Intrust Bank Arena

Horrible seating… The seating is way too tight. No leg room! I’m not a very large person either. They wanted to cram as many seats as possible in here so they could potentially get NCAA tournament but what’s the point if everyone is uncomfortable? Waste of taxpayers money. PS. terrible parking too.

Got high up seats. The view was subpar. Hard to see the stage. Some people are literally seated behind the stage! What the heck?
The acoustics were good.
Good signage to fine your seats. The seats are very narrow and steep. It’s impossible to get to your seat without having everyone stand up. You risk falling as well given the steepness of the arena.
The concessions were pretty bad. I felt my arteries hardening just seeing the food.
Parking is impossible. Need food trucks.
Pretty easy leaving the arena though. Walking out was pretty smooth.

Really easy to get into and out of arena! Located near lots of fun dining and drinking. Went to see the Avett Brothers there and absolutely loved the ease of getting to the venue from Topeka and the kindness of the employees. Easy access parking and a very clean facility!

Finally seen a concert in this arena. It was probably the worst concert experience ever! I had awesome seats and the band initially said cameras allowed but intrust didn’t allow cameras. Security told me this was because of the bands pyros. When I told them just the night before I was allowed cameras security chose to ignore me.
Also why does Wichita build such a small arena downtown where parking is horrible? Mötley Crüe couldn’t even set up their entire show! It was Mötley Crüe’s final tour and I couldn’t even get pictures! The band also requested fans post their photos from the show on their website. Can’t do that either because of the stupid no camera policy! Of the 10 venues I’ve been in in the last 3 years this is the only one that has the out dated no camera policy. But I could have my camera phone!
And what’s the deal with the security search?! Did everyone forget how to do this when Intrust opened? That wallet chain is attached to a wallet for a reason and no it doesn’t come off! I will probably never go here again. I’ll go to Denver!
If you plan a once in a lifetime concert choose another venue like Kansas City or Denver. Or another venue that is skilled, knowledgeable, and accommodating to fans and knows how to set up floor seating correctly!
I would’ve given a half a star had this been an option for this place!

Worst decision ever made in Wichita
The seating is terrible and parking is impossible

We bought floor tickets and found the chairs horrible. They are very narrow and the rows set up with very little leg room. Worse than airline seats.
AVOID floor seats! They are the the most expensive and bad, bad and bad again.

Tiny seats. No knee room. Limited bathrooms. Small hallways. Otherwise good venue.

Great addition to Wichita; much nicer than the old Coliseum way north of town.

The Intrust Arena looks out of place surrounded by the dilapidated and empty buildings of downtown, but over the past year, it’s a welcome addition to the Downtown area, and it’s the event venue that a city of this size should have had years ago. The city built it smartly, too — they started collecting taxes for it five years ago, ensuring that most of the cost was covered by the time it opened. At this point, most of the revenue is going back into the city and to fund other events.
In reality, I don’t like hockey nor most of the acts that have passed through Intrust over the past year, but it looks like they’re shooting to get at least one big name act each month, so I’m sure there will be something for me at some point.
When considering arena food, you’re not going to find much of anything made from scratch, but at least there’s a wide variety of things offered — barbecue, Mexican, pizza, plus a variety of hot dogs and fried things.
Even parking isn’t really much of an issue — if you don’t want to deal with the Intrust lots, there’s loads of places to park Downtown within walking distance. An all-​around great arena experience.

I saw a Rush concert at this arena. It’s small-​ish and, of course, designed so people sit facing the floor area. But even though Rush’s stage was on one end, it was not difficult to see them from anywhere in the arena.
Oh yeah, it was easy to get to, find parking, and get out of. Nice.
Overall, a good concert venue.
