My new favorite place to exercise!!! Beautiful and peaceful.

We love the Hampton Coliseum and wish there was more events here. The arena is always clean and easy to find your seat. You can see the stage from anywhere you sit. Concessions are fairly reasonable. Staff is always outgoing and friendly.

I was there for a blood drive. Cool temperatures but not a bad experience

My family went to see Dirty Dancing tonight at the Coliseum for their pop up drive in theater and we had a great time! Fun outing for couples or families! Well worth the 40 bucks in my personal opinion!

Beautiful presentation on the outside. Sound on the inside was good. Say in 2 sperate locations for the 2 different nights. Nose bleed section was good but one level down, sound was a little better. View was great either way. Staff was helpful, friendly and some very entertaining. They were having a good time with us.

I came here to see Tool on May 10, 2019. First rock concert ever. I had a great view from section T, row , seats 3-5. Looking over the floor seats and close to the stage. The rail didnt obstruct the view at all. It was a great show. Well staffed. By 1030 I couldnt get a beer (not selling/closed) while the show went on til after 11pm. Fun night!

Good place just need the general maintenance done on it

We saw Tool. I mean how can that be bad? As far as staff goes, they were very helpful getting people to their correct seats and from what I saw very friendly. Id imagine its hard to stay in good spirits with that many people needing assistance. Pat down during entrance was professional yet thorough

We were pretty high up and still had a good view of the performers at the Hampton Jazz Fest, we will be back next year. Food and drinks are available for purchase, staff is very helpful. Only pain point is parking,there were no open spaces in the lot so we had to improvise, getting out was a nightmare.

This is one of the smaller places to see a famous show. The seats are ok, and the venue is relatively modern. I would like to see a concert here, as even the farthest seats arent nose bleed ones.

We have been to the Hampton Coliseum many time before. This instance we went for the Monster Jam Show. It was definitely a good time. I think the ventilation needs to be revisited as fans blowing were not enough to keep the exhaust at bay. The facilities were all in seemingly good order. I highly reccomend this Coliseum for your shows.

One if the best indoor arena s in the nation for live music. Friendly staff and amazing sound. Not a bad seat in the house either! Would highly recommend to see your favorite band at Hampton if you get a chance!

Had a blast!!! Event staff were very friendly and the Coliseum was clean. Highly recommend seeing events here.

Always a good time at the mother ship, but, after the show ol Johnny law needs to simmer down a notch. Let people have their fun, yall make a ton of $ when shows like fish are in town. Venue employees also need take heed and respect the desires of the concert fan and patron, and allow that to be the golden standard.

Pop up drive through was very nice, would love for this to continue through fall to have a few scary movies for Halloween and even some fun Christmas movies.

Came for a blood drive..great place

Had a great time at Monster Jam show! Items to purchase were a bit pricey, which was to be expected. I would recommend eating before you get there so you only need to get snacks and drinks. It was easy to get around considering all the people and traffic.

Monster Jam was pretty good for the size of the Coliseum. Ease to my seat and restroom for such a big place is always a plus for me

Have seen many a great show here over many years.

Thank You Dead and Co for a real good time

Beautiful building. Need to get acts into the building so it is not going to waste. Seems like country bands havent minded the older indoor arena. Both Eric Church and Carrie Underwood sounded awesome. So much better than outdoor shows.

I work out here its soo peaceful breezy and you get a view that makes you want to work out longer!

Plenty of parking! Sound system is overkill on loud and not set correctly for audiences. Overall great venue for shows easy entry and departure.

Wow! What a phenomenal venue! I am so happy to have finally gotten to see our show here. Staff was super friendly and there isnt a bad spot in the arena. Drink prices are ridiculous but they are in any venue. We had a great time!

Awesome coliseum! Very well and simply laid out. You are able to see everything from basically anywhere that you are seated. My family and I definitely prefer to sit up in the nosebleed section. We like sitting up high and the ticket seat pricing is much cheaper too!!!

