Cable Dahmer Arena

Still love hockey, but it doesn't seem quite the same as it used to. The building is still in good shape and there is a lot of parking for handicap cars, probably not quite enough though bc we were 30 minutes early and got the last spot. The arena is pretty loud, but that is to be expected. Food is WAY overpriced; this is a minor league team guys. $5 for a bottle of pop or water is insane. We had a great time at the game though, and got to watch some good hockey. I'm sad about the name and logo change, the Hunt's made a mistake there. I get them wanting to keep the KC brand name, but there was nothing wrong with the MO Mavericks name and it was more accurate since the team is in INDEPENDENCE, NOT KC. The black and orange is also horrible, very halloweenish and off putting. Once we got past the shock of the changes (we had season tickets right up until the year the Hunt family bought them and jacked up the prices over 30% & attempted to implement a charge for parking) since the last time we attended we did have fun because, after all, it is hockey. :-)

While attending the kc mavericks game at the cable dahmer arena, we had a great time enjoying the food, atmosphere, and game! I will say, the food prices are definitely pricey. it was $16 for chicken tenders and fries which seems like a lot. it was expected to be pricey but that's pushing it. The staff was very friendly and was eager to help. We especially enjoyed the music that was played during the game, it was relavant and not the same old songs you hear at other sporting events! We originally thought it might be chilly in there because of the ice but we weren't cold at all! Overall, it was a great time and we will definitely be returning!

Came here for a FAC fight! It's always good time! Energy was fantastic here! I don't think there's a bad seat in the house!

This is my first experience at a Minor League Hockey Game.My first love was Hockey, I went to a Los Angeles Kings game back home in Southern California and that was amazing.The buzzer, brings the crowds to life like NOTHING I've ever seen. The fan base was fun, the lines moved quickly, and items were priced fairly. The fries and cheese sauce tasted pretty good as well.It was easy to find my seats, and the aisles had SO MUCH space in between. I was able to walk by others without even having them get up! Overall parking was a breeze, and I loved the speakers and the view from my seat. Everybody was friendly and able to help. I can't wait to go back again. Mavericks won!OT! Shoot out!

I've been to a few events at Cable Dahmer Arena over the years and it seems regardless of who owns it (it has changed hands a few times since its inception), we have enjoyed ourselves. The facility is clean, parking nearby is easy as is getting in and out. We went over the weekend to a Comets Indoor Soccer match. The crowd was into it, the action was great and it was definitely time and money well spent.

I really like this venue for concerts and events because it's not too big, and not too small. There really isn't a bad seat in the house, but it's big enough to accommodate fairly large crowds. Parking is also a breeze, and the cost is reasonable at $5-$10. Everyone who works at Silverstein Eye Centers seemsto be well trained. They are consistently friendly and knowledgeable. They truly go out of their way to make guests feel welcome.My only complaint about this venue is that the concessions are very expensive. Last weekend I paid $27 for two pretzels with cheese, and two small fountain drinks. I understand that concessions are always expensive at concerts and events, but if a venue charges such prices I would appreciate having cup holders in the arena seating area. Once we paid $27 for our snacks and drinks we had no place to set them. Thankfully we had empty seats next to us so we set our drinks on the floor to the side so we didn't knock them over, but in a crowd this would have been really inconvenient and potentially messy. In all, this is a great smaller concert and sporting venue that I enjoy visiting. It's much easier and more convenient than visiting other venues in KC, and it's a well run establishment.

Went to a comedy show here. Seats are kinda small and squished together. Not for bigger people. I'm a small person and the person next to me kept touching me. Since we're looking in only on direction for like 2 hours it hurts your neck. People on the floor got to look forward but the seats on the floor didn't look very comfortable. Seems like this place is only good for sporting events. Food was an ok price. Got nachos for $6. Alcoholic drinks were outrageous for this event. $9.50 for a beer/ mixed drink!! There's pop and water too of course.

I attended a concert here last night and I can not recommend it to anyone else. The artist was fine, but the venue was terrible. The event staff was doing their best, but were very flustered, very rude at times, and super disorganized. It was also so hot that multiple people passed out (at least 6 by my count).

2025 prices are up! This place gives me mixed feelings. I have seen quite a bit of different shows and events here over the last 6 years. It's near home so it's convenient. I just feel kinda ripped off having to pay for parking now. Doesn't seem like we used to pay for parking when it was owned by Silverstein. Maybe it's just sports you don't pay for parking, but now, 2025, everything has gone up from just a few months ago. $5.00 fees on each ticket (at the box office) and the "pre-paid parking" is now $15 instead of $10, if you pay the day of the event, the parking is $25! That's stupid! I'm not sorry for saying. This will likely be our last time coming here. I just don't see the value anymore. Too bad. We have had some good times here. I'm also still a bit disappointed the last couple of team sporting events were not family friendly. Seems folks just don't know how to behave decently when in mixed company. Shouting expletives right behind us with two kids, on "Kids Day." I did email them about this and got told that I should report this to one of the ushers and they will move you. I don't feel like that's a good answer, especially if I paid for seats on glass. We haven't been back to a team sports event since. That was around 2022. We had a similar experience where people were obviously belligerent drunk and shouting cuss words, at a women's indoor football game. They definitely need a policy (if they don't have one yet), if there's a complaint and you're acting inappropriately they will throw you out. (Anonymous text line works well at other venues.) There's just no need to be acting like your at a bar when there's kids around. Final thoughts, I agree with other reviews there's no real "bad seats" in the house because it is smaller. We have made many memories here, Circus, concerts, fight night, hockey, monster trucks.... But I'm really going to have to weigh the pros and cons before attending something here again.

Seats are so tiny and smashed together even normal size people are obviously very uncomfortable. Bigger size people forget it. Normal size guys forget it. Anyone but a 13 year old size 0? Just stay home. Paid a lot of money for tickets as did those around us. We were all squashed uncomfortably together. The lack of even a hint of personal space made hard to enjoy the show. Think seriously about the level of discomfort you are willing to endure before purchasing a ticket.
