Great venue, great rodeo production. Disappointed in the very few vendors. The food/drink prices are a bit steep at the concessions but not as bad as some places. Food was decent.
I've only been to the events center to see shows (River Dance, etc.) that would normally be viewed in a theater. The events center is not a theater. The main seating area is flat with folding chairs-it feels like the center is ready to be turned in to a rodeo with 30 minutes notice. The acoustics are not very good although the artificial sound equipment is pretty good. Putting the limitations of the structure aside (and did I mention that the parking and traffic is badly designed?) it is fantastic to have a venue for traveling shows of Broadway, singers, show productions and other theatrical presentations. The run is always limited so it is important to book tickets right away but the arena is small enough that the crowd can really "get into" the production. In my experience, this intimacy results in more actor/audience interaction than I've experienced in far more sophisticated theaters. Perhaps in a tense drama, this would be a negative but in things like River Dance or a country singer like George Strait, it was a great experience.
Amazing place to spend while watching your son, team and many other incredible athletes. The Casper Events Center is clean and every staff member we ran into was friendly.
Event was suppose to be from 1-9 pm. We got there at 3 pm did not like band, so came back at 6 pm and event was done! I think we should get a refund!
This events center was built at the same time pizza hut came to Casper. It was a joke for us locals. It has been a piece of sunshine to rockers, rappers, country folks, and sports fans. It can house alot of folks and even rodeo gets its chance at stinking up the place with animal dung like the stink that lingers with the monster truck races. It is great for sports except those that produce odors. It is still a nice asset for a tiny town trying to grow up.
Always so much going on at the events center. Conferences football Craft fairs, I especially enjoy the Broadway plays, a great variety every year. The staff and helpers are always great. They have good concessions and they cater many events. There is plenty parking and it is clean and comfortable. They host the Home and garden show every spring and the Fall is The Womens EXPO as well as the Hunting and fishing EXPO that helps school children and all to appreciate what the great state of Wyoming has to offer. In Nov. the third weekend, they host the largest craft fair around 150 booths. Always something going on and a must check out while in casper.
Was here for the College National Final Rodeo (CNFR). They put it on well. Good atmosphere. Nothing to complain about.
In town for a few days and decided to stop in the events center for the Freemont auto sale to check out the facility. Once I got away from the sales people, I did enjoy looking at the vehicles. The parking is easy and the center seems dated but clean.
We attended the Women's Expo last year and paid $20.00 for the questionable privilege. It should have been offered free of charge, because there was absolutely nothing to be gained from that experience. Also, I think that the Events Center, in its ads on their website, uses misrepresentation and false advertising to suggest notable celebrities come there, the most popular of the country music singers when, in actuality, they go to the Cheyenne Frontier Days and almost never come to Casper, except for Reva McIntyre, whom I don't consider to be notable.
its the best venue in wyoming. MOst people in the state know this from the many state wide atheletic and entertainment events but the wind blows a lot and its not much fun walking to and from the car
