Smoothie King Center

GO PELS! I enjoy games here. The hubs and I usually have amazing seats, the courtside club and the energy here is pretty epic! The staff is friendly and attentive, the club food is tasty AF, the selection is great, and tables are bussed and cleaned frequently. Sadly, the pelicans have lost every single game I've attended, but thankfully that doesn't detract from the fun had by all. All in all, great NBA games and a great arena!

A smooth stadium experience! Pro-tip, if you're using rideshare ask them if they can drop you off right outside the gate or else you'll have to walk for about 10 mins. The space was incredibly easy to navigate, gave out lots of swag, and clean.Hope to be back soon!

This was one of the smoothest processes I had entering a venue to attend a concert. It is a smaller arena, but they handled things very well.GLOWS:-There were multiple points of entry which made getting into the venue a breeze, especially because doors were opened a few minutes ahead of time. -The lines for merch, drinks, and food were quickly moving---especially if you arrived a few moments early.-The seats were very comfortable! GROWS:-The sound system was messed up at the concert due to the artist's mic being set so much lower than the background music. I don't know if it was on the artist's end or the venue's end... but it did ruin moments of the show for me. -There were not many signs around the inside of the concert that was showing. It made it difficult to get a photos --- but I know that is a part of VIP these days.

I came here for a Pelicans game while I was visiting New Orleans. From the street car it was a long walk to get to the stadium. You have to walk up different sets of stairs to get to the main entrance. Once we were in front we got through security quickly. We were seated in the upper rows but you can still see everything clearly. Zion was back finally so we got to see him in action. As with any other arena food and drinks are incredibly expensive. Be sure to bring your wallet if you plan to enjoy a meal while watching a game. It was T Shirt giveaway night so all the seats had one. Good thing we picked it up before sitting down because by the end of the first quarter everything was already taken. Afterwards getting out of the stadium was easy. There didn't seem much to do in the immediate area so you have to walk a little father to enjoy dinner or drinks after the game.

We had a fine time at the Smoothie King Center. We went on 3/18/23 to the the Professional Bull Riders invitational. We had a fine time. We did park in a closed lot with an attendant and a state trooper at the entrance/exit. That's always nice. This photo is from section 303. I think it was a great view. The venue as well as the bathrooms were clean with plenty of staff and security. One thing to note.... fountain drinks come with no lid and no straws. The large is $8 but you get free refills.

I came here for a game over spring break with my family and it was amazing! But there were some things that definitely could be improved on. 1. More ADA accessibility. I have epilepsy so being up high doesn't do well for me so I had to relocate seats. Half of my family was in their original seats whilst my mom and I were thankfully down in the 100 section. It took some time for them to consider moving us to a different location. But overall besides that I had a good time!

I went for a Courtside experience on be half of She Be Eatin. I was able to experience the backcourt club / Chairman's club and get to have access to some great food and drink options. This access comes with the purchase of a courtside seat. Food and drinks are served through out the fourth quarter unlike the rest of the venue. As the players were preparing to run out of the tunnel before the start of the game we were able to watch from the lounge. The food options were almost endless. From meals to snacks there was a candy wall, a popcorn machine, scallops being served, Sliders, tacos, there was even a seafood station with a mountain of boiled shrimp and dungeness crabs. The game was cool. Obviously I was just there for the food experience. They gave away beanies to everyone for the night so a nice take

Over the past two weeks we have had two very different experiences at Smoothie King, both were great. First tickets we won in a raffle and were court side. Wow, such an amazing experience. We got there early and went through the special court side door into the club were we were treated to all you can eat and drink. The club stays open through the game so you never need to purchase concessions. The seats themselves were super comfortable and oh so close to the action, a true experience I will never forget. Last night we went again but with upper level seats we paid for. Sure we were pretty high up but we could still see everything going on the court clearly. I only give 4 stars because the food and drink are a little too expensive and meh, popcorn had been sitting out for a while and the pretzel was cold and undercooked. Beer is almost 11 dollars which is crazy. We will go back I love the Pelicans but we will make sure and eat before hand.

Visiting from the Bay Area, my sister and I celebrated her birthday with a trip to New Orleans, and since she's a Boston Celtics fan, attending the Pelicans vs. Celtics game was the perfect birthday gift for her. The game was super fun! One of the Pelicans fans sitting next to us was incredibly friendly, funny, and entertaining--his playful trash talk had us laughing the whole time. We had a fabulous time soaking in the lively atmosphere and cheering on the Celtics. I also grabbed some snacks from the food court, and the employees were so nice and professional, which made the experience even better. Between the great game, the hilarious fan banter, and the excellent service, it was an unforgettable night. I wouldn't mind going back for another game--highly recommend catching a game in New Orleans if you're in town!

Great arena with so much local pride! We came for an NBA cup game and it was so welcoming and modern.
