What We Loved
- Affordable Tickets: $79 for two tickets is solid for a professional game.
- Section 201 had a nice court angle; not a bad seat in the house due to the small arena size.
- Since it wasn't sold out, there was freedom to move and spread out.
- DJ added energy, and the intimate setting made it feel more personal and relaxed.
- Two metro lines and a short walk made for manageable travel (about 45 minutes).
What We Didn't Like
- Food Options: Limited variety, quality, or availability.
- Seat Obstruction: Glass partitions in rows 1 and 2 affected some views, causing people to move.
- Security Check: Inconsistent or lax, which might be a concern for some.
- While this made for a more relaxed vibe, it could also reflect a lack of energy or community buzz.
The Verdict
Entertainment and Sports Arena is a solid but modest WNBA venue. While the small size allows for intimate and unobstructed viewing from most seats, and transit is decently convenient, it falls short in amenities like food and polish in overall operations (security and accessibility). It’s a chill spot for true fans rather than those seeking a high-energy, large-scale arena experience.
