Xfinity Arena

I’ve only been here for Silvertips games so I can’t say fer sher what it’s like for more general purpose use, but this is certainly a great place to see a hockey game. The seats are angled fairly steeply so you can easily see over the row in front of you, the glass is immaculately clean, and the scoreboard info is easy to read. Views of the ice are quite good in both the 100 and 200 levels. Staffers are courteous and helpful. Street parking is usually easy to find within a few blocks, and there are plenty of options for eat and drink in the area, including the marvelous Brooklyn Bros. Pizza across the street from the main entrance.
Speaking of eat and drink, I can offer no comment on concessions, as I’ve spent precisely zero dollars and zero cents at the concession stands. I’ll update this portion of the review once the urge for beer in a plastic cup and melted velveeta nachos grows too strong for my poor constitution to bear.

First review of 2016! So I came here with my buddy for a silvertips game, parking wasn’t too bad despite the frozen streets. Since I already had tickets I was able to get in through the suite entrance. And thankfully from there the seating was very close. So this stadium is small. And like others I feel like no matter where you sit it’s a good view, thankfully I was right up front though so I got to take in all the action. The seats are a little skimpy I feel like if you’re above 5,6 then you’ll run into some problems if it’s packed around you. It didn’t help that two people who were not supposed to sit there decided to sit next to me, and my buddy is pretty tall and big, so the restaurant on the third level looked busy and man the food looked awesome but I had my heart set on sushi… Next time though! The concession stands seemed to be pretty well organized so I liked that. For some reason sports fans in Seattle either go too extreme or are just super tame. Thankfully the silvertip fan base is that happy medium! Not stupidly annoying where I get in a fight with some drunk idiot (every time at a sounders game) and not falling asleep. They’re lively when it’s appropriate and I like that. I was sad to hear I missed five finger death punch since that is my favorite band and papa roach which I love some of their oldies. Throwback to early 2000s! Long story short I’ll come for the occasional silvertip game and cool event and just choose my seating carefully.

Seats are little uncomfortably, but for a hockey arena its nice to be reasonable templated inside.

I love seeing events here. Its so small that every seat seems like a great seat. Plus it doesn’t tend to get as crazy and overwhelming as some of the bigger arenas. There is also more than one entrance so getting inside goes fast. They can be pretty strict about what you are allowed to bring in so make sure you read the emails they send prior to the event or you may end up walking it all the way back to your car. There is a lot of free street parking in the area which is also a bonus but can require a bit of a walk unless you happen to get here super early. Like most arenas the food and drinks are overpriced and not that great but its comparable to other similar locations. I do wish they had more concerts here. I tend to make it to Disney on Ice about once a year and find this to be one of the better events held here. Lots of better food in the area if you choose not to eat at the actual arena. For the claustrophobic leaving the arena can be a little unsettling as everyone is trying to get through very tiny corridors at the exact same moment.

We went to see Xfinity Frozen performance on November 21, at 3:30 yesterday. I had decorated some eggs to give to my friend as a gift. I didn’t know food was not allowed. I also had some warm water for my daughter who had a cold. I saw that they were inspecting peoples’ bags at the far right side gate so I called my friend to give her the eggs at her car. While standing outside of the line a female staff member approached me. While I was calling my friend she rudely asked if I was carrying boiled eggs. She looked at me like I was a bug and verbally attacked me saying ‘why did you bring eggs?’ I wasn’t even in line and she accosted me and called a male staff member to continue berating me. I was so hurt and angry. I threw away the eggs and water without giving it to my friend. Oh my God! Everyone was looking at me while my 4 years old daughter was cluching my hand. There I am standing outside trying to figure out how to get my gift to my friend and this woman is yelling at me. My 4 years old daughter was terrified. This was a place for kids. I can’t understand why I was treated so badly and humiliated in front of my daughter and a bunch of strangers. I wanted to cry, it ruined my whole evening. She yelled at me in front of my daughter. Why did she have to yell and treat me like a criminal? She should be better trained so she doesn’t ruin other peoples’ evening. If she had just told me politely that food was not allowed, my daughter and I would have had a great time watching Frozen.
The Frozen performance was great but it didn’t register in my head because of how this staff member treated me. That day, that area, that hurt from this experience can’t be erased from my memory or my daughter’s. I hope this incident isn’t ignored so another child or customer doesn’t experience this kind of treatment. She should be taught to control her emotions and act professionally. Why did she over react towards me? Was it because I’m Asian? Would she have treated me with respect if I were white like her? The more I think about what happened, the more sad I feel.

