    Nice arena for hockey

    Watched the Condors play and the crowd was all into the game. I really enjoy moments when the sporting event takes over the crowd. A very good hockey game/match, well played. good seats at a reasonable price. $42.00 wasn't bad to have a good time

    Nice Place to watch the Condors

    This is a pretty nice arena for Bakersfield. I think the concessions and seats are pretty nice. It is fairly intimate so most seats are pretty good. Not much more to ask for from a convention center!
