There were plenty of chances to take a picture with Rocky Bluewinkle and the Chick-fil-A cow, which happened to be there that night. I was just disappointed I didn't get to meet Mr. Celery. Too busy with his on-field antics, I guess. In-game host and entertainment were also fun. Adult drinks are quite cheap compared to a MLB ballpark, as are the tickets. Because it's a small stadium, there is not a bad seat in the house! Frawley has your standard ballpark food. Chickie's and Pete's gets pretty busy, so get there early or off peak during the game. 20 minute walk from the Amtrak station on a beautiful trail along the river. It's so easy to visit from out of town.

There are enough security people and ushers to assist you so you shouldn't have any issues.

Visited the Santander Arena this past weekend for an old school hip hop concert. I didn't even know…read morethe arena existed prior to my friend suggested this concert. After this show, I doubt I'd see another show here. The area is conveniently located across from a hotel, which is great if you're traveling to Reading, PA like we were from another city or state. Unfortunately I cannot review the parking situation, because with took a Lyft there. But it seemed like everyone parked away from the arena. All of the staff was extremely friendly. From the attendant that helped us find our seats to the nice lady who sold us the $15 deuce-deuce can I'd Trulys. It's really sad how ridiculous these arena prices arena! The seats at the Santander were horrible. Of course because it's a concert, everybody was dancing and having a great time, but the seats were wobbling and moving more than we were. I felt like I was going to end up in the floor! The sound system wasn't the best either. Most times, the music was completely overpowering the artist. For these two reasons, I doubt I'll be back. But the concert was great!

Unfortunately our table was called up to the buffet line and they were out of six items on the line. I had to wait for 10 minutes before they brought out the food for the six items that were missing no beef no rolls no bacon no salad no fried onions no mushrooms, it was make your own cheesesteak when I asked the woman that called our table. She blamed it on the kitchen. I feel sorry for the chef because the food was exceptional and on point they just did not communicate with the kitchen that they were out of food. The desserts looked lovely, but they ran out before I could get any, it's unfortunate to have point on excellent food and a great chef but the buffet line didn't have the food it was in the kitchen .

I attended a wedding reception at the Chase Center this past weekend and it was fabulous. The venue…read moreis enormous; there were two weddings taking place at the same time and we never crossed paths. There is a huge parking lot and the Center conveniently connects to the Westin Hotel, which was a no-brainer for guests who over indulged at the festivities. There was a separate ballroom for cocktail hour and the actual reception, and it was more than enough space for 180 guests. The main ballroom is beautiful with a large dance floor, bar, and plenty of room for round tables, a DJ stand, dessert bar, etc. The staff had service down to a science. Hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour were continuously replenished, dinner entrees were served one entire table at a time so that no one guest would be left without food, and I never had to wait more than a few minutes at the bar for a drink despite the constant line of guests. What really surprised me about the Chase Center was their catering. You don't hear this often, but the food was AMAZING. The cocktail hour had passed dishes such as bacon wrapped scallops, crab cakes, and pork belly, all of which were extremely popular. The bride and groom also selected the Pan Asian station, which should be at every wedding. It featured chicken skewers, dumplings, tempura shrimp, various sushi rolls, and dipping sauces. I couldn't help myself, it was all so good that I hardly saved room for dinner. My entree was steak "medallions" which were really more like two entire 3 or 4 ounce fillets. They were perfectly cooked delicious. There were also vegetables and mashed potatoes in gravy, and despite being way too full from earlier everyone around me cleared their plates. My only complaints are minor. Those who paid for the wedding were disappointed that they could not box all the leftover food. We understood it's not a restaurant, but if food is completely paid for and prepared and served in-house it shouldn't go in the trash. Also, the staff promptly locked off the bridal suite adjacent to the ballroom after the event ended, leaving bouquets, clothing, and other items belonging to the bridal party stuck inside until the following Monday.

