Landers Center

This is a great event center. It's in a safe area. There is plenty of parking. The concessions are okay, not great. Good security. My only complaint is that at my event there that was two days; it was so very extremely cold that we thought we were going to have to leave the Women's Christian Conference. It was not just me everyone I talked to was freezing. Some women went and bought blankets. I wore a short sleeve dress that came to my ankles and a sweater shawl. At the break I went out and got my jacket that i had worn from the previous night and put it on. I also wore my socks on my hands. My friend wore her house slippers. You could have hung meat in the center. I don't think I will be back. We were all miserably cold.

I think the staff behavior could honestly improve so bad. I was at the Landers Center getting ready for graduation and couple of the staff were very rude. I tried hard to express the physical pain that I was feeling after falling in the tent. The ground felt hard but no too bad. This place in my opinion isn't fully ADA accessible in so many ways.

Hosted a team building activity for work. The events planning team was awesome. Abby was always so responsive and made the catering options easy for our team. Lots of space and parking available to accommodate any sized groups. Friendly rates. Facilities were clean. Highly recommend.

Overall a great place, we had the gymnastics meet here, the security staff was great and easy to get in and out of. It is a great location for the venue we had, my concern was dropping off our kids and largely the pickup. I understand it's a huge event and hard to structure everything perfect just the retired cop and dad in me.

Never again. 200 plus people at every entrance to get in. Whoever is in charge should be replaced.Well it got better inside. Only a 30 minute wait for drinks.

You know I can't believe this is actually my first review to Landers Center however I have been to this location before-- sometimes the parking is pretty hectic and sometimes it's a little bit chaotic and sometimes it's a little more than overpopulated because most of these events tend to have a sellout crowd--most of these events here do quite well it's just it gets really chaotic when it's time to one park for the and then to but I have to say this particular time not the case-- it could be possible because this is the kids event it was a family oriented event that it was it was not over populated but it was a nice size crowd for the type of event and there were tons of kids which is totally expected gaining entry to the parking lot was anything actually attending today's event was well received and way more pleasant of a visit then my past visits -- May be having a oversize price sign at the light where you turn into Landers Center would help for patrons to go ahead and have their cash maybe just more so this little signage before you actually approach the area where they're taking the money so you get the patrons a heads up they have their money--The parking staff was operating on anymore I guess you could say more Swift basis they seem to be more attentive to get people on in and out which is a great specially when you're trying to be on time for you than you wanna spend the majority of your time in a line to pay for parkingIn all Landers Center hosted Sesame Street Live in a five star way today!

First visit was for a concert. Doors opened at 7pm, metal detectors in place before we got inside. Good concept in my opinion and the line moved fast. Once inside there were concession stands and bathrooms located near the entrance we came in. Concession stand food consisted of typical offerings like popcorn, nachos, hotdogs, coca cola products, beer, etc.. prices were fair to me. They also served alcoholic beverages in the main hallway as well as inside the concert space. The concert space was small compared to other venues in the area that hosts concerts that I've been to, yet our view was still a good view of the stage. There were occasional sound issues, but according to some ppl that frequent the place often, this is a common issue. Parking was not an issue, we arrived early and were in our seats by 730pm. I would definitely come back for events.

The Tool concert was a nightmare!!! For REAL!So many things are wrong with this place when describing the mayhem that ensued before, during, and after this show. First. Why in the hell do you have only one entrance open to the arena? It took 45 minutes to get in after we got close. Oh yeah, because you're greedy and needed to collect $5 from every car parked on the lot after collecting ticket costs beforehand. There where three lines taking money for the entire lot. If you didn't have cash, turn around and leave. Luckily, I keep a good knot on me. This was a sold out show btw! Completely full! People everywhere. Second. Why in the hell did the show start at 6:30 instead of 7:00? Oh yeah, because you imposed a 10:30 cut off for the show. If they hadn't started early Tool would have played 5 songs (more on that in a bit). I'm not sure if Desoto County is responsible for this but I sure will remember this novel fact moving forward. I'd love some clarity on this Landers!!!! (Feel free to respond!)Third. You had one door at each entrance open. Why???????? It took 20 minutes to get inside your little arena. After gaining entry it was mayhem. You couldn't walk down any hallway. It was packed, the bathroom lines were 200-250 yards long. Funny thing is, there where bathrooms empty on the south side of the arena. Luckily, I knew this from being here before. Why not tell people this handy fact while staff stood by watching people standing in stupid lines?I'll give you some credit here on the actual show. The sound was good! I'm probably giving you credit for what the Band's production team did. Oh yeah, one giant problem is I missed 2/3's of the band that I really wanted to see. Primus started at 7:00 instead of 3 teeth. I got near the arena at 6:40 thinking I had time to see them. Little did I know the show was already underway. Speaking of missing shows. Tool's set was short by 4 songs due to time limits. Boooooooo!!!!Fourth. I don't smoke. I am glad I quit. You had two standard doors in and out for every smoker at a Tool show?? I bet 70 percent of these folk were still addicted. There was smoke two feet thick inside because they couldn't get outside to smoke. Staff walked through clinging to each other bitching about the crowd instead of being proactive and opening another door. Seriously I witnessed a line of staff of 5 women and 1 man leading with him yelling at people to put out their cigarettes. He kept telling his "gals" they only had till 10:30. One woman commented "I dreaded this event". My one regret was not getting all of their names. Fifth. It took almost an hour to get out of the parking lot after the show. Why??? No traffic control!!! The other entrance/exit was still BLOCKED! ONE EXIT !! I had to get stupid aggressive to even get out in the time I did. Not again. Landers Center. Never. You can keep that mess.

So it was an ok game but I had the pretzel and milkshake I woke up the next morning and threw up 12 times at the kid area there were two teens who were racist said a slur and were cussing I am in pain from the food that made me sick overall grizz games are better

Great venue, reasonable prices, had fantastic seats. Only real negative is the exit, it took over thirty minutes just to get out of the parking lot. Maybe having people guide the traffic may help.
