Hyvee Arena

Tacos and margarita festival is lame. Your are charged for stuff that they don't provide. We paid for VIP and theres no VIP lounge, no t shirt. It's a scam. Don't upgrade to VIP. I supported the vendors but spent money to support vendors .the cost doesn't include food.

Hy-Vee Sports Arena totally transformed Kemper Arena with 12 full-sized hardwood courts striped for Basketball, Volleyball, and Pickleball! They have over 82,000 square feet of hardwood flooring plus a 350m track with trainers and coaches.Hy-Vee Arena's approach to sports includes retail, dining, fitness, and entertainment. All under one roof!

So glad that they renovated Kemper. The space is being used for a multitude of things. There are a plethora of courts for basketball, volleyball and even pickle ball lines. There are many restaurants on the second floor, I haven't tried them, they seem a bit overpriced. Businesses line the outer circle throughout the facility on all floors. If I'm not mistaken, I believe I saw an arcade.I've enjoyed playing volleyball on the courts for the past couple years. They keep the place pretty clean.One of my only disappointments is that they do not consider parking when booking multiple events. It can be a headache looking for parking sometime. The other is staff not knowing where things are. I was there for a meeting and was given the wrong instructions to an office a few times. The place is not small and I ended up walking a little bit over a mile around the place looking for the meeting (yes, I turned my watch on).

This facility can seat so many and it's really multi functional. We were visiting for a weekend basketball tournament and I was told the building sat vacant for awhile until they turned it into a sports complex. They even have sports therapists on site! The food inside is pretty high so I tried to eat prior to arrival and after leaving. Once seated inside it was very clean for this type of facility and I didn't feel like the floors were nasty or as if I was running a risk of sitting in a nasty seat

The courts look nice but their workout room leaves everything to be desired. A whole arena and only about 2000 square feet of machines.

This is an interesting mix use space. It's a multi level sports arena with shopping, restaurants, a gym, and arcade. New shops and restaurants are still moving in, so I'm excited to check it out again later in the year and see how they've grown.

The transformation from Kemper Arena to the Hyvee Arena is nothing short of miraculous. What was once a 16,000 seat abandoned arena is now a multi-level sports and rec facility. As I walked onto the main concourse, I had a bit of confusing time looking out onto the main arena. The view is now split because of an arena sized flooring level they have installed separating a once huge space into 2 levels of hardwood courts. There were multiple basketball games occurring as I wandered around reminiscing about where I sat for a multitude of concerts during the 1980's. There are also restaurants (Blind Box and Longboards) under construction as with snack bars, vending machines, an arcade, business offices and a cool looking alcohol bar. I probably won't be attending events at Hy-Vee Arena as much as Kemper Arena since I don't participate in team sports nor have children that I will be taking, although it does provide an indoor climate for getting your steps in and food and drink options for the area. Well done Kansas City and all involved!

Doors said open at 6PM. It is now 6:40 and the doors for the venue are still not open. The concert is supposed to start at 7pm. Pretty sure that will start late too!

They are lucky to get one star! The restrooms are absolutely filthy!!!! Gas station bathrooms are cleaner than these! Staff are grouchy and obviously don't like or appreciate their jobs.

Not a good place to watch baskerball. if your team is in the middle court hard to see. The lighting in the middle courts is terrible. Its hard to believe this place is for real.