I saw Guns N Roses at Hershey. We were able to get floor/field seats. The acoustics are amazing…read more The employees are great. Then there's the rest.., The stadium is old, the bathrooms are old. Getting out after a concert was next level. We were staying about eight miles away and Ubered to the concert. At 70 minutes we still couldn't get a ride (walking to the outlets). Concessions are limited. Food trucks are overpriced. The concert itself was great and the tickets were competitively priced. It's just entering/exiting logistics that were challenging. Overall it's a great venue to hear the actual show but get ready for delays leaving.

The venue is @ 90 years old and it's obvious…read more The men's bathroom had a significant shortage of sinks. Not sure if they just expect people to not wash theirs hands. The parking across the street is a mess. You have to wind through the county side for miles just to get in despite other entrances they could open. The same when leaving they force you to drive through the back roads for miles just to end up back on the main roads next to the parking field. Crossing the street to get to the venue from parking is a mess. You would think after 90 years they would build a pedestrian bridge or tunnel to and from the venue. Image 10k+ people trying to exit at once and waiting on the light to change. The purse policy was inconsistently being enforced. They could post someone at the crosswalk if they are going to turn people around for small clutch purses to avoid a long way back to the car. Don't foresee me returning to this logistical nightmare.

Tip: This arena is located at Hersheypark…read more Hersheypark Sports Complex contains Giant Center, which is home arena for the Hershey Bears, which is the American Hockey League (AHL) farm team of the Boston Bruins. The Bears have an amazing winning record. Years ago, when the Manitoba Moose (the AHL farm team of the Winnipeg Jets) was making its playoff run, it had a series against the Hershey Bears. Like the passionate hockey fan that I can be, I did a road trip from Markham to Hershey, PA. I also visited the Hershey store while I was in the city. I love Hershey's chocolate, but I was here for the game. I attended game 4 of the playoffs series. I remember speaking to a parking attendant and paying for parking. She said, "Go, Bears!" to me. She didn't realize that my vehicle had a Ontario licence plate and I was likely cheering for the opponent. I don't recall getting any snacks or drinks during the game. I do recall having a decent view of the rink and being sad that the Moose had lost against the Bears in that game. Bears fans are passionate folks. It was nice to see. One of these days, I'll need to return and take in an AHL game. I wasn't on Yelp back then and didn't take a ton of photos. I will next time. (354)

Season Ticket Holder Perspective (Section 104, Row C, Seats 1 & 2)…read more If you're going to do hockey in Hershey, you do it at the Giant Center and my seats (Section 104, Row C, 1 & 2) are chef's kiss for Hershey Bears games. Three rows off the ice means you feel every hit, hear every skate carve, and occasionally get a good "did-I-just-flinch-at-a-puck?" moment. And if you're lucky you might just get a puck! The view straight across the ice is fantastic. Now... the view down toward the far goal on the right? Yeah, no. The distortion from the glass is rough. It's like watching hockey through a funhouse mirror. You'll catch the general idea but don't expect crystal clarity unless the play comes back your way. Sound System for Bears Games: Let me be blunt... it's aggressively loud. Like "why am I being yelled at by speakers during warm-ups?" loud. If you're sensitive to sound, bring earplugs or prepare to be spiritually tackled by the decibel levels. Concerts: This is where the Giant Center gets unpredictable. Most concerts I've seen here suffer from rough acoustics... muddy sound, too much reverb, and vocals that disappear into a void. BUT Trans-Siberian Orchestra on 11/23/25? Shockingly great. Crisp, powerful, balanced. It was the rare show where the sound team actually tamed the concrete cavern. Parking: Oh boy. Getting in and out is a nightmare. It is chaos every single time. Too many lanes funneling into too few exits. Every event at Hershey Park, Hershey Stadium AND the Giant Center all fighting for the same roads. If you come here often, pack patience and maybe a snack for the car. Food & Concessions: Perfectly average venue fare, nothing amazing, definitely nothing healthy, and priced like it's made of truffles and hopes. You're paying for convenience and location, not culinary excellence. Overall: This is our local go-to venue, and I'll always show up for my Bears and the big touring acts. The energy is great, the games are a blast, and concerts can be magical when the sound behaves. But between the parking mess, inconsistent acoustics, and sensory-overload sound levels at games, it's far from perfect. Still... it's Hershey. It's home. And I'll be back in my same seats next week yelling for the Bears.
