    We love the BMO center! Whether it's for the ice hog game or another event, the BMO center does not disappoint! The staff is always professional and affable. They seem to really enjoy working there and it shows the food and beverage is great so selection. It's not crazy expensive like some of the larger areas in the suburbs. seating is fairly comfortable. There's not a seat in the house. We've even attended events on State Street right outside of the BMO. When I grew up, it was the Rockford Metro Center. Excited to share more memories with my family here.

    BMO Harris Bank Center... AKA what was once called the Rockford Metro Centre... AKA The Big Orange Box (because it's Orange. Seriously, it's orange!) Located in downtown Rockford where there is no easy or quick way to get to via any interstate, expressway or bypass. If you are coming from out of town, make sure you schedule extra travel time from the highway to downtown as all the stoplights well pretty much add an extra 20 minute drive time. So be forewarned. Then you get to find parking, which isn't too bad. There are a couple of public parking garages and a regular lot just south of the Center that you can park at. For event parking, be prepared to pay though. Once you finally get there and then get in, the building itself isn't bad. It's just been renovated to add some luxury suits and other high end amenities. However my last visit there for an Icehog's game half of the sinks in the bathroom didn't work. Overall, the rest of the building is your typical Arena. Concessions, booths selling merchandise, and other tables are set up all around the outer ring. There was a section set up in one area that had higher end adult beverages. Hard liquor and even some craft beers... as opposed to the Budweiser, Bud Light, Bud select, Corona and Stella you can get at the various concession stands. Of course these are more expensive than that (at the time of this review) $6.25 Bud aluminum bottle. The staff was friendly, answering questions and helping guide us to our seats and when someone in our area had a medical problem, they were quick to respond. They also were very gracious about helping an elderly gentleman that had problems with the stairs at the game. This is not a Major League sporting arena, but it does a good job for the community it serves. I just wish it was easier to get to and from.

    Location: difficult for out of towners coming from the highway. Not too bad for those that live in the city. Parking garage directly across the street as well as free street parking & paid lots so parking isn't an issue. Best bet for food/drinks nearby before an event is state street (Capri, Social, Kumas, Bamboo, Vintage etc.). Food at facility is standard arena junk food & high priced alcohol. Sound for concerts isn't great. All seats even up high have a pretty good view because it isn't very large. Mostly ice hogs games & county music acts are the big draw here. Occasionally other events turn up.

    There's everything to like here. BMO is a small arena so every seat puts you close to the ice. We bought $14 tickets and our seats were a dozen rows back of the glass. Parking across the street was $5, and although we didnt eat here, food prices were scant compared to a Hawks game at the UC. The best part about seeing a game here is rooting for the next wave Blackhawks. My son and I had a blast here and will definately be back for more. GO HAWKS!

    The IceHogs & BMO staff did a great job managing the sold out crowd both nights of the classic.
