Key Arena

I am the mother of Beverly and mother in law of Brian Mauch. We rented a place for their memorial that only held 400. Over 1000 showed and several cars turned around because the memorial was too full. I have great empathy for the children lost in the fire but to donate the Key Arena for the memorial is wrong. It is paid for by our hard working tax money and I vehemently oppose this idea. They are not more special than my daughter and son in law who were executed by the mad man from Massachuttes.

The most beautiful ball park I've been to. As a matter of fact I've been to only two, the kingdom and this one. It was recently build and not too old. They have a retractable roof and is great because it's next to the water and you have a great view of elliot bay. NOt much of a hassel to find parking because the garage is right next door. The garage is also conected to I-90 so all of eastside people have easy access to the freeway. The mariners are a good team and they can only get better. Have fun!

Key arena is a great events center to go to. It snags the best artists for concerts, is clean and nice, and has a friendly staff. When an artist comes I always hope they come to key arena, because its so comfortable. I also enjoyed riding the monorail to get there from the shopping district. I think its a great tourist attraction for anyone to enjoy.

PROS: staff, price
CONS:

The Key Arena Seattle Center is located in what is known as Seattle Center near the Space Needle. It's a great place to catch the hockey or pro basketball games and also provides a great venue for the concert lovers. The seats don't seem like they are too far away from the action and it's easy to get around and find your seats. I've sat in the luxury boxes and that is the way to go but also the priciest way to go!

I took my daughters to see a Disney on Ice presentation at the Key Arena and I couldn't be happier with the steps the took to make my family feel safe. The place is huge but the seats were comfortable enough. It was everything I expected. My only gripe would the be the consession prices, but those are high just about anywhere you go.

Key Arena is a great size venue for a concert. It's not too big and not too small. Most of the seats have a good view and the acoustics are good as well. Of course parking is quite difficult so I recommend taking the bus.

the key arena is the place for the hockey-goers as well as the basketball goers. it is conveniently located in a place where it is easy to find parking or it is cheap parking. usually, sports centers like the key arena, have such expensive parking rates or just no parking available. the services given such as the food vendors would be rated as "okay". if it wasn't for such long lines of people, then i would rate the services as excellent.

While I think the Key Arena can be a great place to go and see a concert, a basketball game or some other kind of exhibit, I think it also could use a little work. It's very nice in the hallways, and on the outer property, but in the stadium area itself, the chairs are uncomfortable and they aren't laid out in the easiest manner to move about between them. The suites are great, but not every has access to them. So, for the huddled masses, I would suggest only going when you get cheap tickets, and don't mind being crowded or uncomfortable by the time you leave!

Although the parking isnt the greatest.. Key Arena is still a cool place to check out a Sonics game or even a concert.. Great seating and polite staff.. Check it out!

I love this place the bands, bumpershoot and a great neighborhood to boot. I am not a big basketball fan but no Seattlite should miss our home team press the hardwood. Ample parking good will call. I also have had the chance to work this venue and would say that the concessions are top notch.

As a former owner of courtside seats and a Seattle taxpayer I can understand why everyone needs to visit this place as much as possible. We paid for it and will pay for it until the free range mochas come home. It is nice to know that we paid for top notch facilities for our rich pampered sports stars. Why not get your money back and see some of the great events this place has to offer. It is located in a great neighborhood.

A fine place to watch the Supersonics. However, a crappy place to watch any type of concert. From almost any seat, the sounds--particularly vocals--are muddled.
