Old National Events Plaza — Attraction in Evansville

This center is rude and racist in their policies. I attended this center thru the years as part of the event activities. 2016 showed us that they homestly don't care about event organizers who need to use the loading dock. Employee cars take up the entire dock area and refuse to move when there are dozens of vehicles and trailers in need of the dock.

But the worst thing is the mandatory added security last minute for the event I attended in 2016. Bag checked and wand check for all people going into the center. Made the TSA look easy at airports by comparison.

The worst part is the profiling done by the center for our event. Most attendees were teens and 20s but these are nerdy groups showing their love of fandom. Almost none of these attendees are violent, carry weapons, or have any criminal records. In fact, compared to most kids of this age demograph, they are the least likely to cause problems or the need for added security. This is based on fact and stats based from the many years I have been involved with these exact type of events nationwide. I know the security reports, seen them first hand and can say without any doubt this was profiling plain and simple.

I will not be returning to this convention...

Went last night, 2/22, to see Bert Kreischer - The Berty Boy World Tour. So excited when we saw our seats in the balcony. Fantastic view. The show started and the overhead lights by us were still on, making it difficult to see the stage - had to ask for usher assistance. I'm sure the show was hilarious, but have NO IDEA AT ALL. It was impossible to understand anything from the stage. Neither my boyfriend or I could understand what was being said (and neither of us has a hearing issue). We could hear them talking, but it was unintelligible. Boyfriend inquired of an usher who told us the box office was already closed and that this is a KNOWN issue there. We were both so terribly upset. The ushers were kind, but couldn't help us at all. All they told us was that we should complain. It's a big deal to spend money on tickets for any events these days. Not only that, but we travelled from over 4 hours away. To not enjoy OR HEAR the show at all was a huge issue. We will be complaining bitterly tomorrow when the box office opens. All be forewarned - the acoustics, at least in the balcony, is absolutely...

Beautiful facilities in Evansville, able to accommodate such concerts. Unlike the days of my youth when rock concerts were held in long gone in a Stadium, the Events Plaza has a high quality amphitheater style facilities that are top notch. The seating is very comfortable. The atmosphere lends itself to all jaundra's of music and theater. The facility is well designed offering ample choices regardless of which floor you tickets are issued for. As a handicapped, older woman, I found they do have an elevator. The staff are on hand to ensure those who are wheelchair bound have ease of access. Did I tell you about the friendly, polite, and smiling staff? Well just in case, I talked to a couple who genuinely enjoyed working the events they are given. The Events Center has ample parking despite being located in Evansville's downtown district. Actually across the street from the Evansville's Police Department that ensures safety...