Ive seen many concerts at this venue and its always been top notch service. May 10th of 2019 being the last time I was there to experience Tool live and as usual, it didnt disappoint.

Exceeded expectations for Tool on 10/May/19. The acoustic performance was remarkable. This was one of the best sounding shows I have heard indoors and the climate control was well equipped to handle the 10000 or so occupants, very comfortable with good ingress and egress for the facility. Parking can be a challenge, especially afterwards as the venue is at the end of a street with limited exit options, but there are many hotels in walking distance so that can make the parking lot wait afterwards a non-issue. As far as the seating I would say based on the sound alone there is not a bad seat in the place - but consider the visual aspects of the show prior to ticketing.

Wish they would update our coliseum. The sounds system is not the same making the concert experience suck and the seating could be nicer. All this building up they are doing to Hampton what we have shouldn’t be neglected

Its a dump. But its a beautiful dump! A great place to see a concert.

This arena is a little small for Monster Jam. Trucks were not able to do the stunts that they normally do due to space restrictions. Definitely no back flips! Otherwise great show, well staffed arena.

Threw Facilty Is AvClean, Safe & Friendly Environment

Could not have asked for a better venue for Bass Center XII. Visually stunning, contracted security was so nice, lines were never too long, staff was so sweet and patient. The actual setup is easy to navigate and never feels crowded, so as a GA ticket holder who can move about the venue, we never felt like we were packed in a sardine can. Thank you, Coliseum! Can’t wait to come to more shows here ️

Great place to see a concert! We saw Dead & Company there on 11/9 and there wasnt a bad seat in the house. Free parking and got out of there quickly. Easy to get in and out via Uber or Lyft also.

Because music sounds great in the mothership. Photos from dead and co. 2019

The band we went and saw was awesomeNeeds better food and beer choices we also found it super HOT in there I would think being In Virginia they would have Air Conditioning in the buildingI don’t know if I’d drive that far again to watch a show here

Gave 2 stars because all seats have a good view. You can tell its an older venue. Seating was a little confusing but the workers were very helpful and nice. However, this is not a good location for Monster Jam. I used to take my oldest son all the time when we live in Georgia. Was disappointed in the show here. The trucks didnt have enough room. Only 1 jump in the center. Couldnt hear what was being said. Very dusty. Way over priced for the show you get. Took our son for his birthday. Ended up leaving early. He got bored after awhile and hated the dust. Wouldnt mind attending other events here. But dont waste your time and money on Monster Jam.

Hampton Coliseum is okay. I went to see Disney on Ice there today. The show was pretty good, but not as nice as the show a few years back. I feel the Disney on Ice show I saw before had more skating entertainment while this year the road trip portion of the show was filler material. I could have done without the road trip portion and instead have more skating. You wont be disappointed, but it wont knock your socks off either.

The Hampton Coliseum is and has been a staple in Hampton Roads (more specifically, the Peninsula) for decades, and it is still holding on; providing a quality venue for many events. I attended a graduation for Woodside High School of Newport News, VA, and I have no complaints. The service provided by the staff was good, and the security was solid.

Went to Monster Truck show. Venue was small for these large trucks. Enjoyed the show, grandson had a blast. Long walk from parking lot for a 74 yo.

Im a truck Driver making deliveries to the Coliseum because of Covid 19 its difficult finding anyone on premises..

The parking could have been better

Nice venue for any event; from dead phish heads to rowdy wrestling, even saw a monster truck! And they have a smoking section!!!!

You must experience the Hampton Jazz Festival at the Hampton Coliseum! Always a great show. This year it was old school with Lakeside, Boyz to Men, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly...and all of them still got it!

I and some family friends went to go see the professional bull riding and it was awesome! The only thing that kind of bothered me was that there were lots of P.E.T.A. people there and they were annoying. It was just for this show though and they have many other options other than bull riding, such as monster truck rallies and more. This is an amazing place.

