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!

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.

UNO hockey game (D1 sports game)

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.

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.

Ever since we moved closer to this area I've wanted to discover more of what makes this area and…read morethese smaller neighborhoods so special. I've frequented the surrounding businesses before but finally go the chance to see a movie at the Dundee Theater. I conveniently purchased my tickets online for a movie I had no idea what the plot was about but saw a notation that it would be held in the smallest theater there, 25 seats, called the Linder Microcinema. It was an intimate theater yet I didn't feel neck pain when the movie finished from staring up at a large screen. The screen was the perfect size for the theater. The theater itself was easy to get to with ample parking out back. I didn't realize the theater screens were separated by Lola's but I think it makes it even more unique. Checking in for my ticket was a breeze as well as getting snacks at the concessions. I had such a lovely experience I'm already considering getting a membership for my boyfriend and myself to continue to check out their newly released movies and other movies they're showcasing.

This place is a hidden gem…read more It's so beautiful inside! This is definitely a place you'd like to make your usual movie theater. It makes you feel like you are in a movie. There are gorgeous plants, a place to sit and eat inside called Lola's, gorgeous windows, and amazing staff! Highly recommend this theater to anyone who likes to support local theaters and nonprofits!
