Great little community arena in the Mile End. There is bleacher seating on one side, a cute little…read morecanteen and pretty clean bathrooms. Honestly, I don't really know what criteria to judge an arena on. I've been to this one for some Roller Derby games and that's always a good time, so that's pretty much the basis of this review.

Nice fun place for Kids to play Roller Skate and Scooter!…read moreThey even has a BMX park as well.

I wish I knew about this place during the winter!!! Of course I learn about this place right when…read morethe weather is getting better but today was a rain day so it was a perfect opportunity to check this spot out. The parking lot was full so people were parking on the street, no problem since it's not downtown or anything. When we walked in there was a waiver on an iPad to enter your personal info, the form was tedious and I noticed people just gave up as did I. Free for kids under 4!! Despite the full parking lot it was orderly inside and everyone was thankfully going in the same direction (counter clockwise) There are some small ramps along the track in the inner loop. My son got a boo boo and they had a box of free and aids. They also have another large room for advanced ramps for the bigger kiddos who are more adventurous. Tip: If you want to ride next to your child, bring some roller blades or a scooter so you can catch up with him but don't forget your helmet (mandatory for kids and adults)

I've been to Place Bell a handful of times now and I find it's a solid stadium that is essentially…read morea smaller Centre Bell. I've been here for Disney on Ice, Cirque de Soleil as well as the Rockets of Laval and never had any issue. The arena looks nice and is conveniently located if you get here by metro with a barely 3 minute walk. They started opening restos within the Place Bell so you can dine and attend your show without an issue. The concessions are limited in choices and grossly overpriced but that's what they're all about, so eat before you come! My issue lies with limited parking in this area. You have to show up super early to find free street parking. You can pay for parking but it's basically downtown prices. I hope when Place Montmorency opens up we can get more affordable parking. This has been an ongoing issue since this place opened. Place Bell does have its own parking but from what I heard it can be a challenge to leave without being stuck in traffic.... something I actively avoid. Another thing I wish this place would have would be more shows. They should be able to accommodate more musicians/entertainers considering the size of the arena. They simply can't seem to book a good comedian and seat 5000 people, it should be a non-issue.

The venue itself is fine, decent sound for an arena. Visited on Friday for Disturbed. The problem…read morehere is the parking. We arrived about half an hour before the show started but signs for parking said Full, and there wasn't much indication that we could pay to park in the mall parking lot across the street, so we drove around for awhile looking for something, finally parked about 2 blocks from the arena. The show was great. But took an hour to leave the parking lot. Unreal.
