VenuWorks Ford Center Arena Review

This is a great venue with no real terrible seats. Free parking a block away.

Drove From Knoxville Tennessee for a Hockey Game and This has to be my Favorite arena to visit.

The Ford Center is fairly new and comfortable. It's not huge, so no seat is really a bad seat. I was there to see WWE SD Live. I have been to see WWE there a few times. I live two hours away, but I don't mind driving there. I will definitely be going back.

The wife and I came to town for a concert. Not knowing what to expect the place was absolutely amazing. There's not a bad seat in the house. The sound was absolutely amazing. The staff was superb. This is now one of my favorite venues. I highly recommend checking this place out.

Nice big arena but the seats are way too close together and too tight.

Nice for wrestling event, seats are not comfortable for fat people. Lol

Nice facility, but it's a shame since the city used tax money to build it that Vanderburgh County residents don't get a discount for events.

Went to circus here, nice but no leg room, cost is a bit much for food and drinks, no matter what your there to see, nice seats with drink holders, building clean when we was there.

Very nice arena. Parking no problem (2-3blocks walk) for 4-5$. Very nice to be downtown to grab a drink before/after game or concert.Two years after opening the bathrooms clean, concession food pretty good and an all around nice place to catch a basketball or hockey game.

Went to an event at the ford center that was also catered by the ford center and the food was excellent

Everything was good... but we didn't see our Loge seating server after the concert started.

Usually not a big fan of indoor venues, but I was on the floor for A7X show and was a great experience! And an awesome show! Beer was expensive, but always is at these things :)

Everything is great except the cost of the concession.

They won't let you conceal carry in here anymore, so stay home.

Why wouldn't we love it! They did have a couple weird rules about your purse and how big it is, and they made me throw my drink away that I accidentally brought in, but I bought a $4 tea frome THERE, and walked outside for a minute, and they were gonna make me throw it away too!! Not for 4 dollars!!

Went here for a Thunderbolts game. Very clean and the staff was incredibly nice.

Really a step forward for Evansville. Roberts was falling apart and we needed a new venue.

Nice venue but they didn't have large screens up at the Alabama Concert which made it difficult to see from back rows on the floor. Not sure we will drive 4 hours for this venue again.

This was a good experience,,i do take one star because our toilet kept running but was fixed ..overall nice rooms service and food would recommend.

Nice venue! TERRIBLE PARKING!!! I don't mind long walks. It's parking on the street by the dark alleys or in the back 20. Scary!

Great place . Hard to get out of building when events are over. Need more stairs.

A very nice venue. Clean, the staff was courteous and friendly. It was a great place for as concert. It is a little hard to find and the parking is a little tricky. It cost $12.00 to park for 4 hours. Also, the parking garage isn't marked so it is hard to find your vehicle and even harder to get out of. There are no signs which direct you to the exit. People are going this way and that so it is a bit nerve wracking. Also, construction around town makes it hard to grey in and out of the downtown area.

Just attended the second concert ever at the Ford Center. Really enjoy going. The staff are friendly for the most part. The place is big and has good sound. Will likely return and I'm from central Illinois.

Need to let people out to smoke and let them back in with there ticket.

Had the Trump Ralley here, nice place, food and drink had crazy high prices.

Went to see Cirque du Soleil: Toruk on Sunday, Sept. 4. Had purchased tickets in the 100 level. Two tickets with the service fees were $173. After the show I was informed that everyone that purchased the $33 tickets were "upgraded". So basically, the people who spent $33 for tickets had better seats than those that spent $75-100. If this is how the Ford Center operates, I will never go back.

Too tall for any seat in there no room for nothing!!

I miss Robert's Stadium...a lot of good memories there before they closed and tore it down. Plus the corridors, parking, restrooms, and seating was more accessible at Robert's. However there is more room for monster truck racing (which I enjoy) at Ford Center. There is more room for dirt hill jumps, car crushing, and donuts.

Love this Ford center every show I see there. The seating is easy to navigate and parking has always been fairly easy in the past. Only complaint would be the $4 bottle of H2O they have. If you drink beer-be ready to pay $$

Easy access, helpful staff, accessible parking, smooth traffic flow during exit

I'm a fan of the venue. If you have never been here I have to say there are really no bad seats in the place. Great music concerts and the like. The food is of course overpriced and fairly flat. I don't recommend eating here.

