I went to a Hillsong elevation worship concert here. It was huge and every seat was filled! But super nice building the concert was awesome! They also had like a little shop in the upper floor that was kinda neat as well.

Went to see Casting Crowns tonight. What an amazing feature to see. I don't have any idea why more people don't listen to them. The opening act was so good. I don't want to over state how much fun I had. Recommend checking out this venue period. What a way to grow. By listening to this music

My husband and I were just here May 20 for Friday Night Smackdown. While the event itself was very enjoyable, the venue is your standard arena. Bathrooms were decent, and the food and drinks were overpriced as they usually are at these types of places. The only personal downside for me was the lack of mask protocol, if not for anything else to mask the onslaught of the smell of beer, sweat, must, hot breath, and rear end mixed together. For women, you can't bring in purses, only small hand clutches. And the seats are super close together, which isn't a problem, except when you have persons who are much bigger in size trying to squeeze into a seat while invading your personal space. Otherwise, we had a pretty good time.

The presence of God filled the whole arena. It was wild. God loves western Michigan and has so much in store for this region! Practically, the arena is great for events such as concert and conferences. The sound is crisp if done right, the echo isn’t bad, bathrooms are good, and the food options are mid. The one bad thing about the food is that there’s no gluten free or dairy free options.

Good place for events. Good views from about everywhere. Staff are friendly. Lots of clean bathrooms and many food and drink options. Parking available all over town. Getting in can be a hassle some times. Good times for hockey fans, new basketball team here as well.

Great place for shows. If you get floor tickets, get general admission. Seats are folding chairs attached to other folding chairs. Worse than regular seats. You'll appreciate a regular seat more.

I'll have to say that my time at the Van Andel was the best time I had in Flint Michigan you know a lot of people will say that it was cold and some people will say that it was snowing but in the Van Andel I was toasty as a button and the food on site was fire I mean shout out to Chef Maurice and all the delicious food him and his staff put out there for us and shout out to everybody else that made the Billy strings Van Andel scramble such a success.

One of the friendliest concert staff! Even when guests were hard to handle they showed kindness. The stage was super close for my tickets and all the seats looked good to sit in! One of the best times I've ever had! See You Again!

Fantastic! Clean and convenient venue, friendly staff, parking garage was easy enough and close. Saw the Jurassic World show with the kids. It's also nice that they didn't have a bunch of advertisements outside the building to spoil the surprise, so my kids didn't know what they were going to until they were IN the arena itself. I look forward to future events.

Been here many times for shows and concerts! Always great! I know my way around it from front to back. Here's some of my favorite shots from seeing twenty one pilots there in 2019

The seats are little, and I always feel like I'm going to fall down the stairs. The climb is so steep. Every concert you see at least one person miss a step and slide. You can see pretty good from any seat. That's a plus. Also, it's always SO hot!

I recently went to the People's Tour featuring Quinn XCII with special guests ARIZONA and Julia Wolf at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, MI. The concert was amazing and the venue was perfect! The acoustics at Van Andel Arena were incredible. The sound was clear and crisp, and you could hear every word of the songs. The arena is also very spacious, so there was plenty of room to move around and dance. There were plenty of concession stands and merch tables throughout the arena, so you never had to go far to get what you needed. The restrooms were also well-maintained and clean. Getting in and out of the arena was very easy. There were plenty of parking options available, and the security lines moved quickly. The best part of the show was ARIZONA. They were so energetic and engaging, and they really got the crowd involved. They even brought out a random fan to play drums on stage with them! Overall, I had a great experience at Van Andel Arena. The venue is perfect for concerts, and the staff is friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to see a show! 🤩 - The acoustics were amazing! 💃 - The crowd was so energetic! 🥁 - ARIZONA brought out a random fan to play drums on stage! 💯 - I had a great time!

We had a great time!! It was a bit small, but that didn't stop the show. The bike show was pretty cool at the beginning. But the monster truck show was fun to watch. There were 2 times that the trucks couldn't perform, but I just think it was time management. I do recommend taking your family, though. Parking wasn't so bad, and entering wasn't that bad either.

The concert was great. The venue over all was good. My only complaints were: very expensive food and Bev. $5.50 for a cup of ice water with no lid or straw. $17.00 for beer (I didn't drink-just putting it out there) . They had no bags for purchased merchandise. The pros were: Entry went very smoothly. The staff was very friendly and polite, I had to kindly ask one of the ushers to step aside as he was standing right in front of my 10yr old daughter. He was very kind and after that was very cautious not to obstruct her view. The bathrooms on the floor level were immaculate! I was shocked how well they were, you don't get that in a lot of venues. (Koodos to the bathroom keeper!) All in all, good experience! Would go again.

We came here on Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville night It was also the last home game of the year for the Griffins. As a free giveaway we got a summer farmers hat. The concessions seem to have all the normal trappings, however we were full from the day of adventuring. Great seats and view. Looks like there is not a bad seat in the house. Griffin's lost but it was still a good game to watch. Great place to catch very competitive hockey and have a good time with friends.

First time at this venue. WWE Monday Night RAW! Parking EVERYWHERE. Was informed that there are many restaurants around, but no fast food nearby, and we were running late. If you're going to buy food or drinks (it's a Pepsi venue as I write this revue), and they have plenty to offer in basic food...burgers, pizza, etc....and much to offer in beer and spirits, do plan on paying A LOT for it. $10 for a burger and waffle fries...$16 for an 18oz beer. Oh, yeah! And the venue is primarily Cash Free! CARD ONLY! These days not completely inconvenient, but foreknowledge would have been a bonus.

Went to a Grand Rapids Gold basketball game and had a great time with the family. It was Star wars night which made it even better with lightsabers and costumes everywhere. It was a close game. Parking was close which was nice since my wife has a hurt foot. Food was a little high prices but very good. Even caught a t-shirt! Highly recommend, kids had a great time

Saw Thomas Rhett here a while back, great concert great place for a concert also the acoustics are wonderful because it's a smaller place not as big as some other arenas. A little more up close and personal. Recently went and saw Eric Church there also.

Visited for the Grand Rapids Griffins game. Venue was clean, staff was friendly and helpful. Large food selection from affordable in-hand snacks up to extreme stadium buckets. Merchandise was a bit pricey but no more than anywhere else.

The Van Andes Arena is one of the top three venues in Michigan. The facility is located in the heart of Grand Rapids and was established in 1996. The total capacity is close to 12,000 and there isn’t a bad seat in the house. Recently, I attended a Dixie Chicks concert with my Mother and the acoustics were top notch. I’d highly recommend making a visit for any and all special events!

Attended the Jurassic World Tour at Van Andel and felt the venue was perfect for the event. The arena is aesthetically pleasing from the outside, and in the center of Grand Rapids. Concession stand speeds are very good, and facility is efficient. My only critique is the size of the chairs - very small.

Really nice place that comfortably holds a packed house. Our section was packed but we still had plenty of room around us. Plenty of parking is available all around as well as drop off zones and there is a ton of dining options around the area. The arena and all of its amenities were kept up with and clean

Always a great show at the Van Andel!! Keith Urban was amazing! Not really a bad seat in the house! Quick but thorough security check at the door. Easy ticket scanning to get in. Prices have gone up with inflation, but that is to be expected. I definitely recommend Van Andel Arena!!
