I live in the Cleveland area and ventured to EJ Thomas Hall this past week. Boy, was it worth the drive! The facility is GORGEOUS and has a very modern flair. They brought in some amazing talent for a very fair price (less than $30 per ticket), and Im sure other venues might charge double for the same type of high-quality performance. Everyone had a blast, and after the concert was over, the venue offered special refreshments to celebrate the evening. The whole audience was engaged, and my husband is still talking about the event to his co-workers days later. He isnt even much of a live music person, so for him to talk about how great a performance was is quite unusual. We were also pleased to find plenty of parking options, including a lot that offers free weekend and evening pricing that is only about 1/2 of a mile from the venue. Also, we were able to take our two children to the event since the venue allows well-behaved, quiet kids. I cant wait for my next trip to EJ Thomas! It was a truly exquisite experience.

This is an excellent place to see a show. Sightlines and acoustics are great, the architecture is very unique. The hall can feel very cozy and intimate with the cieling down and can be a full size 3 tier hall with the cieling up, a very interesting effect. The plaza and fountain are very beautiful.

I like this venue because it is small. There is not a bad seat in the house. The architecture of the building both inside and out is amazing. The parking deck is also very convenient. Helpful staff to answer all questions are posted everywhere.

This is a fantastic sub-venue of The University of Akron. Most universities would give their eye teeth to have this be a part of their campus. I have to add that most of these reviews look contrived in favor of the facility.

Large and really nice concert hall. Unique seating arrangement (you enter only from the sides) means theres no aisles and consequently limited up and down during the show. Sound was great. Parking was very convenient.

Wonderful Venu. The seating is very accommodating. I dont think theres a bad seat in the auditorium. We saw the Moody Blues here, too. It was great. DWTS was awesome!

Seating is horrible. Over priced. If you have to get up to go to the rest room and you are in the middle. Everyone in that row has to stand up

Still a nice place, just hard to navigate thru. Uninformed staff, no one could seem to point me in the right direction. Nice bathrooms though

Very limited wheelchair seating space available (maybe 6 spots) and family members cant even sit next to their handicapped loved one.
