I also love how every seat in the house feels super close to the action and has a great view of the stage.

My first time at this stadium and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Went there for the US open and even…read morethough it was the first round, the place was packed. Getting there does require a bit of walking as we ended up parking at the Skyview Mall and it was about a 20 minute walk from there. There is an LRR station right next to it, so if you come via train it would be much shorter. Security was a breeze and once you enter, it is more like a Universal Studios experience with several corporate enclosures that give you an immersive experience. We tried the Amex enclosure and there were plenty of activities inside including personalized tennis balls, Virtual table Tennis and even a tennis game video recording. We enjoyed the experience so much that forgot we were here to see a tennis match. After getting to the stadium itself, it was as if a festival was going on as more people were lined up at the food enclosures rather than the match itself. We saw a ladies singles where Jasmine Paolini was playing against Aiava, Destanee, none of whom I had heard of. It was a straight forward match with Paolini winning in straight sets. The main event was Medvedev vs a very unknown Benjamin Bonzi and what a match it turned out to be. Firrst of all most of the support was for Medvedev, but Bonzi ended up winning the first two sets. As he was serving for the match on a second serve, out of nowhere a cameraman walked onto the court. This hot the referee to award Bonzi a first serve, but Medvedev just lost it and created a whole commotion, first with the referee and then with the crowd who was very much behind him at that point. There was so much noise that play stopped for seven minutes as the crowd just roared non stop. This shook Bonzi so much that he ended up losing that set and even the next set 0-6 only to recover and beat Medvedev 6-4 in the final set. He did ended up getting a lot of support after that incident as they all felt sorry for him. It was a historic match, where Medvedev ended up getting fined 42K for his antics. We definitely got our money worth after all that excitement and watching a historic moment. The whole atmosphere, facilities, staff, stadium, cleanliness food was excellent.

Stadium is a decent size & for the most part it served it's purpose for the viewing party which was not bad. They had some entertainment although the mini concert didn't happen artist did not show up. they did have like a celebrity soccer match which was not bad, ronaldino was the main guy it was decent to watch. Stadium wise it's nice, good set up they have activities u can participate in, shops & food, although u may want to avoid getting anything here prices are so ridiculous, I was dying of thirst so I grabbed a coke , it was $7.50 , jesus crist talk about a rip off ! water was $7 & don't even get me started on the cocktail & beer prices wow such grossly overpriced food is unnecessary! Free events are great since u can at least get to participate in the activities but additional spending at the stadium can be extremely overboard so I would keep that in mind when attending anything at these stadiums.

This was our first trip to the US Open in 2025. Although we read how easy it is to take the subway…read moreto the Open, we opted for an Uber. There wasn't a clearly marked spot to drop us off and so we walked a bit, and we ended up walking right past the station. It was directly across the bridge. So, definitely, take the subway next time. We made a reservation at Champions restaurant, but (Scam - they take your credit card for a reservation even though only courtside tickets are allowed to dine here) we were not able to eat there. I didn't like how we had to wait to get past the gates, they hold you there until after 6pm for the evening matches. Then, of course, the crowd rushes for the food, the bathrooms, and the shops and as a result, you can't do much of anything. Still, I had a delicious lobster roll from the food kiosks (Red Hook Lobster Pound). Inside Arthur Ashe, the seating was great, there were plenty of bathrooms and food options, and with the screens, you could see everything. What I didn't like, was the constant seat switching by people trying to get better seats. I suppose this happens at stadiums everywhere, but since you are supposed to be in your seat for play to start, this was so annoying to see people going up and down the stairs. Still, we got to see some great tennis, and the vibes here are great. It took forever to get to the ride share pickup (this needs better signage) and we walked quite a ways in the dark.

We took a…read moreLyft to the stadium and the ride share drop off / parking lot is a bit of a walk to the actual stadium. However they do offer a courtesy shuttle which I thought was nice. Security was quick and easy to get through especially considering the large crowds. The US Open village really is as cool as they say. Lots of Us open swag for sale and corporate sponsor pop ups (saw a lot from Chase in particular). If you leave the game you can always watch the match from one or the several television screens outside too. I thought the food options weee excellent. I saw lots of high end restaurants lile Coqadoq and FUKU and Eataly. Not your run of the mill fast food. It's very pricey though($8 for a soda). Don't believe they permit outside food. Inside the stadium itself, ithe seats were clean. Not super comfortable but pretty standard stadium seats . I liked how before the start of the game they televised the player rules. As someone who doesn't follow tennis closely this was a nice refresh. I'm not sure that I've seen this at other sports games I've been to. All in all I enjoyed my experience at Asher Ashe. I can't believe it's taken me this long to visit.

Suite/ Club Seats Review!!…read more My experience at Yankee Stadium was a GREAT one! We went to an afternoon game and had the privilege of experiencing the club level suite, and honestly, it was a 10/10 experience! Everything was seamless from the moment we arrived, from security and check in to getting our wristbands and entering the suite. Upstairs, it was more of a formal sit down dining experience with SO many food options. We're talking tacos, lobster tails, French toast with fresh berries. There was truly something for everyone! Downstairs was more relaxed and had many of the same options, plus even more. Burgers, hot dogs, sushi, a candy bar, ice cream with warm cookies. The list goes on! And it doesn't stop there. Outside in the club seats, there's another menu where you can order food and have it brought right to your seat, and it's included with your ticket! Everything is included except beer and wine. There are also coolers stocked with soda and water that you can grab whenever you want, plus peanuts. The staff constantly comes around to check on you, take orders, and bring drinks. Everyone we encountered was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The only con is THE SUN! If you're going to an afternoon game on a hot day, be prepared because there is absolutely no shade. You WILL feel that sun! But the pro is that you're sitting close to the players and right in the middle of all the action, so the experience is hard to beat. We also lucked up with a little extra bonus because the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were in town to play the Jets, so some of the players were at the game. We even got to see Baker Mayfield, which was pretty sweet! And because celebrities are often in the suites, that's another fun perk to keep in mind. The food was AMAZING, the service was excellent, and the entire experience was worth every penny. If you've been on the fence about splurging on club seats and getting that suite experience at Yankee Stadium, JUST GO FOR IT! You won't regret it. 10/10. Absolutely worth it!

