We have been to the GM Centre for many hockey games and concerts! The venue isn't too big, and the atmosphere can be electric. A great venue for family entertainment, and great sound for a rock'n good time! We sat front and centre for a John Mellencamp concert .. fantastic show!
We saw John Fogerty at the GM Centre and I had heard this place was just the greatest. Our seats were on the floor and, really, I was surprised. We were in row 24 so when I bought the tickets I figured we would be kind of close to the stage. Thank goodness for the big screens because we couldn't see much! The seats are all on one level and once anyone stands up that's it--you can't see! This set up is okay for sports events but not music shows. The sound went out a couple of times too. And I couldn't believe how many people were walking around--getting beer and whatever! Aren't you there to watch the show? And all the seats were was a folding chair bolted to the ground. Anyway we loved the show but I won't be going back for another music show unless I'm in the first couple of rows!
Our grandson had a hockey game scheduled here in a package which included a Junior A game between the Generals and Erie Otters. The seats aren't all that bad for comfort and it appears that there is not a bad seat in the house. Food and drink is a little pricey but not as bad as ACC or Rogers Centre. The bride has been here before for a figure skating show and raved about the venue.
Show was great and since it is small you could see everything. Beer was usual expensive at these places costing 11.25 each.
Hockey, Basketball, etc. great venue for sports. Not so much for music. Acoustics are terrible or possibly its the way the speakers are set up but I have not been impressed with any concerts I have seen here,Go GENS Go!
This sport complex is new, up to date for hockey, entertainment, and much more, parking, food, centrally located, La quintal hotel is one block away, brand new to Oshawa,See you soon,Peter. E. Mercado, C.E.T.
Great hockey, great concerts, great parking, wish I could get better food, Diabetic just need some whole grain stuff as a choice, I can get veges through in-seat service that is a good one as most other places where there are sports do not offer anything that I can eat.
Easy to find and parking lots surround the building.. Vendors inside. Bathrooms were clean.. Seats were comfy
I have been to many concerts here and hockey games from a box. Its like a mini Air Canada center. Easy in and easy out, of course with every venue good seats are a must. Easy to get around when your inside. Parking easy and cheap near by. The food like typical bar food in a pub, and if lucky you get reserve or find seats along the window of the bar overlooking the venue. My biggest complaint is how they serve drinks.... they can't make you a mixed drink with two ounces of alcohol such as a black Russian, and how early they close down the bars during a running venue.... .
Go see the Oshawa Generals in this state of the art facility. Concessions are expensive. $3.75 for a small pop...Come on
