text: It is funny how much people love this place now considering the battle and war it took to get this thing built The arena went up without voter consent and boy am I glad it didnnIve been to a wide range of events here Concerts Checkers Bobcats major tournaments the circus Always fun and there is not really a bad seat in the placennThe new craft beer garden is an awesome addition this year It features local brews I waited in line for a long time the other night at Pearl Jam but it was worth it Pricing is just a little bit more than your concession stand BudMillerCoors nnOne of my favorite things about TWC Arena is what it does for our local businesses I saw this first hand as a bartender moment of silence for Dixies Tavern The amount of people each event brings to uptown is a welcome sight for any business owner and worker We were on a mission to grab food before Pearl Jam Every restaurant was packed packed on a Wednesday night when normally there would be little to no one out nnParking advice if you plan on pre or post event drinks or food go somewhere that validates parking It will save you big time The decks and lots can charge or more Fitzgeralds is the closest to the arena It validates the Wake Forest garage next to it Queen City Q validates for th Street Station A few blocks down Cowbell validates the Fifth Third deck
