Great arena. Everything was super clean and up to date. All the concession stands had a great selection of food as well. Navigating the arena was pretty easy as well, finding my seat could not have been easier. Parking was the best, but it also wasn’t the worst. But then again, what arenas do have good parking.

Great arena its very clean even the bathrooms. Has several food an drink booths that have a good variety. The seats from balcony to floor have great views. Sound is clean an well heard even from the balcony. This venue has a lot of great performances coming through all the time. I highly recommend coming here if anyone is unsure of going to a event they want to see.

This venue was perfect for the large concert. The events staff did an amazing job keeping it as organized as possible. The bathrooms got trashed quick, but thats to be expected. Overall had an amazing time and cant wait to make it back for another concert.

Easy to navigate but hell to park. Suggest shuttle, Uber, or Lyft. Venue was clean. Security was hurrying everyone out at the end of the show.The show was awesome!

Just saw Jim Gaffigan tonight, and was not impressed with the venue at all. Ive seen shows here before with zero issue, but tonight, a huge line of people was wrapped around the building, which kept a large number of people from getting to our seats in time for Jim to start. The show was not delayed at all (surely starting 15 minutes later wouldnt have hurt), there were no employees helping people find their seats, and it was unacceptably hot in the arena. I have tickets to two events this fall, and I sure hope things improve before then.

Great, Friday night at PBR the speakers were blocking the big screens. I said something to someone with the PBR and the next two nights were better.

Jehovahs witnesses had their annual convention there this year. Its easy to find your seat because of the way John Q...labels seating. JOHN QM Allowed Jehovahs Witnesses to fix up breast feeding rooms and put down taped arrows for safety. Jehovahs witnesses cleaned the entire building.....there were Jehovahs witnesses attendants for traffic as there were 5457 people at the convention. JOHN Q HAMMONS is a very handy place to have activities and lots and lots of parking..thank you John Q!!!!!

I attended the Journey concert Monday the 3rd of July. I bought my tickets when they first went on sale. Upon arriving at the will call window, the girl had trouble finding the tickets. 15 or so minutes later, I had them. Then waiting in line, dealing with the stupid security people, In missed part of the show. Opening the doors one hour before the show, having to check 10,000 or more people in, just doesnt work. When I pay good money to SEE a concert, I dont appreciate being held outside the doors while the music is going on. Listening outside is FREE! Someone in charge at JQH needs to go back to grade school and learn math all over. 10,000 people in one hour. Go figure that one out! I, along with several hundred other concert ticket holders were very upset. This wont happen again, because I will go elsewhere to see a concert!

I wish there were a parking garage in one of the many parking lots. It would relieve much undue stress during graduate events. Otherwise, I like the lay out and that they have projectors when you arent able to sit close.

A very nice venue for a lot of local events, theres quite often something going on here, a circus, a comedy act, a musical act. If you cant think of something to do, check their website, theres usually something going on. The venue is clean well maintained and always feels comfortable and enjoyable for all event types.

Here today Sunday July 9th, 2017 for the “Dont Give Up!” regional convention of Jehovahs Witnesses. Very clean and nice facility! The staff here is great and they have kept everything in tip top shape for us. This is our best annual convention to date without a doubt.

Great venue with some fantastic events. Big name artists like Brad Paisley and fun shows like a semi rodeo show.The seats are a little close together, and the food is too much money, but thats not why you come here.

I purchased Brad Paisley tickets through Groupon. My Girlfriend has MS and I was not aware that the seats were 12 rows up. She could not climb. So I went down and they gave me seats down in the ADA section. Thank you for the help and understanding. It made her first concert so enjoyable.