I have only been there for Phish concerts. But for the many many shows Ive seen I give it a five-star. Great views from everywhere smaller Coliseum. Great Sound

Huge place, clean, nice&safe ! Was in there for a few times and each time they exceeded expectations. Last time I went it was for Disney on Ice, prior that was Chris Brown music concert. Every time is something new and not only event planners do the job, but Colosium staff as well ! One star goes down for not having Vending Mashines ! I understand each time different venue&event but you should be able to offer other solutions which are quicker&more afforable to get while in rush !

My Boyfriend Houston and I really enjoyed our Valentines tonight together at the Valentines Jam 2020. All the performers were awesome and did a great job. Musicsoulchild took me back to when I was 17 years old I was rocking him from 17 years old until 40 years old. Im so glad I got to see Musicsoulchild.I love him. The RIC Event Staff and the Hampton Coliseum Staff was very helpful and accommodating to Houston and I with ours seats and making sure we get out of the building safe.Kudos to Hampton Coliseum and I will be returning soon for the Millennium Tour 2020

The Coliseum is a great place for entertainment. Ive seen plenty of concerts, circuses, and ice shows at this venue over the years, starting with Disney on Ice around 1984. Today was a first, as we went to Monster Jam! The staff at the Coliseum are always nice and helpful. They even walk you to your seat! The only reason I didnt give a five star revue is that the seats are a bit small. If you are a bigger person you might be uncomfortable. Other than that, this place is great!

Husbae and I went to the RBRM w/babyface and Next concert in October 2018. The concert was Awesome!! The Coliseum is very nice and the seating was better than most Ive been to. Just sitting next to someone on the floor level wasnt easy bcuz she was a bit thick. We pretty much shared my seat lol.. The parking rows can have better signs, so ull know what row ur in upon leaving the venue. For ppl who purchase floor seats should have discounted drinks/food. Overall, its a nice place to hold concerts. I will continue to attend the HC for future concerts.. 5☆

Went there recently for a graduation. One of the tackiest venues! No one knows anything. I needed handicap seating for my mother and no one knew where it was or how to get there. We eventually just anywhere where my mother very carefully maneuvered a couple of stairs. Train your people whether they are paid or volunteers!!!! Hopefully Jazz Festival attendees are too drunk and happy to care. No matter who is playing here I will not go back to Hampton Coliseum. It needs to be knocked down and completely redone! ***ADA- handicapped people please be advised there is no elevators. You will have wait around for a man on a golf cart outside (even in inclement weather) to come and pick you if you need to go upstairs. The one positive was the incredible attitude and hospitality of the golf cart driver. Make sure to keep him( Tall, mustache, AA male).

We saw Disney on ice. A great place for a show like that. We were so close to the performers we could almost touch them. Parking was easy and free . Easy in and out if you come in from the freeway side.

During the monster jam event, everything was cool. Clean restrooms and clean seats. There were also people helping customers to go to their seats if you couldnt find them.

It has been years since I had last attended an event here. Place has hardly changed since the 80s. Great venue and atmosphere for Dead & Company with the history the Dead have with the Mothership.3 stars only because getting out of the parking lot still sucks.

I grew up in the Tidewater area at the Hampton Coliseum has always been one of my favorite concert and entertainment venues. Its an older Arena but its just a nice place to go for a show and if you have the opportunity you should and many many bands will tell you its one of their favorite places to play

I was here a couple years ago. nice place and nice concert

Went to see #monsterjam! It was amazing!

Monster Jam was spectacular! I hate the high prices however.Always remember your hearing protection folks.

Amazing sound! TOOL was absolutely amazing!

Thank you for the inspirational concerts in commemoration of 400th year of the 1st Africans in North America.

Nice facility for events and very professional staff. Nice amount of room for Virginia Duals.

For a building that has been standing since my earliest years in the military which was home to my training skill and military career. Fort Eustis. Many events have occurred during these years gone past, none Ive attended... Strong it lives on.

THE. HAMPTON. COLISEUM. IS A GREAT PLACE TO GO FOR CONCERTS. EASY ACCESS. THE EVENT STAFF WAS VERY HELPFUL WITH HELPING US FIND OUR SEATS. ! .

