Very cool place. Smaller venue than I'm used to but thats what I love about it. Makes the experience more personal.

Very impressed with our visit. We went to a Monster Truck Nitro thing there in the arena, the convention center portion is beautiful and the area is just ok. The rows are very very tight and the upper level is pretty steep for how few seats there are. The concession lines were too long and it is definitely an old arena but it's great for the smaller city of Rochester and the event staff are nice.

We're here for a Joe Bonamassa concert, and it was a great performance!! The Mayo Clinic Civic Center is easy to get to, and parking is free after 5 p.m., on both the parking ramps and on the street.The seating in the upper level is a bit tight between the seating and rows. The stars were a bit steep as well. The bathrooms were clean, and there are plenty of stalls, ladies!!They offered adult beverages and non-alcoholic types, too. The only thing is you need to pour your canned beverages in a plastic glass before entering the arena.Overall, it's a nice place and we'll lit at night.For ticket prices, it would depend on the venue you are going to.

It was a great time, we saw the Sal Volcano stand-up act. It was an easy flow through the security guard check and ticket scanning. Drink and snack line moved along fast. Then plenty of signs and staff to help get us to our seats. The venue layout was great that it seemed like everyone had a great view of the stage! We were very happy with the experience!

Attended a concert in the Auditorium and was dismayed by old, tiny seats crammed very close together with no consideration for adult bodies with no legroom, no elbow room, and no ability to relax. Also had to navigate a short stairway with no handrail to reach our seats which is terrifying with arthritic joints.The good partEven the longest lines were not that long in terms of waiting timeParking ramp is connected by skyway so decent handicapped access.Other notes:Interesting protocol of turning off the lights five minutes before showtime to get people to take their seats.Acoustics were not wonderful. Hard to hear the singing over the instrumentation.

Always clean and comfortable. Staff is very friendly. The city of Rochester is a wonderful place to have an event. The skyway keeps you out of the weather. Restaurants are convenient and varied.

My computer would not project my slideshow (which as a workshop speaker, is unnerving!) and the Mayo Civic Center tech team went above and beyond to help me find a solution. Shoutout for their friendliness and dedication.

Great, wanted to wait on this until a few concerts were in (inside) anyways, I've been to outdoor concerts many times which have been good. Inside has been good too. Plenty of food and drink options, I found the staff to be excellent, helpful, actually more like they want you to have a good experience and I totally did. To the point of unlike any review I've done previous, I want to call them out and say thank you, GREAT JOB! KEEP IT UP!!

A cute small civic center with free parking on evenings on weekends even for big named events like MercyMe! Best sections to sit in for that concert was 120, 125, and 130, row L because seats are more comfortable and a tad more leg room. Had a great time!!

Optimal for viewing concert. Incredibly long line for 2 restrooms! Women's easily had 50 women in line waiting.

Harlem Globetrotters event was great other than if you needed concessions, one stand for the entire event was just poor planning you had to wait in line in the middle of the event for 20 minutes for some cold popcorn, for such an event I feel the planning could have easily been better.

As a grandma I was disappointed that they would even think about serving alcoholic beverages at our children's gymnastics event...What has happened to this world when you can't do anything without alcohol involved ?

Our business team filled one huge room. The sound system was excellent. Our chairs were comfortable. More of the same tomorrow and Sunday.
