Great location for your favorite concerts ✌????️

Jason Shellhammer

Good seating. Decent pricing, good crowds. Fair vending prices.

Renee Barone

The Bob Seger concert was great! The sound was fabulous. It's walking distance from the Omni William Penn. drinks were a little high in price but they were great! The staff was very helpful and polite

Steve Childress

Really good concert venue . We had a small seating issue, guest services got us taken care of quickly, easily, and in a professional, kind manner.

Go to the Smokehouse in the 200 level and order a Kielbasa Grinder . thinly shaved kielbasa topped with kraut and 1000 Island dressing , BEST meal in the area! Read more

Jon Fetch

Not a bad seat in the place! GREAT stadium seating... just be ready to buy $8 beers and know there is NOWHERE to smoke (no balconies/outdoor areas)

The Pittsburgh Penguins play at CONSOL Energy Center®, the country 's first LEED® Gold Certified major sports venue. Recently, the team was named by Forbes magazine as having the NHL’s best fans!

James Patrick

Arrive early and visit the top level for a Burgatory burger before the game. Don't forget the fries ... and take the time to seek out a Yuengling on draft .

Jason H.

Really nice, comfortable arena with lots of great seats and good food options. Fans are nice and welcoming to out of town guests.

Painting with a Twist

The Consol is a fantastic state of the art arena. Something Pittsburgh has needed for quite some time. The Pens have an absolutely great venue. Bring us home another CUP! Let's go Pens!

Connor

A really nice stadium . Clean and easy to get around. Great for Pens games but equally as good for the NCAA basketball games.

ESPN

During playoff games, home and away games are shown on the big screen outside the arena. It’s an unreal atmosphere to cheer for a Pens victory.

Lara Hoenshell

The customer service heee is top notch! I'm in a wheelchair and they go above and beyond to assist me with anything I need!!!!

Gene B

Good place to park for game is the open air parking lot at intersect of Grant St&Forbes Av. I paid $5 for Sun nite gm. <10 min walk.Felt safe walking back at night. Rate near the Center was $20-25.

Renee Barone

The drinks were good! The escalator was broken when we got there used step leaving. Very crowed place. Had a blast at the Stones concert !

Matt Szabo

Great atmosphere for hockey . Big names and lots of talent on the ice. Great for hockey games and other events . I've seen multiple concerts here and they have been a phenom.

John Mann

No Pepsi or Coke at this arena, they only have RC Cola. Try a Yuengling Beer and a Primanti Bros. sandwich . If you need help deciding which Seats to purchase for your next Penguins game, check out Read more

Jamie-Lynn Kertesz

Beautiful facility! Not a bad seat in the place! If you want to check out the giant Goalie Mask there's less of a crowd after the game when everyone's making a mad dash to get out of there!

Mike Timko

There's not a bad seat in the house. This arena deserves all of the awards it has received. A great arena for hockey .

Leslie Gonya

Good sight lines for basketball . Unique food options. Pot-roast poutine paired with sports--yum!

Home of the bet team in Hockey , #Penguins. Not a bad seat in the place!

One of the craziest names that I ever traveled to and I work for the WWE! 11 years strong! ????????????

Kristopher Weiss

Concerts sound horrible. Sold naming rights to everything, every level, gate and even the box office . Opened doors late to 2016 Boss concert , which led to a crush and people banging on doors - scary.

ESPN

This is the first time CONSOL has hosted the NCAA Tournament, but across the street in the old "Igloo", the #15 Coppin State Eagles knocked off #2 South Carolina in 1997.

Amanda Gribble Wilson

Home of the Pittsburgh Penguins! Not a bad seat in the house.

Joel Tortoriello

Pens everything, took the tour with Joanne; she was awesome. The arena was incredible!

The Smokehouse food selections are great. Best pork nachos .

Nice venue, been to a couple of shows there. Fleetwood Mac and more recently the Foo Fighters.

Julie McDonough

The seating for hockey games are great, but it's wonderful for concerts ...great acoustics !

Eve McGivern

Eat before the show. Hot dogs were $7, soda $4 for 20 oz., water $3, and chips about the same. $22.50 for 2 hot dogs , 2 non-alcoholic drinks and a bag of chips . Beer and alcohol runs about $7 each.

Mat Collis

Cool place and friendly staff . Lots of food choice too

Allen Vogliano

Try to get row A in the upper bowl for extra leg room. Acoustics are a bit questionable when not mixed properly.

Dana Allen

Easy to navigate. Good seats, friendly staff .

Head right inside the American Eagle Gate and snap a pic with your favorite players by the American Eagle board. Share on Twitter with #aestudentrush. -Cassie, Social Media Coordinator

If you have kids make sure to pay the $100 to meet iceburgh. My daughter loved it.

Nigel Cammack

The Penguins of course! Burgatory runs a good second!

Randy Foreback

Be sure to wear some head gear with a chin strap so that you aren't injured by having your jaw hit the floor when you see this place for the first time. Awe inspiring.
