I wanted to give an updated review based on an event the BMO Center and Rockford IceHogs just…read morehosted: the AHL All-Star Classic. This event was arguably the most fun I've had a hockey game EVER. The IceHogs & BMO staff did a great job managing the sold out crowd both nights of the classic. From opening the doors early to limiting capacity within the team store, I think they ran the event smoothly and professionally. The concessions staff did a great job too with having the lines move quickly. I also need to give a shout-out to all of the promotions and corporate partners tabling at this event. They did great with having staff greeting fans for the event and giving them swag to remember the experience. My favorite part was getting red heart Bubl'r glasses, which matched the event theming so well. There was also a huge table for everyone to make signs to cheer on their favorite all stars.

This is a great spot to catch Icehog Hockey! Every view in the house is a good view... except maybe…read morethe end zone when the Hogs are shooting on the opposite side. The tickets are affordable and especially if you wait until the day of to grab some discounted tickets. The food is overpriced, like all stadiums, but there are plenty of specials throughout the season to offset some of the costs. I recommend the BBQ counter by the balcony, which has meals with fries for $14. They are also great about having the local hockey clubs bring their kids on the ice. The product isn't the best, but you might catch some future NHLers, so it's worth stopping by.

It was only $15 to park in the garage and there were staff in the street directing traffic into the parking garage and helping people cross the street from the parking garage to the theater. The theater itself is very decorative and kept clean. All the staff were very friendly. The bathrooms are on the lower level. We sat in the lower balcony and it had a very good view of the stage. They don't allow outside food, and there is a quick security check prior to coming in. We came here for the Josh Gates show which was entertaining and it was nice to see a broad range of ages there to enjoy seeing Josh Gates in person.

If that isn't too much fun for you, head down on Saturday for FREE music. Saturday boasts a night full of good, local music & delicious food/drink for purchase on the South Lawn. It's fun to sit by the river & enjoy live music for FREE. I can't wait to hang out at Davis Park every weekend to watch some fun movies & listen to even better music.

Everything about this place works together to make you want to return again and again. First of all, it's a live music spot. And that's the focus of everything. But what a spot! Great comfy seats, not a bad spot in the place! The music is never too loud, but it's not so soft you think you're watching TV at your grandpa's place. The bands are generally cover bands, but the owners go to great lengths to find only the most professional cover bands. We've seen impeccable renditions of the Eagles, Supertramp, Allman Brothers, Rolling Stones, Styx, and more! There have been no disappointments yet. Still to come this summer: Chicago and Journey. Yes, I'd rather see the originals, but let's face it - half the bands we love are so old now they'd rather be doing what we're doing: enjoying our retirement. So leave it to the next generation of talented musicians to grab these charts and start wowing us with their ability to rock! You WILL love this place. From the free bottle of water when you arrive to the freshly baked cookies at intermission to the Dove bars as you exit. The owners greet you at the door and their ticket guarantee is unmatched -- have to cancel your seats for the show? They will give you credit to another show, no questions asked!

I recommend bringing a lawn chair to sit on. They do have a few stadium style seats on the right side but it's recommend to have your own. There is one thing I want to say, please be respectful and bring a small chair, there is limited seating and it's flat. I've been a few times and there is always someone with an obnoxiously oversized chair that makes it hard for people behind them to see. Before the show you can get delicious farm fresh food from Enos Farm. I look forward to their tacos every show! You can also enjoy a cold beer, or wine, but make sure to bring cash as its cash only and no ATM on site. We always have a great time and are loo forward to going back each year!
