I've been here before for other events and I've been pleasantly surprised with how clean the facility is, minus the trash in the seats during the game from other visitors. The prices are what you'd expect from a sporting event: expensive. I do appreciate the metal detectors upon entering the building. It makes me feel a little safer in the downtown adjacent area near UNO's campus.
Parking in the aksarben garage was easy. Great spot for hockey games! I had a seat pretty high up but could still easily see everything. The UNO game was awesome! Adorable how they have cheerleaders and a pep band and everything.
Really nice venue for a UNO hockey game! The seats were really comfy, which makes a difference when you're sitting in them for hours at a time. The entrance process was smooth, some long lines but they took care of them pretty quickly. It's worth mentioning they have a clear bag policy. It was quick getting in despite that though. I really liked that they have local craft beer options available! We got Kinkaider, even one of the custom Mavericks ones, and the Big Grove Oktoberfest. Good food options too, and some local! My husband got a brat and he enjoyed it, I got a chick fil a sandwich that I probably wouldn't get again. The bun was totally crushed and you could tell it had been packed up in a cooler for a few hours. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back to another event, hopefully hockey game, here!
Great place for a GRADUATION ...lots of room for everyone ..you could see from every seat...handicap seating was great as well for our party. The temperature was absolutely perfect! Lots of 2925 items to purchase and snack and drink stands.very well organized.
Such a great event space! Attended my sister's graduation here as well had my own graduation here in 2018. Love coming here for concerts as well.
I've gone here so many times for UNO basketball and hockey games and every time I've came here I've always had great experiences. Every event here is set up to give the audience an authentic and cool experience, and everyone there is nice and no one has ever treated me and my family badly there if you ever have an event that is located in this arena you will have the best experience ever.
We were just here for a Hockey game, needless to say, but we had a blast! I love this arena, it's not too big and you can have a pretty good view wherever you sit. The facility has plenty of bathrooms and it's clean and kept up. Looking forward to the next event at this venue.
The Jet Award was held at Baxter Arena. Parking was easy to find, based on having access to the secure lot. The club level was extremely crowded, in fact too crowded for my comfort. Once the program started, being on the arena floor was comfortable. The sound system was good, and the video was decent during the program. Celebrities from the NFL past were announced, and the mayor of Omaha made an appearance. Overall, it's a good venue to hold this award ceremony at Baxter.
I gave Baxter Arena a five star rating because one my dad has been a season ticket holder for about the whole time the stadium has been created lol. But I also like it because the stadium is clean. If you have kids, it's a great idea to bring them here because you were able to give players high-fives when they're coming back in to the locker room or at locker room. After the game if they win, they have a fight song. Great way to get players to sign pucks. I've honestly been coming here for like my entire life. They've usually head home games every Friday and Saturday. On some occasions they have a Friday Sunday series which means instead of the games starting at 7:07pm they start at like 6:07. During intermission and they have a Chick-fil-A parachute drop. You always get a free Chick-fil-A tag Which usually comes with the other free chicken sandwich or eight piece nugget. For the second coupon both times I've done it. I've got an a godfathers, three dollars off a large pizza, and a buy one get one free PepperJax coupon. The stadium is really clean. They have three main concession stands, and they have some small other concession stands such as cold stone, Dippin dots and nacho stand a Durango's time out which has hot dogs, popcorn, candy, and drinks. Durango is the mascot he's always interacting with people. Go, Mavs! Bonus Baxter Arena also hosts volleyball and basketball. This is College hockey. But the arena is off-campus nearby the arena just like a five minute walk are some lacrosse fields. And also a baseball stadium . There are three parking lots. And needs Area right next to the stadium or you get a place to eat. My favorite one would be Gandolfo's. The concession stands are owned and operated by Savor. They also have a Lawlors stores where you can buy official game pucks, jerseys, replica jerseys, mini hockey sticks
Great arena for large events--especially UNO athletics. I attended a UNO basketball game and had fantastic seats that cost about $15. Concession lines were understandably long during breaks between the action, but kept moving swiftly. The food was good too--serving Raising Canes, a few other arena staples, even a veggie burger. The prices are a bit gouged, but hey, what do you expect? With a central location and adequate parking, it's easy to get in and out of Baxter Arena, plus there are many of great places to pre-game/post-game at nearby Aksarben Village. While the Omaha area might have a few too many small arenas at the moment, Baxter serves its purpose of being a home for UNO's main events and anchoring Aksarben as one of the best entertainment districts in the region.
Baxter Arena is a cozy little arena that is perfect for UNO and the surrounding neighborhoods. Before you even reach the building, the roads and parking lots are easy to navigate. I think the venue could use a little more handicapped parking because we did have a small issue with one of our group, but otherwise it was easy as pie. Plus the parking was free so we didn't want to complain too much. Once you're inside, the arena is quaint, well laid out and easy to walk through for whatever event you're attending. There are plenty of bathrooms and the concessions are easy to find. While the sight lines are nice and easy from all spots, if you're a well fed husky person such as myself you might want to buy a ticket in the lower bowl because those seats are a little wider than their cozier counterparts in the upper deck.
My first time here, the building is o so shiney and still has that new building smell. There seems to be more than ample parking, but I also am not at an event that is packed out - yet. I wish they'd turn up the heat a bit though, it is almost as chilly in the building as it is outside of the building. I look forward to attending a concert here one day and maybe even a hockey game.
We had a blast at the UNO Hockey game the other night, even though Minnesota won. I've been here once before for a graduation, but this was the first time for a hockey game! Plenty of ways to get in and it was nice a quick. We took some time to walk around and check everything out from different spots and there were very few locations that wouldn't be good to sit at! It was nice that they had a lot of local vendors and options instead of just name brand big brands for food and drinks too! read more
Baxter Arena is a solid venue that houses several different types of entertainments. I've seen hockey games there, concerts, and stand up comedian performances. The venue itself for concerts/shows is nice, with leveled seating that makes the view pretty good from any seat. The food options are pretty basic (hot dogs, burgers, pretzels) and they are more "grab and go" style like at a cafeteria. The quality of food is also a little meh - dry burgers, pretzels that are like donuts (sort of sweet with no salt), etc. I think one of the staff at the counter said the food vendor is a nonprofit organization, so if that's the case, I understand using lower quality ingredients so the fundraising brings in more. Baxter is definitely a smaller venue when compared to others like the CHI Center, so because of that they do attract some smaller acts most of the times. But if you see an act or game announced at Baxter Arena that piques your interest, definitely check it out and see for yourself how you like the venue! read more

