Saw a hockey game here and was very surprised with the quality of the venue. It looks like they just got a new jumbotron and the viewpounts seem to be very good all around. The only bad things are the concourses are way to tiny, walking around in-between periods was almost impossible and the lines for food were also too long. Also it took 5times longer to get into this arena then any other arena ive been too. People scanning tickets were extremely slow lines to get in were out the door.

I saw the jeff dunham show.he and his puppets are awsome! We had 6th row floor seats. We were crammed tighter than sardines sitting in folding card table syle chairs the chairs were crammed tight together leaving NO room to move! I could not even clap my hands i had to sit with my arms crossed and legs and knees tight together my back and but hurt realy bad during the two hour show .Ill bet they made some cash!

Extremely rude, Head of Security Person! Was not allowed to save seats for my family at Bonny Eagles Graduation Ceremony, 6/3/16. Yelling when he could have explained in a civilized manner. Rude, Rude, Rude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got there before family so we could sit together, had elderly parents and just wanted to sit together but you would have thought we committed a crime by saving seats.

Parking was extremely inconvenient and extremely expensive. Seating was very uncomfortable. If it wasnt for the graduation ceremony I would not have gone there. I only went because of the Grand daughter. I would never go there for an event sports or otherwise. Portland is a rip off for parking if you have to go downtown. It is a little Boston. Liberal tax and spend. Thanks Ethan.

Maines largest venue for public events, CCCC offers fairly comfortable seating and almost no bad seat in the house. Food & drink are as pricey as in any other venue, and my only real complaint is the lack of adequate bathroom facilities for large crowds.

A dull 70s-era arena, former home of the defunct Portland Pirates hockey team. Downtown Portland would be better off without it (and so would the taxpayers who pay millions of dollars every year to subsidize its pointless existence).

The Cumberland County Civic Center is and has always been a Great Place to have a Concert.. A Few Thousands Fans Rocking Out. Always had a Great Time weather it be Why i was working there or at Play. :)

The Androscoggin Bank Colisee is better for hockey and concerts. Id rather watch the LA Fighting Spirit Junior hockey team than Pirates quite frankly! You can get rowdy and arena is comfortable!

Went to the UNE graduation. Security wouldnt let elderly people bring bottles of water in, because they had their concession stands open... at a graduation. Water should be a basic human right.

We did hundreds of concerts in that venue back in the seventies and eighties this is the venue Jackson Browne composed the Load-Out song and asked me if it was okay if we took his piano last

A bland area, no big sports teams after the Pirates skipped town. All the big bands go to the waterfront now, all the small bands go to the much better State Theater.

I had a good time filming/live streaming BEHS graduation. Good thing we were using the jumbotron, other than that not sure if people would be able to see anything.

Jerry Garcia

Worst upgrade ... Should have built a new one. Too many seats in a row, I am 63 was very hard to sit in the seat. Sound is great. Less bathrooms now also.

WILL NEVER attend another event here....the management will not allow police officers to carry their weapons on them while working the event. Gross.

Bob Healey

No mosh pits. Assigned seating. Everyone is a seat nazi. Cant have fun at all. Wasted time and money. Cant even get rowdy

Mike White

Bring in some musical groups/ rock concerts. You upgraded, now show us. There should be events going on more often.

Loved seeing a concert here! It was great to be so close to the stage even at a lower price point. :)

Gerald Parlin

Never had any issues here weather it was a dane cook show or a concert. Always had a great time.

Typical arena in a city, home to the Pirates and the Red Claws.
