Great venue for AASCF National Championships (Cheer and Dance). Theatre and arena packed, accessible food and trams nearby, well air-conditioned and great vibe! Only feedback would be to train staff better to not encourage spectators to walk in front of spectators during routines.

Visited the convention centre recently to see Matchbox Twenty. Being a smaller venue provides a great facility and venue for a concert although the seats aren't very comfortable. It was also very strange to be told you can't stand at a music concert. Needs to be reconsidered if any more shows in the future. And $14 for a drink, omg... make sure you have some prior to arriving.

Our seats were amazing and very comfortable compa...
