Been here many times for concerts and sporting events. Not a bad seat in the house. Spacious hallways, and above all a pleasant staff (unlike Yankee Stadium). More

Prudential center is a terrific place to take the entire family for concerts, Disney on Ice shows; circus & sport events. Food is typical stadium grub... greasy with no healthy options; but the quality of the entertainment makes up for the crappy food. More

So big, plenty of room to walk around. Very friendly people. Very nicely built. If driving up may want to park 3 blocks down on Mulberry street away from the Prudential Center. Seem very hard to get out after concert. Seem very safe police everywhere. Prices for beer / food seem ok. Parking was cheap. More

It was great to see Bruce Springsteen at the "Rock". Easy to take the trai in as we have before, but this time we drove. Went in early to eat at Don Pepes restaurant a couple blocks away from the Prudential center. Great place, but thats for another review. We used the parking whiz online reservation site. For $12.00 pre-paid... More

The seating is stupid. It only makes sense for SPORTS not SHOWS! idk who came up with this design but they did not do a good job. And if you get the cheap seats, u will be so uncomfortable and in pain when the show is over that it will make u never wanna get another ticket. And the food... More

We really had a great time seeing the Circus here. I really like going to concerts and events here, the staff is the BEST of any convention type place. Seriously, the BEST staff. I lost my phone in the seat last year at a concert and they did everything they could to get it back to me, even staying late... More

I recently went here for a Devils game and was amazed at what a nice facility it is. I sat in section 8 and was shocked that I entered through the Ice Lounge and that there was free food inside. I guess with the price of the ticket, they can offer 'free' food. Anyway, what a nice spot. The arena... More

Wow this is the nicest venue I've evr been to, some of the best fans to. There is a single Gluten-Free hot dog cart that sells Redbridge beer for those who care. You have to look around for it as it's hard to find. More
