Has to be the nicest sports arena we have been to in a very long time. Not only clean but the staff was friendly and helpful. Couldn't be a bad seat in the place. Will go back.
Attended St John’s/UConn Women’s B-Ball game on 1/13. 2pm tipoff. Arena didn’t open until 1pm, leaving waiting fans out in the cold (brr). Would have appreciated advance notice of opening time so we could have timed arrival. Otherwise everything was fine, incl final score. UConn won by nearly 50 pts.
Our first college basketball game was great (expect the seats weren’t near the court) we had to look to the right the whole game
The venue is not set up for pedestrians in the community. The UBS Arena is right in my backyard, but I literally had to walk a mile for an entrance in the gate & through the parking lot to reach the venue. It has to be made easily accessible to locals that pay to attend events!
Great view from all areas...nice food selection...great competition
Fun experience. Staff friendly and helpful. Arena brand new and first class. Easy to access via train or car.
First time at UBS arena, LOVED IT! The area was large, clean and accessible. Parking was with ease, walking distance was not bad. The food was great and the basketball game was AWESOME!
I thought I was getting awesome seats but the camera guy blocked me the whole entire game. No, where did it states that a camera guy would be in that section. I would have never purchase tickets in this section.
Ample parking. Brand new facility. Club entrance with drinks/food/clean bathrooms right there. Not a bad seat in the house. And UCONN won!
Carnesecca is a great place to watch basketball. The SJU players are great and the dancers, especially the Kickline performance, we’re awesome!!
