Easy to get in and out of. Our seats were good for Mannheim Steamroller. We had a great time! Concessions were comparable to other facilities and there are a number of bathrooms.
We have been to several concerts here and have always been treated to a great show. Seating always gives you a decent view of the stage.
Went to the Little River and concert at the Nebraska State fair and it was fantastic. Really enjoyed the concert.

Know before you go

  • Check event schedules in advance and arrive early to secure good seating or parking due to potential crowds.
  • Consider bringing your own snacks or drinks to avoid high concession prices inside the venue.
  • If attending an event like wrestling where it can get crowded, plan accordingly for restroom breaks and movement within the facility.

Nice event center! Concessions are ridiculous though. A bottle of water should not cost $5!

Very nice events center. Good concerts. Little River Band was excellent. Air conditioning, pizza hut concessions, and new casino next door.