The food at the concessions is disgusting. Think of a really bad quality frozen pizza, reheated. The service at the concessions is also horrible… confusion between who’s serving the food and no one wanted to take my money. The pros is that they keep the seating area nice and warm. Moral of the story, get food before you go there.

Over all, not a bad facility, though the layout is a little inconvenient; the concession stands should have more organized lines, and they should reserve a space for a coat-​check area. As for the staff… very poor service, very rude, disorganized… I had a wonderful time in the mosh pit watching my favorite band perform live, but the rest of my experience at the arena absolutely sucked. When you have a customer service-​based facility, you should have professional, customer-​oriented staff… not a bunch of c*nts who clearly hate their job. Also, opening the doors 45 minutes late??? And spamming my inbox after I ordered tickets online? F*ck you, Xfinity Arena.

The arena itself is within a building that takes up the whole block. Being in a hurry, I was looking for an indicator showing me how to get to the ice. I walked in on some wedding event and finally received an answer.
At the skate counter, apathy was handed out in abundance. Whaaa, you work at an ice rink. I consider that quite a bit better than my 1^st job @ Taco Time.
At least the have hockey skates. The ones I received were a bit dull, but overall in pretty good shape. The wife unit and kid didn’t fare so well. My kids form was terrible, but I didn’t even think to look at her skate. Turns out that the heal was dis-​bonded from the boot, and there was a large tear on the outside around the mid-​foot area. Since the wife was having some pain issues with her skates, the kid inherited them. Turns out that they were beat to hell too, BUT they were in considerable better shape and she was almost able to get to proper form.
The size of the rink is great! Aside from that, pretty painful. There were enough teens there to populate a Chuck E Cheese. All volumes cranked to 100% of course. At least most of them got some ice time in. What’s going on with these walkers?! I had never seen these before, and their function was definitely misused. Need a walker to build confidence or form? Sweet! That was quite far from the norm. These things were everywhere, and they were treated like pool toys. Unless they were abandoned, they seemed to have no predictable vector.
The apathy seemed to make it our onto the ice too. All of the ice guards? Moderators? Ice police? Whatever they are called, seemed bored out of their skulls. I’m not sure what their take on their function is, but they did nothing but stand and banter with work mates.
Another positive? The water fountain is close to the ice as are the bathrooms, but that pretty much wraps it up.
I get how these things happen. Comcast buys a city block, and asks for a building with a ton of stuff jammed into it. In this case the ice rink got the shaft.

This is a really nice facility with a few minor flaws. This was my first visit to the arena and I was here to see Five Finger Death Punch and Papa Roach and was really nervous about the sound quality since I have seen shows like this in other indoor arenas and it was awful. I am pleased to say that the sound quality was fantastic, didn’t get that reverberating noise you often get with metal bands. Getting to the arena was really easy and there are plenty of parking garages in the surrounding area that were easy to find and easy to get out of. A couple of down sides: 1) Because of the size of the arena it got REALLY hot, like uncomfortably hot. Highly encourage you all to crank up the air conditioning in this place. One neat thing I did see was your floor staff was passing around water to the folks in the pit that weren’t able to get out for water. I thought that was a really classy move. 2) The bathroom situation. The number of stalls is comical and paired with the fact that there were only four sinks it took forever to get in. 3) I didn’t see a single staff member at the two entrances I used to get to my seats. It was so dark in there when there was a band on stage that I almost fell down the stairs because I couldn’t see them and I saw everyone else having the same problem. Either light up the stairs or get personnel to help escort people to their seats like they do at other venues. Other than those things, I really enjoyed my experience here and good thing too since I will be back next month for another concert!