Great place to attend an event. Went there recently for a hockey game and my husband's business had a suite reserved. Very attentive service and yummy catered food. Usually parking is not too bad. As is normal at places like this, food and beverages are pricey, but that's to be expected. The Baxter Arena has a good layout and is kept very clean, even during times when there is an event being held. It's nice they are right across the street from the Aksarben area, for dinner or cocktails before or after an event. I also like that they have a local company on stand-by for medical emergencies that may occur. read more

It's shiny, it's new, it's the Baxter Arena!! Home of the UNO Maverick Hockey team. Seating sections well marked and easy to find. Hip music playing throughout during the pre game wait. Bathrooms were clean and surprisingly efficient. We sat in Section 222 which were fairly good seats to view the hockey game. Great venue! read more

Can't say I really enjoyed my experience there. It's similar to Ralston arena. And much worse in a few areas. Never been to venue that doesn't have closer/ parking for motorcycles. Or a special parking space for us. Nor have I ever sweated so much. Just sitting and watching a show. It was hotter in there. Than the drive to the event. Hallways are cool but no circulation in the arena. Why copy the Ralston arena and only be a worse place? Wish I would've known how this place was. Before I actually bought tickets to Korn. It's going to be another miserable experience. Thank god BOSTON made the unbearable atmosphere. Worth sweating your butt off. So if anybody affiliated with the band BOSTON sees this. I want to thank you for such a KICK ASS show last night. The only 3 thing this place has in its favor is. Ice cold water The UNO police ran it like Champs Aksarben area read more

Got a bunch of tix for a family gathering. We sat in the last row on the upper deck and still had a great view. Mavs hockey won 3-0, that made it more fun. The beer is too much but that's how it is at sporting events. Not a great selection either. Parking can be tough at a full house event and it was when we went. Any servers including the carding lady were all polite. read more

I enjoyed my visit here for a hockey game (my dad has season tickets). It doesn't seem like there's a bad seat in the house! Major points for copious restroom stalls for the ladies, because it sucks to stand in line and miss the game. Beer is expensive and it was slow-going to get out after the game, but that's kind of par for the course at sporting events. I appreciated the nearby parking! I'd definitely go back. read more

I love this arena. Since this is a home arena of UNO, there are lots of athletic event going on here. It is not big neither small. With total capacity of 7000, it is a great place to hold events. Go mavricks. read more
