Our daughter attended URI and weve gone for her games - in marching band. The stadium is great. Even those years the football team is not doing so well,weve always loved going to URI games. Facility is very nice and there are no bad seats. And a marching band second to none! Normal food options available.

I go to most URI home Basketball games. It is a really nice facility. Ive got a suggestion to make it even better. Ive been in seats where I couldnt see the big board, which shows everything. At the same time, the smaller, opposite board shows advertising much of the time. Section 209 for one loses a lot of the fun. Please correct! Thank you!

We visited on education day and were greeted with a complimentary glass or mug. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. We had a great time!

I attended the Love Never Fails Regional Convention of Jehovahs Witnesses this weekend. Of all the rented facilities where Ive attended conventions like this in the past, this was the most accommodating and convenient. The parking lots and sidewalks are well maintained. There are ample restrooms to accommodate the number of attendees. The safety officers, whether campus staff or police, were friendly and polite. Im glad they welcomed us to use their facility again, after such a pleasant experience at last years regional convention.

Very nice arena . Really no bad seats . I highly recommend for events . I had to switch my regular tickets for handicapped one and the staff was wonderful and so helpful . In the middle of nowhere . They have alot of events here including concerts and wrestling . Parking was adequate. Plenty of handicapped parking available right in front of the main doors . Getting out was another story . They could use a few more cops on traffic detail .

Over priced, especially when the ticket fee is added. This is mid level college ball not Duke or Kansas or the Celtics! Concessions too were pricey for a college level.Facilities look nice and are clean but could use improvement ... No cup holders at your seats, bathrooms are tight for the arena size, main scoreboard is in one corner so fans in that area have to turn around and those below an overhang like my son and I sitting in a disabled area cannot see the main stats. There should be a four sided scoreboard over the center of the arena. Finally the elevators are really slow.Sorry, really disappointed especially considering the price I paid.

Plenty of parking within easy walking distance, even for small children. Nice facility. Clean. Ample seating. There is an elevator for those unable to handle lots of stairs. Normal concession prices: $4-$5 bottles of water, soft drinks, small snacks; hand food (burgers, hot dogs, etc) priced accordingly more than snacks.

Went for a Jehovahs Witness convention and it really was a nice venue. Plenty of parking and plenty of bathrooms! There is only one elevator though, but 2 huge stair wells on both sides of the arena.

Really nice newer facility on the beautiful URI campus love going to the Rhode Island Rams basketball Stadium men and womans games there not to huge or to small but all the luxuries of a professional Arena from the classy sky boxes that makes u feel like VIP leather couches and big screen TV s to watch the game with a personal waiter at every door cold beer in the fridge and bar seating or if u want to be in the action a private balcony with a couple rows of private seating for your family and a few friends but the court not so far away u cant see the game and perfect size to get in and out with huge long lines and affordable food

Have season tickets for four years. A great venue for college BB. I have been to many BB arenas and this ranks at the top. Convient parking. Only request would be to start serving other drinks besides the two restricted areas. Syracuse packs 20,000 plus for a game and serve and they do not have issues. How do I know, I have had season tickets there and went to games this past year. Even had a cold one at the pintstrip bowl In January. Time for a change......

Slow to get in. Only One employee for the general public line. He had to check each person going in. (Hand wand/look in womens purses) I would say its for safety. But since a bottle of water is four dollars Im leaning more to that. Waited in a long line for a snack. Guy at register said sorry debit machine is down. I said I guess Ill just get a popcorn since I have little cash on me then he said sorry no pop corn. Lol after the game I was stuck in the parking lot from r at least half hour with cars no moving bumper to bumper. Then waited longer as the cars backup all down the street. I would say Im more of a TV viewing person now.
