Absolutely amazing if you manage to find parking and get in the lower arena! Last year we sat in the upper arena bleachers. It was miserable! Some woman and I use that term loosely sat on us and was blowing her nose or burping the entire time.
Iconic arena filled with history. It’s a place to view a basketball game and home to the wildcats and BBN. While you can view other events like concerts it’s known for the basketball. Fans usually fill the seats to be quite packed of 20,000+. Seats are in the lower section while in the upper section is bench style seats. It was recently renovated and I really like what they’ve done. The old speakers hanging above in the middle of the arena is now a big four sided screen. Some new lights and paint were also added along with a new basketball court.
It was pretty nice and comforting. You just have to watch out for rude, redneck, Bible thumping people that tend to snub their nose at anything that can possibly be different from what they call normal. So, basically if you are gay-or different... it's a flip of a coin when knowing what to expect. You could get a smile. You could get a frown. Either way, I wouldn't let it get me down. You've got a lot of people traveling from out of these small biases, (everyone knows each other) towns. There are not a lot of big cities in KY, very few in fact.
Nice hotel, however the shuttle was down so my crew was transported by taxi. Upon arrival at the hotel as the driver presented the fare for payment, the male night clerk very rudly informed the driver that he was only to receive 20 (Which was 3.50 short of the fare),and he could take it or not get anything. When the Captain from my crew went to speak up for the driver, we were informed that if we wanted to get involved that he could deny our rooms, and we could go to Hilton. I have never felt so disrespected at a hotel EVER. The only they get 3 stars is for the rooms, and things to do in the area. The customer service needs some work.
There is always something to do here. We love we love going to all the little shops when we visit. At Christmas time it's a great place to find unique gifts.
This year section 29 row N seats 1 and 2 and man were they the best!!! Can't wait to go back!!! 2 hours earlier to park and lower arena only!!!
