Value City Arena at the Jerome Schottenstein Center Reviews

Best thing is parking is free! Got through security fast. Lots of greeters to guide you to your seat

This is a pretty darned good venue whatever you're seeing!

I mainly go here for the concerts. It's crazy its loud, the acoustics, for an arena, are pretty darn good in my opinion. Maybe not so much so in the upper deck, but on the ground and first section of seats its spectacular. It can also hold an insanely large crowd. Other non music shows are incredible here as well, such as Cirque. It can provide an intimate setting when it needs to, and does a good job of it in my opinion.

Even for graduations and sporting events, the seats are set up darn near perfect to be able to see everything. Not too slopped, could have a little more leg room, but nice none the same. It can get crazy hot in here for packed basketball games. The bleacher style seats on the floor level are a little rickety but comfortable. Those will be the only place you might have an issue seeing the action.

The parking is free (bonus!) and they have will call at 2 of the 4 corners where you go in at, which can be a pain sometimes. And at intermissions, if you need to go outside, they normally have one doorway open for smokers.

Went to WinterJam. Quick and easy to get to.. Lots of parking.. And the place was packed!! Nothing like God"s people all together!

I ve been here twice and was thoroughly impressed both times. The first time I came here I came to see an Ohio State basketball game, and the second time was to see a Kings Of Leon Concert. When I saw the concert, I was surprised at how good the acoustics in the stadium were. I was right in front and didn t feel blown away by the speakers either.

On this stage Babymetal was presented in July 2016, being the 26th of the tour for that year, this time the live presentation is made with the collaboration of Rob Haldford from Judas Priest.

The venerable Schott. The new paint and eating options are a welcome change. The Schott is just too big for OSU games. Try to avoid the 300 level for any event. The Schott is cavernous and not particularly intimidating. Shuttle service from the outlying parking lots for events are always timely and frequent. The OSU HoF is a must visit and the team shop usually has some interesting exclusive merchandise.

Only difficulty we had was finding our seats, but there was someone there to help. My family and I had a blast and there all kind of events being held. Totally going back for another one too.

The Dublin High School Graduation Was Great.Everyone Was Very Helpful

No obstructions anywhere in the building so any seat is a great seat. Bussing to the parking lot was easy and convenient.

When I came here for a gradution for students of gahanna it was a amazing court!

Amazing concert experience.. great ushers, great show, audio and visual experience was amazing. I would definitely recommend it. Floor seating is ccx a bit crowded, but I have no complaints!

Seem Smashing Pumpkins last night. Acoustics are amazing. I would recommend watching any of yore favorite bands play here.

I love how I was treated as an individual with physical challenges. They made sure that parking was available, I was able to sit when needed and they even allowed to go to the rest room while we were waiting to get in. However, the price for refreshments and food are outrageous and the show sucked, especially after waiting almost 45 minutes after the original start time to get in. Very dissappointed in the show for the money I spent.

Still not a great college sports venue, renovations are very nice though.

The Schott is a great venue to see various forms of entertainment from I've hockey to concerts, and even graduations.

I watch my Basketball, concerts, and other live sporting events here, a little costly food wise.

We went for Disney on ice. Even though we got a "premium" seat to sit in front, we may have been more comfortable and better view with cheaper seats.

I saw Celine Dion here and it was amazing! Very easy to navigate the building. We walked back to our hotel afterwards and felt very safe.

Love watching events here. Plenty of seating and good views all around the stadium.

One of the greatest venue's I've ever had the pleasure to visit

Working a event having the time of my life .love working here .

The parking was FANTASTIC!!! My seats were FANTASTIC!!! Elton John put on an AWESOME show. His band was just as good. Money well spent.

Great shows. Roomy seats. Good leg room. Good handicap access.

Great place to see a game! You can see the whole court from any seat.

Great venue!!! Polite & helpful staff & security !!

Went there to see Jeff Dunham. Enjoy the show very much.

I saw Weezer and The Smashing Pumpkins here. Great shows and an equally great arena!

My friend was here and sent me pictures, so Google thinks I was here

The Schott is a great venue. A nice facility and good place to be.

Had trouble knowing where to park and had a really long walk between the vehicle and the seats

Went to an Ohio State Men's hockey game. Good time even though had to sit in upper bowl.

Excellent from start to finish! Ample parking, good flow, plenty of concessions if needed and two FABULOUS entertainers in Joe Walsh and Co and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers...still rpckin' after all tgese years!!!! A little more AC would have been appreciated!

It's an awesome place to work and a great place to see a show. There isn't a bad seat in the house.

Enjoyed a concert there but took an hour and a half on 315 near lane ave to get parked. Ended up missing the first 5 songs.

Great venue for the concert I went to. For the most part the staff was very polite.

Went to see Martin. It's nice big arena, but the small thought seats, I rather not.

Seats are too narrow and not deep enough. Not everyone is petite, and these were in the Huntington Club.

We just attended a concert here a few days ago. This venue is in a good location; the bathrooms are clean (as is the building). They are under construction right now but I didn't find this to be an issue. All of the staff members I talked to were very friendly and helpful. Overall I had a great experience here.

I think the only issue I saw was that the seats / aisles are not numbered super clearly, which seemed to cause a lot of confusion. Even with this being true, my experience here was definitely worth 5 stars.

Renovations still not done. Only half the promised new food options are open.

Men's basketball! Great seats compliments of a friend... Nice facility.

The Schott is just an overall great event space. I love seeing the basketball games here, they even turn the place to the hockey arena. I also enjoyed seeing monster trucks and Jurassic world live. Amazing facility.

This place is going downhill all they care about is the almighty dollar .. too over packed.. drink and concession lines are so long before and during the show that you actually miss some of the performances

Making it better but for the 1st game of the year its a mess. Problems as well at the entrance as not prepared.

Its awesome place...very well managed and maintained by staff...good infrastructure

It was a good night. Went to a basketball game with Dad.

Saw Springsteen concert. Was quickly in and out even during the busy concert. Plenty of bathrooms

Great venue for all things! Of course - the prices are a bit insane, but that seems to be the norm for all special events these days.
