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.

Of course I am going to rate the friendly confines of the Carter 5 stars as I have been attending…read moresince '00! (P. Rivers freshman year) On this day, actually night, 7pm kick, it was a good night to evaluate this venue. Through the years the University has done an adequate job adding, enclosing, building, and ultimately enhancing the fan experience. It only seats a modest 55k, but there is not a bad seat in the house, and it is raucous. It definitely was on this Saturday night, partially because they debuted a light show that was awesome. Concessions have come a long way too, with the addition of food trucks and alcohol service. One caveat, be prepared to pay with credit, no cash accepted. On a personal note, I attended with one of my BFF's who I had not seen since he attended the Demon Deacons game in November '18. Suffice it to say, this experience was so much better than the aforementioned. (A member of my party at '18 game who was sooo inebriated, insolent, and a total embarrassment. She has been summarily dispatched). Also, we won on Saturday, unlike in '18. If you get a chance to run with the wolves at the Carter check them out.

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!

The arena was clean. I am amazed that the parking was free, the tickets were only $10, and all prices went to the Hurricanes Foundation. Had a blast, the money went to charity, and to cap it all of the Canes won! Great time, recommended.

Very nice! Suite seats are awesome!…read more My daughter and I visited the center a few weeks ago for the young boy NBA concert. We sat in the suites section. I wasn't really sure how the seats were positioned but these were awesome seats! Kind of like bar seating without the service or conference room vibes with a long table not a round table. We really didn't have to get up at all and eventhough we didn't have an attendant or anything the food and drink were readily available just a few steps away along with the restrooms. We didn't have to worry about any crowd pushing and shoving or anything these seats were awesome I also attended this venue earlier in the year for March Madness and my husband and I sat in the seats down below regular seating and it was a bit tight for us but manageable. Nevertheless the parking no issue depending on where you park it can be a hike to get to the center. The lines move pretty fast security and all those checkpoints are pretty straightforward and finding your seat pretty much straightforward. Restrooms tidy! Concessions readily! Both visits for March Madness and a concert 10 out of 10! Have fun and enjoy life :)

When you enter the building, there may…read morebe kids playing soccer on the grass, actually grass like material, then just behind that, there's a hockey game going on, and in the center you have a wonderful concession stand with hotdogs, pizza, soda and other snacks. 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.
