“Very clean and well organized arena”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2013

We frequent the XL center for hockey games, concerts, and expos. It is always a good experience. The staff are all very helpful and friendly. Concerts can be tough for getting in and out and parking but we park at the lots at few blocks away and walk to the center to avoid the traffic. Set in downtown Hartford, it is located near many great restaurants and bars.

“A Big East trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013

This place knows how to treat their visitors. I was there for the Big East Women's Basketball championship again and loved. They email me a gave me an option of selecting my seat before the tickets went on sale. I ate at the Comcast Coliseum Club Restaurant and Bar all five days and it was a very good experience. There was a parking garage at the Hilton that connects to the XL Center. You will love your visit.

“Okay Arena”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 4, 2013

Nothing great about it but nothing terrible. My girlfriend said the line for women's line was terrible and that the toilets were overflowing and they ran out of toilet paper which caused her to miss George Strait come out on stage to begin his show

“Concert at XL Center February 23, 2013”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

Attended George Strait concert - arrived 1.5 hrs early to find grid locked streets, no police intervention. Took over an hour to go 5 blocks. Parking was full by the time we reached the center. One entrance into the facility with all 15,000 people in the lobby to pass by 6 security lines. Once in the stadium still could not move. Fire hazard waiting to happen. Concert setup was good, acoustics great. Hopefully all shows do not run this way - many fellow concert goers agreed they would probably not return. We left early to avoid the repeat 3 hour exidous.
