Our family tries to go to Memphis a couple times a year to watch the Riverkings Hockey team play at Landers Center. The people are always very friendly and helpful and it is located right off Hwy 55 with easy access on and off the interstate. The hockey team is very fun to watch and the rink is well maintained. We live in St. Louis, so it is only about a 4 1/2 drive for us, makes for a great long weekend trip. If you are in Memphis during hockey season, stop by Lander's Center and watch these guys play, very inexpensive and great to support the local team!!!!
We went to the Desoto Family Theatre, which is located within the Landers Center space. Great theatre, comfortable seats, and the show, Les Miserables was awesome.
This is a venue with easy access an sample parking. However there was a huge line waiting to enter and not a great selection of eating and bathroom facilities. The sound was okay but not fabulous. The gig I went to was great however could have been a lot better in a better facility.
We had great seats. The weather was wet but the game inside was great. It was not terribly crowded and even my four year old granddaughter had a ball.
Came here for the Motley Crue/Alice Cooper concert. First we get there an hour before the show to walk through, get some souvenirs. Waited out in the cold for a almost 30 minutes I called the number and spoke with a woman. I asked her when the doors were supposed to open she said 6pm(which that's what I was told before) Thus the reason we were already here. I explained to her that it was after 6 and the doors were not opened yet. She says you will have to talk with security. Finally the doors opened at 630. While I was in line to use the restroom the music started. No time to buy souvenirs, barely got a beverage and we took our seats. I paid over 130 bucks for my ticket we are supposed to have a bar on the floor and we did with ONE person working it. Opening cans and pouring them into cups. After the opening band was done, Alice Cooper came on then another break time to run upstairs and use the restroom then back down to the ONE LINE on the floor and the ONE guy was serving beers to people around him not to the line of people who spent heck of a lot more money. So Motley Crue comes on and bam I still have 50 people in front of me. How about you have 2 extra people there helping serve. So I made the decision to run back to my spot to find it had been taken by someone else. This place is a joke!
From concerts to sporting events to local theater - the Landers Center has it all. I've attended many, many events at the Landers Center. Every seat in the house is good. The facilities are spotless; the food good; the personnel professional and courteous.
enjoyed our grandson and granddaughters graduation held at the Landers Ctr. Parking was good and there was plenty of seating. Thunderstorm came over during the speeches and made it a bit difficult to hear everything... But all and all nice experience...Go Tigers
Lander’s Center has been around for a while as the Desoto Civic Center. My family has attended many sporting events, concerts and shows such as Disney on Ice. The facility is well maintained, clean, the service crews are very hospitable and there is plenty of parking. The only real negative I can give you about the facility would be the trip to and from the events. The roads around the facility get jammed quickly as they are also major traffic routes. On the night of special events they have to have a large police presence to get the traffic under control, but at least they are willing to have the police out there. I have been to other venues that weren’t willing to even try to help with traffic woes outside the facility.
The venue is nice but dated on the inside. Not near enough bathrooms or workers for snack bars . Also , I am not sure if can smoke , but a lot of people were smoking inside-gross.
Hospitality And courteous and friendly people Especially Jennifer At the front desk She was Friendly And nice Made it feel welcome And at home Rooms were clean and nice I will definitely come back again I recommend this highly
