This show had a full choir and full orchestra with amazing lighting, and I mention this as this is a sports arena! The arena was well prepared and I felt I was in an theatre for most of the show.

The ambiance of the venue is great and climate controlled. Sound isn't bad as long as the sound person does their job well. There's Jumbotrons for anyone that can't see the performers but sometimes the video person messes up the tv stuff. During basketball season the floor is the court and fun to watch.

I visited the NB Bees Stadium in June 2021. It was my first visit so I'm not sure what it was like…read morepre-Covid, but this visit was not a great one. This stadium has lots of potential, though. Pros: -Inexpensive ticket -Reasonable food prices -Fun music -Great items in gift shop -Air conditioned gift shop -The bee mascot was readily available to greet -Hot dogs tossed into the crowd (lol) -Friendly staff Cons: -Broken, slanted and wobbly table (and therefore spilled my drink) -Subpar cleanliness -Broken down and dirty equipment in the upper seating area. (Naturally, the small children gravitated toward it- plus it was an eyesore) -Few prices posted in the gift shop; had to ask clerk -Fun Zone for kids was closed and in disrepair. No gate or sign indicating that it was closed until you walked all the way in only to see an empty area with the remains of a ride; the two staff members I spoke to had no idea if or when it would be back up and running. Kids were disappointed. Overall, would not return to this stadium unless some major improvements are made.

New Britain Stadium is the home of the New Britain Bees baseball team. They are a member of the…read moreAtlantic League and are not affiliated with Major League Baseball. Player salaries are capped at $3,000 per month. The league's website says that "more than 40% of Atlantic League players have major league service time" and that "the league averages more than 50 player contract sales to MLB organizations each year". Today we saw the New Britain Bees play the Long Island Ducks on the Fourth of July. Admission was free, seriously all you had to do was show up, go to the ticket window for a ticket, and give that ticket to someone at the gate and you were in. Parking was a modest five bucks, so no complaints there. We went up to the Alvarium Beer Pavilion and enjoyed a White Denim "It tastes like a Blue Moon" and a Cremo "It tastes like a Yeungling". Beers were 7 bucks a glass. After the beers, we grabbed lunch and got a hot dog and a kielbasa for $4 each. They were pretty good sized portions and tasted great (free sauerkraut is a nice touch). The stadium corridors and restrooms are painted bumblebee black and yellow and the stadium looked to be in excellent condition. The staff we interacted with was very nice, especially the young lady at the Alvarium Beer Pavilion who looked on in disgust and fascination as the hot dog eating contest in Coney Island unfurled before us on live TV. We had a lot of laughs wise-cracking about what we saw. Had it not been 96 degrees, we would have stayed a little longer, but free admission, cold beer, a great hot dog, and the crack of a ball against a wooden bat made for a few great hours. Happy 4th of July to all Yelpers!

I don't think anything says "Hartford" better than grabbing some local bites and heading over to a game. As a few reviews have mentioned, parking can be a bit tough but it's good to see they're working on some new lots for all the traffic. I think pretty much every seat is a good one, but this time I was sat in the yard goats club! Great views and comfy seats for sure. All of the staff are always super helpful and engaging!

The wait staff was working very hard! The young lady taking and bringing order was working very hard and we appreciated her. She had a hand held tablet she was able to take orders with quickly. Great tool for the staff. Another Positive was the popcorn and of course the ball game was great! The adults and kids alike had fun. Manager note. Understand times are hard but the details was what brought the number down to 4 vice 5 stars. Mostly because The food that was provided to the Suites, needs to be stepped up a bit. The food wasn't warm. Imagine room temp hotdogs, chicken strips and French fries being served to guests that purchased 2 suites. Also the vegetable tray didn't come out with ranch dressing so I asked about it and they made due with what the had. They put it in a bowl with a ladle. The other thing that bothered me was the electrical within the elevator. Screws missing and open holes. We had quite a few little kids in our group riding up to the suites and it would have only taken one of them to stick their little fingers in and zap.

There are 2 different lines, 1 for essential workers, priority and then a standard community line. The staff comes to your window before you go in and radio in the information of those testing with your ID. If you have an appt. they have your information in the system and print out the info on your vile. When it is your turn, you drive into the tent and the staff comes to your window to do the test once you confirm the information on the vile is correct (name, and D.O.B.). They are friendly and the process is quick, so it's not a horrible experience. If needed, they have paperwork to hand you to review the process and information. You don't have to touch anything, just roll your window down and they do the swabbing in your nose and put the swab in a vile and into a separate individual plastic bag for processing. Once you're done, they open the door and you can drive out of the tent. Your results come later via the contact information you provided.

That being said, I'd try to avoid this place in the future if I could. With multiple ways in and out of here, it was with great surprise that the police blocked all but 1 way in. I'm sure they have a logical reason for doing that but it made it so the were massive jams trying to get from 84 to the parking. Then, they rely on the actual traffic lights to move the flow of traffic instead of manually controlling it. It was a massive cluster F. I was about 2 hours ahead of kickoff when I got off the highway and spent about 50 mins to go a mile. The parking at the venue was $30 and I had prepaid but they did also take cash on site. This lead to even more delays trying to park as the attendants had to make change and run credit cards. They have a bunch of grassy fields in the back which worked ok except for the torrential downpours making the fields flood (bring you boots if it's raining). The stadium itself was ok with the highlight for me being the food and beverage. They had a nice selection of local craft beer and the food was as good as you can get at a venue like this. If the food was bad this would be a 1 star review. There also isn't much cover on the concourse so pre match everyone was crowded into small areas trying to stay dry. Getting out was equally as bad except this time they use all the routes in and out. Great, except when it sends you 4 miles in the opposite direction because you just happened to get into that row. It seems like locals/uconn folks know the secrets but as a one and done visitor it was painful. Overall, decent stadium with a decent food experience but getting in and out is poorly organized. Try to get there early and maybe even leave a bit early to beat the nonsense.
