    Magnificent view from the sky box during Carl Thomas performance.

    Hospitality was very generous and welcoming. Food was tasteful and the concert was remarkable with the meet and greet.

    Red Wings free watch party at the Soundboard. Includes pizza, hot dogs & pop, also $2 beers. Love this venue!

    Smaller venue that makes concerts feel like they're just for you! We came here for a Gavin DeGraw concert. Online, it's pretty difficult to figure out what the seating arrangement looks like. So we played it safe and got lower level tickets that looked straight on at the stage. A bit pricier but WORTH IT! Even though there was all the standing room in the pit in front of us, we seemed so close still. What it convenient about this venue especially is the bars and restrooms are very close so you are not walking a long way away from the concert taking place. They really thought this venue through when creating it. It's in the middle of the casino by the food court area. There's plenty of signs so it's easy to find. You can park in multiple locations and they are all about the same distance from where you need to go.

    This review is only in regards to a wedding there, although I've been here for a talk before too. One of my friends got married here last night and it was a great time - she was even able to sing a song on the stage. All of the food, waitservice, etc. was top notch as well. The location is pretty easy to find when you enter the lobby of MotorCity Casino, also. The other time I went here was a while ago, when JK Simmons was in town for a talk, and the venue was good for that as well. Overall I'd recommend this venue for weddings, too.

    Sound Board is a smaller music venue at MotorCity Casino. I like the intimate setting and the acoustics are great even from the cheap seats. Seats could be more comfortable. Overall, a wonderful addition to downtown's music scene. I was a regular at Blue Note Jazz Club in Honolulu and Sound Board is the closest to that in Detroit.

    We went to see Marlon Wayans' standup here, and what a great theater! There really isn't a bad seat in the house, though we were up close, they kind of pack you in there. I think next time, I'd go for one of the tables that go around the top. You'd get much more space and still have a great view. I love that it's small - it gives a perfectly intimate feeling, especially for comedy. Honestly, I'd come back here for almost any kind of show - it was so easy to get in and out, parking was a breeze, and it has a modern upscale vibe to it. A great space!

    Went to see Chantè Moore here about a week ago. I love the layout of the concert hall. It feels intimate. The acoustics are incredible. You can hear and see the performance really well. There's a nice bar inside. The parking is not a issue (it's free and plentiful). I would definitely see another concert here.

    One of my new favorite venues! What a great, intimate spot to see a show. I saw Damien Escobar. Outstanding! Can't wait to return.

    Nice small theater. The sound was very good the seats were comfortable and a lot of leg room. The bad there obstructed seating on the sides. Saw Get The Led Out they play Led Zeppelin music but they are not a tribute band the singer made it clear. They were fantastic, if if you like Led Zepp you will probably enjoy them. The ushers were friendly. The ticket takers asked if we had any questions. The entry was easy, quick through a metal detector. Keys, wallet and phone out of your pockets standard stuff. The music memorabilia was pretty cool that was hanging on the walls.

    Tesla w obstructed view.  Center stage is where the drummer is situated.

    Intimate place, but do everything you can not to purchase obstructed view seats. About 1/4 of the upper level seating (see pic), you can only see 1/2 the stage. It sucked. And the camera guys who worked our show, I'm pretty sure they were Speck Howard Interns. We had obstructed view seats in section 250, so we could only see half of the stage. when the singer was on the half we couldn't see, we found ourselves looking up at the screens to see what was going on. The camera's weren't in focus 1/2 the time, or panned too far out to see any real detail. Also the quality of the screen resolution was very poor. You would think that if 1/4 of the seats had to depend on the camera men and screens, you would be on your game for both. Sadly, they were not. although they had 5 bars, you had to wait a considerable amount of time for a drink. You're a casino, and employ thousands of people! Put 1-3 extra people at each bar for the shows! I can't imagine the architect that designed this venue? They must've been high, drunk, or had a beef with Motor City. I would definitely see another show here, as long as I didn't have obstructed view seating.

    I went for red wings fan night, free tickets to watch the game on the big screen. Whole event & venue was first class. Drove in from CLE, free valet parking. Beautiful new-ish casino easy to find in cork town. Walk in to sound board & guess what, the buffet is free for hockey fans! All u can eat chili dogs & pizza. $1 drafts. 16oz drafts!!!!!! It was great. HOF D man Larry Murphy was there signing everything one brought. What a nice guy! Red wings are first class organization. Game started, I watched awhile & headed back to the CLE. Tipped everyone every step of the way but still basically a free big night in Motown. Thanks everybody. The wings will do this once a month with a great alumni & hope I can make them all here. Great venue the sound board concert complex! 5 stars ++++

    This is the view from row HH! Great venue and not a bad seat to be seen!!!
    Robbie F.

    This is a really great venue. The only really obstructed views are on the second story and there are large beams that will block your line of sight. When they say obstructived view, they really mean it. Avoid those if at all possible. Otherwise, if you come here you're in for a treat. The seating is great there's not a bad seat on the first floor anywhere to be seen. Also the labeling of the rows is kind of deceptive. The double letters are still in the first bank of seats. There are viewing screens throughout the facility, so you'll still be able to see no matter where you are. Also there are bars located inside of the area or you can bring in treats from the dessert bar outside of the Sound Board. This is such a chill venue. The staff is super friendly. You'll be so happy that you went. Excellent venue!!!!!

    All seats are good seats!
    Kris F.

    This venue is awesome - not a bad seat in the house. The sound system is top notch. The only issue we had was ushers! They put us in the wrong seats 3 times - Not Kidding!!! Since I ordered the tickets several months earlier I knew my seats were main floor, but not exactly where so they just kept moving us! At any result we missed much of the beginning of the show due to this inefficiency and having to keep getting up to move - in addition it's a small venue and this was irritating to the people around us -- at one point someone asked who the "f" we were - as each time they moved us they moved another couple improperly seated. If I had not missed the first 35 minutes of the show it would have been a 5 rating!

    Purchased tickets for babyface in November. seats are in section Mix 20 row CC. they were the most expensive just wondering does that mean its front row center?

    Not sure if center but close

    I'm in in Section 210 Row D seats 3 and 4. My tickets said OBS but they said those were the best seats. Will I have an obstructed view?!

    Yes! I had the same seat only in the section straight across - Section 250, and I could only see 1/2 the stage. See my review/pics for more detail.

    Our seats were three rows away from the stage, and Chante was extremely engaging with the crowd.

    This is probably one of the nastiest bars I've been into and that says a lot. This place REAKS of…read moremold and mildew and it slaps you in the face right when you enter. I swear the odor is so powerful every breath fills your nose with mold. Everything in here doesn't look like it's been maintained cleaned or dusted in 30 years. There's piles of random items above the drink counter that look like it harbors dust from the 80s. Particles going right in the drink. On top of that they charged $10 at the door. And clearly it's a friends benefit kinda place because in the 45mins we were there we were LITERALLY THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO PAID A DOOR CHARGE!! Now we are sitting at the bar no drink menu no nothing. I order a simple 2 green tea shots and the waitress is like staring at me. And I'm repeating my order and she started making clicking noises with her mouth bopping her head like she tweaking. I ask her how much it will be and completely ignores me. She's definitely giving under the influence vibes. I'm like shouldn't be more than 20 dollars. NO I was charged 25 dollars for 2 green tea shots in a plastic shot cup. 45 mins and we were down 45 dollars place was gross af and the green tea shot tasted like straight sour mix.. The lady never even came back to the end of the bar to ask if we wanted something other than a green tea shot. Just spaced out talking to other bartender. We cut our losses and ran straight for the door Place needs Bar Rescue or a wrecking ball.
