4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2013 NEW

Events were very orgazinized...parking is a bit challenging as I was with a handicap person and there were not enough handicap spaces. Ticket lines were short/quick. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Have been many times to many different events. The facility is large enough to handle huge crowds.

A very beautiful place. The lay out was perfect for the event and very organized. Plenty of parking too. Staff was friendly, the bathrooms were very clean too.

Attended my granddaughter's cheerleading competition there this past weekend. Very easy to find and just a short drive from our oceanfront hotel. This is a very nice facility.

Easy access, free parking, modern & clean. No free wi-fi; no outside food or drinks allowed--typical $8 hamburgers, etc. at concessions, with some fresher-type selections like salads and fruit, which sold out.

Attended a junior cheerleading competition here that my granddaughter was competing in. The facility is nice, well designed, with good free-parking. However, everything was overpriced, they charged $16/person a day to enter, and the food was almost “theater” priced. Also the people working there were rude, I realize they were dealing with a chaotic crowd but they were not doing... More

Good location for an expo with plenty of space for vendors, packet pick up and such. There were other events being held at the convention center, but they were in different parts of the center and didn't seem to overlap (dispite me not picking up my material until 7:30 pm). The building is architecturally pleasing but may seem a bit... More

This is a brand new convention center and architecturally pleasing. During our visit which was for a gymnastics competiton there were also a gun show and a coin show running simultaneously, yet the three events never seemed to overlap, fortunately.

The Place was clean when I went some years ago, and there were plenty of brochures and coupon books for the area.

For a building that the city torn down the previous building to replace, you would expect something better. It's just a big open space without "flow". I have attended several other occassions just as craft fairs, etc. and just not impressed.
