Rupp Arena

Since the Rupp Arena has been remodeled, the sound system is amazing. It is a good place for the basketball games.The parking is crazy expensive.

I lived out my teenage fantasy dreams and saw Blink-182 and Pierce the Veil here! Getting into the parking garage was easy, and once inside, the arena was huge with vendors and bathrooms wrapping around in a circle. It reminded me of Yankee Stadium. The sound quality was great and every spot looked like it had a good view. The big screens made it easy to enjoy the details of their performance, and the bands performed in the round! There was plenty of security and helpful staff, so grabbing drinks and food, as well as being directed to specific areas was smooth. The overall vibe was electric--great energy from the crowd, and it felt like a really-well run operation. I'd definitely come back for another concert.

Such a great place to watch KY basketball!!! Huge arena and to the KY fans are sooooo loud!! Alot of fun. The place is so clean. Great staff. And the best icecream!!!!

I'm at Rupp arena to see Blake Shelton. Tickets were on the high bench seats with no back. But the sound is good and good view from high up.

We attended the Tim McGraw concert here 6/15/24. I bought tickets for this concert almost a year ago when the tour was announced and we chose Lexington to give us somewhere new to go. This arena was very easy to find and to navigate. Our seats were great. Concessions were good, but expensive like every other arena. The location is nice and centrally located downtown by several good restaurants, triangle park and hotels.

First time going for uk basketball game. Had fun! Bathrooms were well kept, short wait times at concession stand.

Visited Rupp Arena on a Friday night to see comedian Nate Bargatze's show. We were impressed with the venue -- extremely clean and well maintained. Clear signage and plenty of staff available to assist patrons navigating to their seats. The seats near the stage were terrific, nicely padded, although even those became a bit uncomfortable by the end of the 2+ hour show. Exiting the venue was efficient and we were returned quickly to the outdoors within less than 10 minutes. The central stage setup with seating in the round and large video monitors allowed for every seat in the house to be top notch. Looking forward to a return visit and worth the trip from Louisville.

We went to Rupp Arena for the boys high school state tournament. We have not been in awhile since our last UK basketball game. We had good seats and they were comfortable. We were in section 17 row M and could see the game well. We enjoyed the game but our team lost, however the venue was goo.

I haven't been to an event at Rupp in probably 10+ years. We were here on Dec 30th for the Tyler Childers concert. Getting to the venue wasn't an issue and the initial entry wasn't a problem. The main issue we encountered was that while going through security, each line seemed to have it's own rules with bags. My friend's bag was right within the guidelines but she almost had to bag check it. I had a clear bag so we took several things out of her bag to put into mine so she wouldn't have to pay the $20 to check her bag. Meanwhile, in the line next to us, bags twice the allowed size were going through security with no issue. Overall, the concert was great and the venue was ok. There could be more consistency with the security lines.

Rupp Arena was my go to for my Kentucky Wildcat Games and more. This place holds lots of fond memories for me. I forgot about it until my friend Paige rubbed it in that my beloved Wildcats lost last night. It's not newsworthy in Manhattan! Congrats Paige and thanks for giving me another review on my record. If I still lived in Eastern Kentucky I'd be back here a lot. I'm recommending you check the schedule of the activities going on at the Arena and attend as much as you can! You're welcome!
