Well attended again this year. Acoustics were good, visibility from the upper deck was okay, parking was easy in and out. (If you're going to park in their lots, go Walton Way and cut over. If you are going to park on the street, go Greene Street and cut over.)
Depends on the event.....of course, food and sodas are expensive like every other civic center. Never had a problem parking.
"I remember when you could be exited about attending an event at the civic center. I guess my emory is better than my children think if I can remember that far back but I see no reason to ever return. It is dirty, needs many repairs and the attractions don t attract me.
Dirty restrooms,poor seating and security this is the most mismanaged place in Augusta second to the local Governmant.
One would think with back-to-back graduation cerimonies all day the James Brown Arena would staff appropriately for restroom cleanliness and supplies. It's really absurd to run out of TP and have other unsightly indications of neglect. Doesn't reflect well on Augusta to all the out of town visitors.
This is the premier place for all graduations in our area. It's just a big arena for special events. Nothing spectacular about it. I've seen bigger and better in other states.
This place may not be in the best location down town but I do feel safe when I go here. My biggest complaint is that there is not enough parking. Other than that I take my whole family here for Christmas in the South and concerts,etc.
I attended a sold-out Winter Jam concert here. The view from the stadium seating was excellent, but I can't say much for the rest of the venue because I'd lose my seat if I got up (no assigned seating). It was easy to find, there was virtually no traffic congestion coming or going, and we had no trouble with parking.
The seating on the floor where you pay premium is pretty bad. Bad seats, as far as views, and bad chairs.
We took our boys this weekend to see the Monster X tour with the huge trucks! It was SUPER loud but Great!! This entertainment complex is very popular and we are going back next weekend for another event. Note: eat before you go the food is pricey
