Went here to see Los Temerarios and really wish they would have chosen a different venue. Parking was terrible (worst we have experienced at this type of venue). Officer told us parking was full, yet most paved spots were empty (!!) It was raining when we went and it was all muddy. Cars were getting stuck. Seats are not comfortable for bigger people. They closed down bathrooms before the concert ended. They can do better. read more

Payne Arena - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Hidalgo, Texas

They deleted the posts and blocked me from telling the truth. They're packing us all in together and aren't practicing social distancing. They make it appear that the cars will be spaced apart, but they parked two cars around me and claimed they have every right. There is still open spots. DECEIVING MARKETING TO MAKE MONEY!!! We bought the tickets because the picture online clearly shows in detail an open parking space between every car. If we knew that we would be so close, we would have never bought our tickets. read more

The Rio Grande Valleys local arena. Serves as our primary venue for hosting major events and class act entertainment! The fact that the arena is a medium sized arena means that all seats get a great view of the venue!!!! read more

Friendly staff I went there for a graduation and they take really made sure everything was clean. Really good people.

This is my first time visiting the State Farm Arena and I found it an enjoyable experience. It was formerly the Dodge Arena until Feb. 4, 2010. Something for your next jeopardy question, "Allen Jackson was first concert to play." We had great floor seats but the folding chairs weren't as comfortable as I hoped. We were practically sitting on top of each other. However, to my surprise the pèrson sitting next to me had to leave half way through the concert. Win for us! The Arena feels rather small compared to other arena's I've been too. The arena seats up to 5,500 persons in hockey configuration and 6,800 for concerts. The audio was off occasionally but we still enjoyed the band. I'm thinking the higher seat appeared to be comfortable and possibly the way to go for the next concert. Sitting on the floor was great but our viewing experience was dependent on the person sitting in front of us. Getting out of the parking lot was the normal traffic jam. Lots of people rushing to get out all in the same direction . The security guard was giving it his all and 25 minutes we were on our way home. read more

State Farm Arena used to be called Dodge Arena. That being said, I have noticed NO DIFFERENCE since visiting after the name change. Seats are cheap for most events, and beware sitting too high up as the A/V Crew loves to CRANK UP THE TREBLE! read more

Be very careful if you purchase floor seats. The floor seats are average size folding chairs which cannot contain the usual Valley body habitus. At the recent ZZTop concert, my husband & I were forced to practically sit sideways into each others' laps due to the width of the gentlemen on either side of us. While I don't particularly mind being in my husband's lap, I think it would have been somewhat uncomfortable had I attended the performance with a friend or acquaintance, rather than my spouse of 20+ years. read more