Returned to the Mothership and had a great time. Super cool staff, easy to get in and out, lots of free parking.

Jerry, post-coma. windmills.

Saw Phish here ,awesome place for a show !

March 28 29 we will see some of the Best indoor Percussion and Color Guards in the AIA North indoor Championships

Never had a bad experience here. The acoustics could be better though.

Saw Tool at the Hampton Coliseum was amazing! Friendly staff. Very nice town. Recommend! Both the band and the venue!

Always a great time at the coliseum!

Great venue but missing one thing. Ive been here twice for two family events and have always had a good experience. In and out very quickly, good views from anywhere you sit, overall very satisfied. However, I have two young boys and the one thing this place is missing is low urinals. There are a lot of urinals but with my boys we have to wait to use the toilets because they are too short for the urinals. Simple fix in my opinion to make it a five star experience.

On vacation visiting family and friends. My friend and I purchased tickets for Hamiltons Jazz Fest. great show.

Saw the Dead & Co 11/8/19. Pure nostalgia, like stepping into the 70s. No bad seats and so many good shows over the years. Took off one star for the ridiculous, unorganized ticket check. Getting in took forever. Staff was rude but I forgot all that when the music started.

I Went To Jazz Festival In 2015.

Monster Jam was great!The Venue itself seems very dated and the food options could for sure use some sprucing up!

2019 Woodside High school graduation!! Hampton Coliseum

Had a fun night, but they could use the movie screens for some concerts.

Just went to the Hampton Coliseum to watch professional bull riding - AWESOME! I will definitely go again!!!

Very old “stadium”. I remember coming here back in 2005ish when I used to go to concerts. Sadly, since then the coliseum looks the same. There looks like to not have any renovations, the seats are old and uncomfortable, and to find your row, you have to look at the chalked floor. The numbers for your seats are written in a marker on the bottom of the seat. One thing I can say is, they have a great sound system.Hopefully they upgrade soon.

Easy in and easy out. The people were super nice as well.

Just an incredible concert venue!

I love the coliseum but the wait lines for this event were awful. We stood in the sun for almost 2 hours to get inside.

Saw the Mothers day concert and had a wonderful time

Other than the longer bathroom lines that I normally expect this place was great.

Parking is not a hassle, and the place is easy to navigate. Had a great time

I love Hampton for a venue but getting in is a cluster f. It is almost as if they did not do this sort of thing before. A hour and a half wait in line just to get in is unacceptable.

It has been a long time since I have been to the Hampton Coliseum for a concert. I forgot how great it was. The sound was perfect, the seats dont leave me feeling crowded, and the staff is great. Good vibes all around!

Very nice coliseum with good seating. They people were nice and they have a nice setup for almost every seat.

Nice, but its starting to show its age, especially when you compare to the Ted Constance center.

Keith Sweat, Monica, Ralph Tresvant, Lavelle & ROMONTA

Good views. Not too big. Seats are narrow.

I went to see my granddaughter competing in a gymnastic tournament.

Too many cops, and they screwed the paying vendors over by shutting down lot early. The venue itself was nice but being harassed by police made it not worth it.

Nephews graduation 2019

Great time at the gun show had a wonderul time. nice clean. Cant wait for the next show

Use to be great. Now, 45 minutes to get in!

Went for monster jam which by itself was awesome. The Coliseum couldnt control the dust or exhaust fumes, theres not any ventilation at all. Some families had to leave at the beginning because they couldnt breathe. Dirty facilities and the food is terrible to be as expensive as it is.

Such a legendary venue for live music. Easy parking. Plenty of hotels close by. Great acoustics.

Great Keith Sweat Concert. The sound at HC can be better for concerts. Parking is good. Concession stands had plenty of good food.

Always have liked the Coliseum since a child but it definitely needs to be upgraded

Beautiful place and venue. Only thing they need now is an NBA franchise. Not sure why they dont have to put one everywhere else.
