Allen Event Center

Been here for 2 Disney shows, MMA fights, going to soccer game tonight. Great venue, not a bad seat in the house. Great staff.

The Allen Event Center is a great venue for all forms of entertainment. I primarily attend Allen Americans Hockey games during cooler weather. The concessions offered provide a wide variety of good eats. I’ve tried the barbecue, pizza, hot dogs, and chocolate. The popcorn and sodas are the same quality you would expect at a movie theater.
To make the popcorn better, I add a bag of Peanut M & M’s to the bucket. A handful of popcorn is a great treat but a handful of popcorn and Peanut M & M’s is a salty/​sweet treat that makes my snacking complete.
I tried the Philadelphia Cheese sandwich combo tonight at the American Grill. It was food. The meat had been prepared far in advance and then heated in the microwave. Being placed in a stale hot dog bun dos nothing to enhance the flavor. The fries were well prepared and hot. But, I should have known better to take them into a cool hockey arena. That’s my bad.

Great venue for a concert. The music sounded great and honestly there isn’t a bad seat in the place. I went to see Lenny Kravitz and I previously saw him at the AAC. It was missing all the giant screens like the AAC but the setting was more intimate. I actually felt closer to Lenny here and he interacted much more with the crowd. He walked out in the crowd and I think the same as he did when at AAC but he walked out further here. I would definitely come back here for a concert or even a arena football game. The parking was great as well, no long walk to overpriced parking.

Nice place, hosted the Guns and Hoses event this year and the seats were very comfortable. I would love to go back to a concert or something Looks like there is a lot of stuff to do around here also. I didn’t pay much attention because everything was closed by the time we got out of our event. Thanks for hosting such an awesome and charitable event!

This is a really nice little convention center. It isn’t HUGE but it’s more than big enough for most concerts/​events. They have food places like BBQ, Cici’s Pizza, popcorn, etc. the drinks are pretty pricey ($ 9 cocktails, $ 7.50 beers) but you kind of expect those prices at events. Overall a really decent place to come see a show or event with a big parking garage directly next to them!

Have been here twice recently, once for a Texas Revolution Arena league game, and once for Disney in Concert. A great time was had at each event. The arena is small enough that there isn’t a bad seat. The sightlines are good from everywhere. The staff has all been helpful, the president and co-​owner of the Revolution even gave us an impromptu tour of the arena while looking for coupons for my daughter. Parking is also free, a big plus at these type places. Lots of bathrooms and concession stands. All in all a fun place to catch ashow or a game.

This is my 2^nd visit for arena football. You know what that means — time to write a review. Nice, clean building. Not huge, but big enough to have fun while, and enjoy spacious (and comfortable) seats; small enough to be close to the action.
Friendly staff, decent food offerings (roasted nuts, pizza, nachos, hot dogs, beer, popcorn, etc.) all at gourmet prices of course.
I love sports, and I love family, so the Allen Event Center is a no — brainer.
Cool opportunities to get autographs from legends before the game, and from the players who also post for pics afterward. The Texas Revolution is a team of really cool guys who respond well to the fans. They’re good for high 5s between plays. Gr8 energy!
Location can’t be beat — movies, shopping, dining all within walking distance. Easy, free parking in lot or garage. Good action, great times. Love it!

Lots of free parking, easy to access and clean. Visited during the Home and Garden SHow and was moderately pleased. The arena floor was sooo cold so I knock stars off for that and I found the staff to be rude and unhelpful. But a nice venue for Allen.

Perfect place for family fun. New and functioning arena. Many different place to eat, perfect vip packages.

I recently took my kids to the ‘Disney on Ice’ show at the center and was very favorably impressed. Parking is easy at the garage across the street. The venue is not too small or too large — it’s perfectly sized for the audience to feel completely immersed in the show.
Kudos to the staff on organization and customer service — my 11 year old dropped her phone through the bleachers/​seats and the staff promptly sent people to find it while asking us to wait up front. Very pleasant outing.

Love this place. Always going on Disney on ice. Does not matter where you sit, the view is great. The only downside is the price of the food. $ 16 for the cup of ice. I understand that the ice is in the pretty plastic cup, but $ 16?

Visited the Allen Event Center today for Disney on Ice and I must say I wish we had a center like this in Knoxville where I currently live. They have free parking in a garage right next to center and the Allen Police were on hand directing traffic
Keep the traffic flowing and pedestrians safe.
There is not a bad seat in the place, from where I was it seems anywhere you could sit you’d have a good view. This is not a huge venue and that’s a good thing to me– it keeps the crowds down a bit and helps keep the views better from the seats. There are plenty of restrooms including family restrooms. The place was clean for our visit. Plenty of eateries nearby for food if you want to grab a bite to eat before or after.
Like all venues, concession prices were outrageous ($ 4 for a bottle of diet coke,$ 3.75 for bottled water) so I suggest eating before you come.
Overall impression: Great Venue! Definitely worth a visit if something you want to see us playing/​visiting here.

went to a Allen Americans Hockey game. It was loads of fun. And like others have said there isn’t a bad seat in the house.
Parking is free, but like any other event, the drinks and food is a bit overpriced. But since this is right next to the Villages of Allen, there are plenty of restaurants right there to eat at before an event! I love going here.

Nice, clean, and comfortable place to watch a good hockey game. I have only ever attended Allen American’s games here, but I am sure that all events are equally nice. The seats are comfy and it doesn’t feel like you are sitting on top of the person next to you. There are countless drink and food vendors and everyone who I’ve encountered who works there is very friendly.

This place hosts so many things that are joy to watch.
Just be warned its your typical overpriced food, and drinks.
However the German Nuts are always a treat.
Never seems to over crowded, seats are good all around and they have private boxes for a fair price.
We always come here to watch the Dallas Sidekicks play, but they host many sporting events and conferences.
Parking garage is close by, and traffic flows without issue getting in and out.

I went here last night for the Guns & Hoses boxing match. {SWEET JESUS. Men in uniform? Boxing? YES!} And MOST importantly: it’s for charity. See, everybody wins!
Anyway, I thought the center was great. Nice «flow» to it, easy to find your seat and lots of space. We had front row seats, so naturally we had a great view. Parking was easy and free, so that’s a plus! I love that this center is so close to neighboring restaurants and bars. Great little center for sure!

I took my son here to see Scooby-​Doo Live! Musical Mysteries. The tickets were reasonably priced. We arrived about 15 minutes before the show and had second row tickets. Our view was unobstructed. My son loved the show and the sound was of good quality. During intermission we went outside to a vendor to buy a chocolate chip cookie that was reasonably priced. All in all it was a great experience.

They have an occasional gun show here, and that’s why we went this morning. Mostly looking for some ammo to shoot at the gun range for practice. Lot’s of interesting people, especially vets are usually selling things… not just guns, but knives and various other hunting or shooting things.

Nice venue. Not far from home & Easy parking.
They have all different kinds of shows from musicals to fights, games and concerts. Plenty of concessions.
We enjoy is a lot.

My first time to the Allen Event Center was to see a Dallas Sidekicks game. The venue is nice and clean, and parking is free which is a giant plus.
The reason why they lose a star is the seats are way too close together. and your legs feel like they’re in a sardine can.
