For those of you that haven't been here since 2015, you have to come back and check it out. The remake from the original Coliseum from years ago is absolutely incredible. Fully modernized, and every seat has a great view, even in the "nosebleed" section. You feel immersed in the sporting event or performance. It is large, yet intimate. Welcome back, coliseum. !!! All we need now is the Islanders !!!!!!

They have done a great job with the new coliseum but as with all new arenas and stadium the stairs are a deathtrap. I went to monster jam with my 70 year old mother and 4yro son I wouldn't have noticed this otherwise, the stairs have the depth and angle on a roofing ladder and there is not nearly enough railing. Great sight lines but if you are going keep this mind when purchasing your tickets if their is any-kind of mobility issue in your group.

I haven't been to this venue is about 20 yrs. But it was great. We got a great parking spot so can't complain there. Parking was $15 which would probably be my only complaint of the whole experience. The security workers were so nice. The concession stand worker was super nice and the place was extremely clean. My daughter & I had a blast at frozen on ice. Id definitely take her to something else in the future.
