all the pushing and shoving. Also, DO NOT PAY ANY BEER GUY UNTIL AFTER YOU GET IT..ONE TRIED TO RIP US OFF AND GET PAID TWICE..crazy

Not a bad seat in the house. Check out Ohio State games or concerts or many other sporting events here throughout the year.

I came to a concert and was away from my baby and needed to pump breastmilk. The shotteinstein center had a beautiful private room with a microwave, refrigerator, television, sink, comfy chairs and adjustable thermostat. It was very easy to pump and go back to my concert. The bag check policywas very smooth and nonjudmental as well!!

I had a great time watching BUCKEYE Hockey! A great friend from church sometimes has two extra tickets. He took his wife, my fiancee, and me. It was the first time that I have seen a Buckeye Hockey game live. And I had a fantastic time. The game was a lot of fun to watch. The atmosphere, Brutas, the beautiful arena, the whole aura of the place was exciting. Plus, we even had excellent parking; just a short walk to the arena. It was an overall excellent performance, and a fantastic experience.
We took lots of pictures of the game, all over the arena, and throughout the Center. There is quite a bit of fun stuff to see. The snacks and drinks were not overly expensive; that's a good thing. There are gift shops and kiosks selling awesome Buckeye gear. We did a little shopping; their prices were comparable to what you might expect to pay at a mall store. My fiancee got a hoodie and I got a hat. There is also a nice Hall of Fame Museum. There are many nice items to see, including two Heisman Trophies. I recommend going, because you are guaranteed a great time!
We did all of those things and bought snacks and drinks before the game started. The seats we had were in a really good spot. We had an amazing view of the game, and was close to the aisle. We took more pictures after the game before leaving the Center. We get to the car easily and had very little trouble getting out considering the amount of traffic. Before leaving Columbus we stopped at a nice restaurant for a late dinner. The food and service both were very good. There are lots of good places to eat that are close to the Center. You have many to choose from, and it's just icing on the cake after such a great time at the hockey game. It doesn't have to be hockey, there are basketball players, concerts, and lots of other events to attend. The Schottenstein Center is a nice place, and I highly recommend it for a great time, no matter the event. GO BUCKEYES!

Love the staff, the show and how the place was cleaned, and professional.

A Gem of a Day..Serious Medical Talent...and light Hearted with the Weather...

Seats are so small, but it's expected considering the venue

Went for the Ariana grande concert. The lady yelled in my face for having my wallet and passport. No wifi.

A great music venue. Not much to say really, the fun of the place depends on the musicians.

Great place to see shows. I like the parking here better than other places in Columbus. The top level seating is scary because it seems very steep. So I recommend getting seats in the lower areas.

Went to see some dinos. Kids loved it was a great show

Seen a couple shows here. Pretty much good seats everywhere.

Awsome place for entertainment, not a bad seat in the house.

It was well organized, they had bathrooms at places where you didn't have to walk far from where you was sitting. They had shuttle buses so people didn't have to walk far. The food and drinks was over priced

Plenty of easy access handicap parking. Large number and variety of concessions. Assistance available for finding seats. Clean restrooms.

Some ferrers got Braun Strowmans hands. Had good th ine in the arena

Best arena around. We've been here several times and we'll keep coming back!

Nice venue, but still has the age - old parking problem.

The Shottenstein Center is a very nice place for concerts and other events.

Sadly, the Worst food I've ever had at a sporting event. The nachos were horrible for $9. No flavor and using chipotle chips was weird. The chicken fingers, again for $9, were a Total waste. I had three chicken pieces, but they were all 90% breading (not kidding). I doubt there was even 2 ounces of chicken total in all three combined. The fries were cold and hard. I'm a huge Buckeye fan, but I won't go back to eat there. I'll eat before I go. The Coke was fine, but how would that get messed up. I'd give no stars if an option. I'm not a complainer, but really disappointed because I did not eat dinner before going, and then food was awful. I should have got a Donatos pizza. My son and I wanted Roosters, but not there. What?! Roosters is a sponsor and not even offered at a game. Weird.

Saw Korn and Breaking Benjamin as part of their Winter Tour and the center was excellant. Food was decently priced for being at a center. 6 dollars got a souvenir cup plus unlimited refills. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful

$4.50 for a hot dog, $7 for a piece of pizza, $9 for chicken tenders. Its true

The Shottenstein family are BIG Trump supporters. Gross.

A great venue to see so many activities, from sports to concerts!

Hugh Jackman concert was awesome. Parking only $10!

Good food. Friendly and helpful event staff. Overall great venue. Bravo Columbus

Whofa! Went to a concert here and sat in seats that were smaller than the smallest airline seat. Yes, smaller. :) The couple next to us we re spilling out into the aisle way. It s unfortunate we couldn t simply stand. Concert promoter greed I m sure was a contributing factor. Getting out after a busy event is painful and onsite parking is non existent. Take a ride share. If you are going here for a concert make sure you get the fixed seats and don t expect anything comfortable. Acoustics aren t great either for concerts. Sound was reverberating off the ceiling making the music sound distorted at times. Nothing special just a standard arena on Ohio States campus.

Saw Radiohead here and had a great time. Parking was well organized, no long lines for bathroom or beer. Great sound.
