Went to an aces game and liked the staff, very friendly from the start out in the parking lot. We gave ourselves 15 mins to get in and to our seats but that was not enough time, they were already singing the national anthem. Parking is crazy, there are so many people- I would recommend coming 30 mins early! The place was clean, staff was emptying trash cans throughout the game, the bathrooms were clean and I recommended going when the game is going on unless you want to spend your whole breaks in line. My husband said there was even a line in the men's room and another line to wash your hands in the men's room. So be careful what you touch, I'm sure some men skip the washing line to save themselves some time! Also have your ID ready if you're sitting on the wet side, and keep your kids/minors with you at all times when on the wet side. Should be common sense although I did see comments about people upset about not being allowed in the 21+ side (??? If you are not old enough then don't buy tickets for that side unless you are going with your parents!). I did like the cup holders in every seat. Overall we had a good experience, the only annoying thing was the guys sitting in front of us (had not showered in at least a week). I guess I could've just stole someone else's seat who didn't show up but that isn't me, so I didn't.

I stopped in here last night to check out WrestlePro AK, an independent wrestling circuit that was…read morein town for a show last night at 7PM. I have to be honest. I was a big fan of the WWF/WWE in the 1980's-mid 2000's and haven't followed wrestling at all since a lot of the big names from that era retired. However, there was a meet and greet being held in the arena at 5PM prior to the show and it included one of the biggest stars from the Federation Era: Bret "The Hitman" Hart! I don't want to deviate from the main reason for this review which is for the venue itself. When I arrived at 4:30PM, there was a small line gathered in front of a closed sliding door entrance. I realized that they didn't open the entrances to the arena until the actual event starts. The only problem with this arrangement was that this was located at the ticket stand which had a very small space past the main entrance. Pretty soon, a lot of people started to show up and the line started snaking around this small room filling it to capacity. The least building management could do was to open the sliding doors and have everyone stand in line right by the meet and greet area. The line and the space in the ticket lobby became so cramped that had they been late to open the doors at 5, people would've been forced to stand in line outside in the freezing cold. Fortunately, that didn't happen and the sliding doors were opened before things got worse. There was also some confusion with employees accepting tickets for the event. Those that paid for the event online were instructed to print out their transaction via PayPal and present it to the ticket takers. At first, some of the fans were turned away before several people explained what the wrestling promotion instructed online customers to do once they arrived. This was a communication issue that could've easily been prevented between the management and the promoters. Because of this error, people that paid for only the meet and greet were waved in without question. That is an unfortunate loss of money for the business promoting this event. The meet and greet consisted of long rectangular tables where the wrestlers performing that night sat for autographs and photo ops. I came to see Bret Hart, but he was nowhere to be found at the tables by the ticket booths which initially caused some confusion with a lot of people wondering where he was at. None of the employees gave any information as to where he was at and people were forced to wander the hallways until they saw the rest of the performers down on the main level of the arena. Once I got to the main level, things got a lot better for everyone and myself. Everyone was excited to see some of the main event wrestlers, but most of all two WWE Hall of Famers seated at the far end: Animal from the legendary tag team Legion of Doom and the Hitman. Bret Hart himself was very friendly and laid back. It was an awesome moment to shake hands, sign autographs, and take pictures with a living legend which easily made the problematic wait well worth it.

I brought my daughter here for a special winter toddler time that was from 10am - 1pm at $5/child…read more It was okay, and I would return. I expected a lot more blocks and building toys but my toddler was able to have a lot of fun and make her rounds. They had soft frisbees, soft balls, little bikes, etc. There was a face painter who was not only talented, but was super fast and we appreciated that because the line was long and toddlers can't be expected to be so patient. I had no idea this facility runs as a gym also. There's an area off to the side with equipment. They have a track. I was aware however, that many different teams hold practice here.

I came here on a recent visit to Anchorage to watch a bonspiel one weekend, and then do a Learn2Curl the next. Watching the bonspiel was really fun, and the people were amazingly nice! Then, the Learn2Curl was even better. We learned the game, threw some stones and had a few beers together. The club has two sheets of dedicated, professional curling ice, a nice bar area, and great people. Go do a Learn2Curl. Seriously. It's really fun and a sport anyone can do (though doing it really well takes practice). Then join the club. Believe me, if I lived in Anchorage, I'd already be a member.

And the MTA center does it even better than some that I have been to. They have nice heaters in the stands and even a pizza corner during games. I've had the pleasure of using the rink for two things, curling and hockey games. Hockey Games - during hockey games, I've sat in the seats, enjoyed the concessions, and watched the game. There are no bad seats and they have warmers above the bleachers. Curling - this has been my chance to actually get down on the ice. The staff at the rink are very friendly and accommodating. They do a great job setting up the ice to curl!
