Venue
The game was a good one but if not for the charitable fans next to us this could have been a real bummer. Seats online did not reflect a step up change and mid aisle metal block in the row that we selected our 4 seats. Not cool!
Carver Arena in the Peoria Civic Center is a great venue for college basketball. If your are visiting Peoria, take advantage of catching a Bradley basketball game. The downtown arena is next to several great restaurants and bars. The Peoria community turns out for the Braves games, so the games always have a good crowd.
Great game for the Ramblers. Venue is ok. Parking is cheap and right next to arena
Bradley and SIU are not very good! The game was pretty boring! Bradley had 21 turnovers and SIU shot 26 three pointers and made 2! Very sad! The score was I believe 14 to 14 with about 5 or 6 minutes left to go in the 1st half!
Ticketmaster worked great. Loved outcome but I am an SIU fan
We had a WIN! Seats were good however thought the lower bowl tickets were a bigy high.
It's been a long time since seeing BU play. I was disappointed. Good tix and good purchase experience through Ticketmaster. Value for seats was good. Quality of product, which only BU has accountability for, was like sloppy playground ball. Not at all impressed.
Venue seats good view, good spacing, little pricey. If I had been more familiar with venue would definitely have bought the next lower price seat...price difference not worth the seats we bought. The Upsell parking was awful...do NOT recommend. No directions or address for the lots listed...we searched streets listed and found no parking lot on one street and other street listed we could not find, even on GPS. Cost was more than twice what we paid for parking directly across street from venue! Absolutely do NOT recommend buying advance parking!!!! Wasted money!!!
Bradley is having a tough year, but they looked good on Saturday. Attending games at the Peoria Civic Center is always a good time. The staff are helpful, the facility is clean, and the new seats in the arena are very comfortable.
The civic center accepts mobile tickets through the ticket master app, but Bradley does not use scanners for their events so you can't use them. A little annoying. Multiple civic center employees agreed that it is an inconvenience and don't understand why Bradley doesn't use scanners so that people can scan mobile tickets.
An amazing game, for the most part the Bradley Fans were respectful to Wichita State. Their new mascot, Bradley Braves Kaboom the Gargoyle is a bit goofy looking.
Enjoyable experience - great price for a fun college basketball game. Parking and getting there was easy.
Good venue. Seats were as advertised and expected. I would recommend.
I bought 4 tickets, same row, two down at one end and two at the other end. My son, who was a Michigan fan, sat in Row EE, seat 3 and 4. He said he could not really see because of the hoop being in the way, but other than that, he really enjoyed himself. My problem was I had a rather tall guy in front of me and I had to keep moving around so I could see, and when I looked at the big screen, could not look long because it hurt my neck. I thought the seats were very good. It was exciting and fun!
Great game to watch! Bradley played with #3 Michigan for 35 minutes.
Went to a basketball game over the weekend, parking just two blocks away in the parking garage was free, concession lines were very short, there was no one in line when I went twice. Seating was comfortable and not too crowded.
Definitely would go again. Love College Basketball especially the BlueJays
Two struggling teams, bad referees, and a long standing rivalry made for an interesting evening. My wife and I couldn't believe that two teams with one conference win between them (out of 17 games or so) could have had such an exciting game! Fortunately, it went ISU's way but it could've easily been otherwise and I think Bradley deserves some credit, though I hate to say it! :)