My friends and I just attended a concert venue here this past weekend. This was my first ever experience at the Xfinity Arena at Everett. Appearance wise, it is a beautiful facility. We missed the opening band through no fault of our own. We were there plenty early; the lines to get in the venue however were horrendous and should’ve been opened up at least 30 — 45 minutes earlier to accommodate everyone accordingly. I have NEVER been to an event whereby I have missed the opening act that I actually wanted to see and attribute this to bad organization and a poor check in process. They not only prevented paying customers from seeing the event, but prevented a great band from connecting with a wider audience.

Great venue to take in a hockey game, with not a bad seat in the house. Even the cheapest upper deck seats will give you a great view Have been to countless Silvertips games and enjoyed everyone. The price is right especially for such high caliber hockey in a state of the art arena.

I wanted GA tickets for an event so I selected that option and the quantity I wanted. It should popup a notification or make it glaringly obvious that the tickets you wanted are all sold out. Instead it quietly replaces them and tells you in 8pt font that they were replaced with the next best option. Better yet, if it’s sold out why is it even offered from the choices? I’m a software developer and this is very easy to accommodate.
I originally rated them ¹⁄₅ but since they have called me and gave me a refund I will give them ⁴⁄₅

Nice facility, but this place really needs to step it up with their staff. I came here for my cousin’s high school graduation. I made her a candy lei that was wrapped in layers and layers of plastic– definitely not meant to be opened until she got home. The staff at Xfinity wouldn’t let me bring it in because it was considered «outside food». OK– I respect that. But after I got in, I saw many different people with outside food. There was a poster with candy glued all over it, another lei, the list goes on and on. A little unfair if you ask me. If you have a rule, at least consistently enforce it.
I was hoping to take a picture with my cousin with the lei on in her cap and gown, but that obviously didn’t happen. I guess there is always her college graduation.

I came to Xfinity Arena last week to see R. Kelly in concert and I was surprised how nice the arena is.
Bathrooms are well kept and pleasant. I though there were enough stalls to prevent long waits in line. I like how clean the arena was and the seats were fine. My only complaint of the place is how concessions are set up, since the walkways seem a little small and were always crowded, whether if people were waiting in line or just chatting with friends to the side. There were some consessions stands that were empty and I though those could have been better utilized to ease the long lines.
Ideally, Xfinity is not my first choice to see a concert due to the drive but I wouldn’t mind coming back here for a musician that I really want to see.

The arena is very nice. I went to see the R. Kelly concert over the weekend. Parking was available directly across the street from the arena for a $ 20 fee. The bathrooms were clean (HUGE KUDOs), the lines were moving fast at the concessions, and the arena did not smell like marijuana. I have been to arenas and it seems that everyone in the building is smoking marijuana, I like that the staff ensured that this was not allowed in this arena. The staff were very helpful in helping us locate our seats and answering any questions about how to get on stage with the bracelts. Even when exiting the building everything was nice and orderly and not rowdy.
My only grievance that I have about this arena is that there were people protesting at the bottom of the stairs to this arena and blocking the entrance to the stairs. They were basically telling us that we were going to hell for going to this concernt and that we still had time to change our minds. I don’t have a problem with protestors as they have a right for Freedom of Speech, but I do have a problem when they are blocking the entrance to the venue. I feel that security should have controlled the location of the protest to either side of the stairs but they should not have been allowed to be on the stairs and blocking the entranceway.

Was Comcast Arena I do believe they changed their name for some reason even though its still Comcast. Anyway, IMO this Arena must have been developed by a woman lol, why I say that? Well, most Arena’s and Stadiums the lines for the Bathrooms are for women’s Bathrooms, this Arena however, all the lines are for the Mens Bathroom’s (My wife had same thought that this place was developed by a woman)
The layout of the Arena is nice, decent selection of stuff to eat inside if your willing to pay the price, the restaurants outside– are probably about 4 or 5 blocks from the Arena, and the Parking here SUCKS– specially if you are going to a event where most of the tickets are sold.
So overall, not to impressed with this place, they could have done better in regards a few things.

Visit this venue often to watch The Everett Silvertips. Always have a great time. Thank Xfinity Arena.