They even clean their pens between visitors! I'd never been to this theater before but it was a really magical experience -- literally! New Orleans voodoo style. I recently read the book "in the garden of good and evil" (i think that's the name) and that book gave me a whole new appreciation for this inventive tarot art experience. Garden of Eden is an immersive art experience with a dab of museum, a dollop of that really cool crazy aunt/grandmother's house, a spoonful of voodoo, a sprinkle of theater, a dash of fortune telling, and a splash of other world halloween creepies. While the price tag may seem hefty, remember you are supporting a wide variety of professionals and keeping alive theater during the economic crush of covid. Please keep in mind this space is not optimized for people with mobility needs. There are stairs and narrow passages. Also this space is not a good fit for children. It's really meant to be for people who are comfortable carefully maneuvering around tight spots and being gentle with their surroundings.

Prudential Center has never needed Manhattan's mythology to make an impression; some of my most…read morememorable nights in an arena have happened across the Hudson in Newark. The location does not have the gravitational pull of Madison Square Garden, but once you get there, the building is excellent: modern, well-maintained, and easy to navigate. Newark Penn Station is only a short walk away, and NJ Transit is usually a very workable option from Manhattan. You do have to respect weekday commuter traffic, because Penn Station at rush hour can become overwhelming remarkably quickly. Bruce Springsteen gave me perhaps the most quintessential New Jersey experience I have ever had. I was gifted a ticket way up in the nosebleeds with an obstructed view literally behind the stage, and I could not have cared less once the show started. I am definitely a fan, and seeing this New Jersey legend perform in the motherland, surrounded by all that loyalty, pride, and unmistakable Jersey energy, was genuinely magical and inspiring. As a non native, that night brought me closer to a state that can sometimes be misunderstood or lazily judged from the outside, but whose identity and loyalty are a huge part of what makes New Jersey so charming to me. Nothing, however, compares with seeing the Rolling Stones here on back-to-back nights. The Stones are absolute royalty to me, and I spent several hundred dollars per ticket to see them twice, which probably says more than anything about how meaningful those shows were. Watching Mick Jagger command an arena with that level of charisma, physical energy, and presence was one of the great live entertainment experiences of my life. I felt genuinely blessed to be there. Unfortunately, the first Stones night became chaotic before we even left Manhattan. When we reached Penn Station, NJ Transit service toward Newark was already stopped because of an accident on the tracks, so we scrambled downtown and took the PATH instead. We missed the first song or 2, which was painful after spending that much on the tickets, but once we got inside, the stress disappeared. Thankfully, night 2 was far easier and gave me the chance to absorb the entire show from beginning to end. Hockey gives me another reason to have a soft spot for this building because I have always respected the Devils as a franchise. Scott Stevens, Martin Brodeur, Patrik Elias, Scott Niedermayer, Claude Lemieux (RIP), and Ken Daneyko are among the players I have revered over the years, along with Zach Parise, Scott Gomez, and Jason Arnott. That history gives attending a Devils game more meaning to me than simply dropping into another NHL arena. The sightlines are strong, the food is solid, and the crowd has a grounded local personality that fits the franchise perfectly. Operationally, Prudential Center gets a lot right. The building feels cared for, getting around inside is straightforward, and public transit is the obvious choice when service is behaving normally. A cab or Uber from Manhattan works too, although the tunnel costs and pricing premium show up immediately. The people and overall vibe also feel more down-to-earth, which I have always appreciated about coming here. Living in Philadelphia now has given me a wider appreciation for the outstanding collection of city arenas across New York, North Jersey, and Philadelphia. MSG, Barclays Center, Prudential Center, and Philadelphia's arena are all excellent in different ways, with access, pricing, and surrounding environment creating most of the separation between them, and I would love to experience UBS Arena someday too. Prudential Center has given me the Devils, an unforgettable night with The Boss, and 2 extraordinary nights with the Rolling Stones. I am deeply grateful that a building I once thought of primarily as the Devils' home became the setting for some of the most meaningful live music experiences of my life.

GRADUATION CEREMONY VENUE REVIEW:…read more With it being graduation season, this is a review of Prudential Center as a commencement ceremony venue. Because of preparations for FIFA World Cup 2026, many schools that would have held their graduation ceremonies at MetLife Stadium have changed locations this year. I attended a commencement at Prudential Center last week. Here are my pros, cons, and heads-ups for anyone going to 'The Rock' for a graduation ceremony for the first time. Pros: - it's an indoor arena, so inclement weather be damned - it's climate controlled, so take that summer heat and humidity! - high resolution projection screens; real-time video projection images are so sharp and clear - audio is great inside Prudential Center, so you can actually hear speakers clearly and graduates' name - comfortable seats imo - good concession stands - cute photo ops inside the arena Cons: - traffic getting into downtown Newark can be horrendous; that's just how it is so allot extra time for travel Heads-up: - If you are driving to Prudential Center, know you will be spending money to park if you want to be close to the venue. - Make sure to read Prudential Center's bag policy so you won't be stopped at security and told to use a locker if your bag is too big.