Loved the experience. Still not that happy with the seating

Facility is clean and easy to navigate. Staff are always nice. Parking is usually 3 blocks or less. The bag rules and diaper bag/purse size rules cause MAJOR inconvenience for families and adults with medical issues that require any type of supplies. 2 families in front of us had to go to their car to return what I would consider small diaper bags. Also, no diaper backpacks allowed so dad's better get ready to make a fashion statement.

Superb facility. Not a bad seat in the place. Effective for all different kinds of uses.

This venue is badass! There's literally not a bad seat!

Beautiful meeting place. Plenty of bathrooms. Comfortable seating.

Went for the Hadi Shrine circus, the setup was cool we had good seats.. BUT Waaay overpriced on them damn concessions!! It's ridiculous honestly.

I've seen gone to quite a few concerts there and they've all been enjoyable. It's nice that you dont have to park like a mile away and dont have to waste 10 bucks to park. The arena itself is pretty nice, easily accessible, and definitely not small. Always a good show no matter who's there!

Warning if you have a difficult time walking a long distance, beware of Ford Center Evansville, Indiana. 2019 graduation for HCHS Seniors we as grandparents came up from Alabama, had to park in the back forty. Then once we finally arrived at the doors hubby with a 1 yr knee replacement was in pain. Me with planters fascia both heels then come all the stairs, went down wrong section of stairs then back up, hurting and nervous. Only to climb down another section. Just saying be prepared, not set up for older folks with health problems..

Had a freakin blast at the WWE SHOW. And you don't have to climb stairs.

Cold but nice no matter where you Sat and the bathroom was nice and clean

Lots of clean restrooms, nice seats, easy sky walk access

Great, modern facility. Very clean and well-kept. All staff was super friendly and helpful!

Not a bad seat in the house.

Keep up the great job!

I attended the 2019 "Love never fails" convention of Jehovah's Witnesses . We had 4391 in attendance on Sunday!

Do Not purchase tickets for the before show Dinner.

We were given the run around on what door to go in. What time it was going to open.

Finally got in and the food was picked over and salad was depleted. 30 minutes to eat in.

Ticket office and security was no help. They did not know either.

Sadly lack of communication

Spoiled a good evening

Save your money and go somewhere else to eat.

The Ford center is a good place to go to for Events but Chicken tenders with french fries $9.50 & cup of water For $4 woah Expensive food & drinks there iam not happy spend $20 on Chicken tenders & french fries y'all Prices to high even a Another Customer said the same thing I understand why things are Expensive but the food was good!

It's a nice look place, but it should have been built somewhere else that is easier to get too and has better parking. The seating is not very good at all, the seats are so close together that I could barely move my legs without kicking the seat in front on me and could not cross my legs at all.

Went to the Luke Bryan, Kip Moore and cadillac three concert. Getting into the venue was decently fast for being a sold out show. Non smoking enviornment. Bathrooms were really clean and maintained well. Staff was very helpful and professional. All in all i had a really great experience here for being my first time at this venue.

Your typical arena venue...overpriced concessions and half-decent entertainment

Suite tickets made for an eventful night. 2 bucks before the puck!

Convention of Jehovah's witnesses. Best 3 days ever. Place is so clean.

At the Hadi Shrine circus, Shriners need to be more due diligent on how they sell tickets to ticket master or who ever,they scalp tickets and have tons of empty seats its a shame because Shriners do sure wonderful work for people,maybe try and keep loca?

We saw Five Finger Death Punch, Shinedown, Starset and Bad Wolves in Nashville, Tn. Enjoyed it we came to Evansville to see them again. Great Show at each venue. There was not an area outside for our friends who smoke. Bridgestone had a designated area to accommodate those who smoke. Sound was great, smaller venue, Staff we interacted with were cordial, and helpful.

Comfortable and the air conditioning works. Seats good.

Its hard to find parking or bathrooms and everything was over priced the seating is terrible

So worried about making as much money as they possibly can, they have put the rows of seats so close that you have absolutely no room. Knees touch the back of the seats in front of you, coke holders are under the people in front of you's hair.. if a person needs to leave their seat, the entire row has to completely stand up so they can pass. Very uncomfortable and inconvenient.

I saw what I believe was Bigfoot there, great experience would reccomend

No reentry..no smoking area anywhere. People constantly walking around you and in front of you during the show to sell beer so people are always pushing you around.
