The place for a night out on the (midsized midwest) city. Elliot Hall of Music has brought the biggest names to the cornfields for years. It continues to play along with all the Purdue bands, local orchestras, and 101.3 WBAA Radio. I was most recently here for Casting Crowns and despite being nearly at the back on the first floor was still blown away by the volume and energy on stage. Parking does get frantic on big performances so best to arrive early or go in the garage on Northwestern. The 6,005 seats do a good job and theres enough room all over for everyone. My only complaint is the distance to bathrooms and drinking fountains - awkward oversight for a place this grand. Elliot is probably the only roof in the world to look down on a bunch of college kids taking exams and Lady Gaga.

Terrible acoustics. You can literally hear some minor reverberates in performances. If you have ever been to a nice theatre, concert hall or opera house and come here for a performance, you will miss the crisp, clean sound. Acoustics are still tolerable for musicals or rock concerts, but terrible for events like the concert given by St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, when you can clearly feel the unbalance from different parts of the orchestra. Just think about a piano concerto where you need to try hard to hear the sound of the piano.

Gorgeous theater that ranks as one of the nations top venues. Larger than Radio City Music Hall. Home of Purdue convocations, booking a variety of internationally touring opera companies, musicals, symphonies, and modern music. WBAA radio is in the basement. Lot parking for events and a parking garage are both just two blocks away.

While Elliot Hall of Music serves as a great venue to host large audiences, the interior of the theatre continues to show its age with each passing year compared to other new local theatres like the Palladium in Carmel, IN. However, the site continues to host a plethora of exciting and interesting convocations.

I hate this place. Most of my visits were because I had an exam there. They say its one of the biggest auditoriums in the US or something like that, I say its the worst. I mean the seats are pretty f***ing bad. Sorry Purdue.

This is a great music hall for events and convocations. The acoustics are great so anywhere you sit you can hear clearly. I have been to this hall on many occasions and each time it is a great new experience.

Elliott is a great location to catch a show, concert, or play. I have never been disappointed in our location and the ability to enjoy the performance no matter the seats.

Sits are comfortable but avoid the balcony seats, they can be a tad cramped. Events are great here and the place is beautiful.

Fantastic venue, easy in and out but no elevator. There is a handicapped entrance on the right hand side of the building.

Very good theater, however the balcony seats can make it somewhat hard to see the stage, based on how they are staggered.

As far as I saw water and bathroom only on the ground floor. But other than that cool place, perfect for the conference.

Also serves as the home of the Purdue Bands and Orchestra Department, the heartbeat of Purdue University

The shows here are always great, but the Hall could stand to improve their acoustics.
