I recently went to a semipro boxing match there and the experience was ok. The arena wasn't to crowded so the temperature was just fine. The seating was ok (not the most comfortable) but bearable. The grand foyer is kinda small so its tough getting in and out of the arena. Its kinda old and outdated compared to other arenas in the area.

Having been involved in many higher education conference, training and education facilities, I feel that I am an expert. Through my professional and volunteer experiences, my credentials include being very active in the SigEp Fraternity, Student Government Association, and Interfraternity Council at UNC CHARLOTTE, serving as President of the New York Chapter of the Transportation Research Forum, and being a very active member of the American Public Transportation Association, which took me to conferences and meetings at many higher learning institutions including NJIT, the University of Illinois Chicago, the University of South Florida in Tampa, and the Georgia Tech Conference Center in Atlanta. I have also been to many convention centers and hotel and commercial meeting rooms. Without knowing the pricing, but assuming the NC State McKimmon Center is competitive, I have to say that the facilities are nice and seem to be a good bet for any conference, training exercise, or meeting. The facility has a very nice academic feel while still being inviting to industry, students, and people attending seminars, like me. It strikes a good balance between a professional conference environment and a welcoming campus atmosphere.

Since it's university-owned, I understand that they want to be cost-conscious but it's just not anything that would attract a major conference with an expo. The breakfast and lunch provided were pretty pedestrian, and it would have been nice to have soft drinks other than ice tea. I suppose that's all negotiated in the meeting contracts.

Trying to get into the concert was very hard as the traffic was terrible & there was no one directing traffic nearby. We were in traffic for an extended period of time and the cost to park was expensive. Going to the football games was a more organized experience. There were a lot of employees in place.

Oddly enough, I think this was our first trip to this stadium. I'm only rating it for the concert…read morewe attended of course, not a sporting event. Lots of food and beverage options, a clean facility, but that parking cost is just absolutely ridiculous! Guess they have a captive audience so they are seizing that moment but man, never again. $65 to park in a field and trek through mud. No thanks.

Decided to come here because this is only 3 hours away from where I currently reside in SC, and was easy to get to via 95. We did also stay overnight at the home 2 suites by hilton in Raleigh, which was 10 minutes away and was closeby. There are also other hotels via walkable distance too! Lenovo Center is a venue that has concerts, and hockey games (home of the carolina hurricanes!), as well as other events. We didn't use it, but inside they had food and bars, plus places to get soda or water. Oh, and one can get a water here and the consumer keeps the cap! Loved that. There was parking here, and it can be a hike, but found it easy to go back the way we came, and getting in and out of the place. We did pay for parking, but it might have been a special event thing. Anyways, easy to get in the venue, clean, organized, staff was pleasant. Had 2 places to buy merch, line moved fast. The view from our seats were close to the stage and one can see the catwalk that they had too! Think Nick Smiled at me! lol Loved the concert- great sound system! Oh, and restrooms were clean when we used them when the concert ended. Loved and enjoyed the concert, and hope to be back here soon for another Jobros one, and maybe a hockey game, but Let's Go Rangers!

On the other side of the concession stand, to the left of the entrance is an open rink (could be used for basketball, hockey or the like), where some very close friends of mine and I played rounds of "pro" dodgeball (in the style of pro-dodgeball) until we got to the tournament round and the best team won! Yes, that was the team I played on, mind you, I had about 4 pretty tough guys playing with the two of us ladies that were on the team. I managed to "dodge,dip, duck, dive & dodge" the ball as the pre-training from the movie "Dodgeball" emphasizes. It was a fun time with a great group of people, if you're so brave as schedule yourselves in there and play dodgeball or anything in a team atmosphere, go for it, its an awesome place.

There's ample parking, a snack shack, and courts to the right and left. When I've attended, pretty much every court is in play -- soccer, hockey, and volleyball. You can register a team for a fee and they organize the match-ups for a season's worth of games (a few months). But be warned that some of their games can be scheduled as late as 11pm.
