    The KFC Yum! Center is one of my favorite arenas. It’s an arena with great modern features.The seats are comfortable, and there are some awesome concessions. I love how there’s a Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, KFC, and unique concessions like Haute Dog and Char BBQ. The gourmet Mac n cheese bar has a rotating menu based on the event taking place which is so cool. All of the concession workers were so hospitable. Love the location of the arena as it gives you great views of the water and bridges.

    First time to this venue, great seats...we were in section 112 rows T & U great view of the wrestling event. Bathrooms were well maintained. Souvenirs were reasonably priced for an event like this. Food prices weren't too bad, what we expected mini pizza hut personal pan pizzas were $9 each and a large souvenir cup was $8. Event parking was $10 also which we didn't think was too bad. Overall great experience!!

    I took my daughter to the KFC Yum! Center last night to see the Lumineers in concert. That was our second time seeing them this summer. We had seen them a few moths ago at Riverbend in Cincinnati. We both felt like we enjoyed the show even more at the Yum center. The lights, stage, sound and the facility were all great. We had an amazing time. Except for the young lady that couldn’t hold her liquor and vomiting on our seats. Other than that everything was fantastic.

    Attended the Happier Than Ever World Tour here. Staff was all very friendly and helpful. Gaining entrance was a streamlined process despite the hoards of people and didn't take long at all. Also, venue is smaller than I expected which made for a more intimate experience. I'll be back for sure!

    We went to see Katt Williams & the big screen in our section had a black rectangle not working, so most comedians were blocked most of the time. Friendly service, high prices & someone definitely needs to fix the top right rectangle on the screen facing section 111

    Really nice stadium and event facility! It looks like every seat in the house is a good seat . . . no matter if you are there for a concert, basketball game, or other event. The facility is well maintained and the bathrooms were very clean. The food prices are exactly what you would expect at a facility like the KFC Yum Center. The parking was convenient and made it easy to get in and out of the facility. The staff stationed around the facility were kind and helpful. The KFC Yum! Center is the home of the University of Louisville men’s and women’s basketball programs and women’s volleyball program.

    I went to the Blake Shelton Back to the Honky Tonk tour and was very impressed with the venue. It was very modern, good seating all around, and a lot of food/drink options to choose from. The parking around the arena was easily accessible from various parking garages. In fact, there was a Skywalk on 4th floor of adjacent parking garage to get to arena safely from traffic. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience there.

    Except for the smoke being throughout the entire place... It is a wonderful place to see a concert. Small so no really bad seats. The food was wonderful. Typical prices so cheap isn't on the menu.

    Excellent venue. Easy access and quick processing. Drink policy is reasonable and makes sense for groups. Prices aren’t that much higher than surrounding bars as well.

    Have enjoyed a few concerts here, most recently Stevie Nicks. Love the name of the venue.

  • 5/5 Jack F. 9 months ago on Google
    I thought the Yum Center was such a cool spot to see Stevie Knicks. I had no idea how big it was going to be but it was a really nice size. It was large enough to hold a concert and feel like it was packed but small enough to feel like you were close enough to the artists. Security check lines were fast and service workers were very nice. I would recommend utilizing a parking garage around the arena and walking in. Mind you, the closer you get, the more expensive it will be. I paid $15 and it was around a half mile walk in. Definitely worth it. They have plenty of police on the streets making sure traffic stops for pedestrians, seeing that it can get very congested.

    Went during march madness earlier this year. First time being inside and it was very nice, well maintained and friendly staff. They did not accept cash at the game. Maybe other events do, but look it up ahead of time. Other than that, I loved our seats and our experience!!!

    PBR was an absolute blast! We had such a great time and the venue was very nice!

    I went to a concert there a few years ago. I had a great experience going with a wonderful friend. Our seats were fantastic, to be honest. That being said, I recall glancing around the large space, thinking, " I truly do not see a bad seat in this place."

    Highly recommend some type of lighting for the stairs leading up to assigned seat numbers - my senior citizen ages mother fell on the stairs leading up to our assigned seats and has a large egg on her left arm because the stairs had no type of lighting. She also hit her head on the pavement step but wasn’t injured or hurt in her head. Parking, food, drinks, and souvenirs were highly overpriced as well- paid more for a t-shirt than the actual tickets cost

    Being a veteran concert rocker, I don't understand $300 dollar tickets & 15 dollar beers. Bottom line; greed. Going to start buying DVDs and having concerts in living room lol.

    It was such a great experience getting to be with the UofL Women's Basketball Team and in the starting lineup with Hailey Van Lith! The Team beat #11 North Carolina, and it was so exciting! The UofL Women's Basketball Team should be ranked. I want to thank the KFC Yum Center for hosting the Pink Out Game for the Breast Cancer Survivors, including myself!

    Great venue with good prices and good vibes. Lighting was phenomenal. The band totally came to play and KFC Yum! Center got them exactly the venue they needed.

  • 4/5 John W. 1 year ago on Google
    Sat in Section 211 for Jason Bonham and Kid Rock. Seats and show were great. Location is good with bar and bathrooms right behind us. My beef dog was good, but it would be nice to have some healthier options to go along with the burgers and dogs. Drink prices were high at $22 for a double but not beyond similar venues.

    Had an awesome time at the KFC Yum! Center! Staff was very friendly and the lines moved quick! Pentatonix was great as well! Will definitely make the drive from Indy again for another show!

    This state of the art venue, is beautiful. Not a bad seat in the lower bowl. We watch basketball there, it's a really great atmosphere. Food items at large in selections. Beer is cold, don't get much better. Cheers🥃😋🤠

  • 4/5 Steve Simpkins (. 2 years ago on Google
    A great venue for concerts and events in the heart of downtown Louisville by the river. Even with all of the people the volunteers and event staff kept things moving smoothly. If you've never been there It's worth checking out!
