Renee BaroneJune 23, 2015The 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 ChildressSeptember 14, 2014Really good concert venue. We had a small seating issue, guest services got us taken care of quickly, easily, and in a professional, kind manner.
- 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)
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.
visitPAMarch 30, 2015The 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!- Renee BaroneJune 23, 2015The drinks were good! The escalator was broken when we got there used step leaving. Very crowed place. Had a blast at the Stones concert!
Jason H.April 17, 2016Really nice, comfortable arena with lots of great seats and good food options. Fans are nice and welcoming to out of town guests.
A really nice stadium. Clean and easy to get around. Great for Pens games but equally as good for the NCAA basketball games.
Gene BMarch 31, 2014Good 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.
Kristopher WeissJanuary 18, 2016Concerts 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.
Matt SzaboSeptember 27, 2011Great 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.
Lara HoenshellJanuary 21, 2015The customer service heee is top notch! I'm in a wheelchair and they go above and beyond to assist me with anything I need!!!!
There's not a bad seat in the house. This arena deserves all of the awards it has received. A great arena for hockey.
Painting with a TwistJune 21, 2013The 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!
Gail BouvyMay 13, 2014If you are handicapped they will take you up in elevator. They also have wheelchairs. Everyone there is exceptionally helpful.
Good sight lines for basketball. Unique food options. Pot-roast poutine paired with sports--yum!
Joel TortorielloAugust 25, 2017Pens everything, took the tour with Joanne; she was awesome. The arena was incredible!
ESPNApril 18, 2012During 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.
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!
Rob WilhoitFebruary 25, 2012This place has it all. They have hockey games, basketball games and national touring musicians and comedians. A great environment.
Thomas CoxJuly 30, 2018Nice venue, been to a couple of shows there. Fleetwood Mac and more recently the Foo Fighters.
Home of the Pittsburgh Penguins! Not a bad seat in the house.
Try to get row A in the upper bowl for extra leg room. Acoustics are a bit questionable when not mixed properly.
Julie McDonoughMay 24, 2013The seating for hockey games are great, but it's wonderful for concerts...great acoustics!
Welcome to the home of the most exciting team in Hockey. Look around the arena their in plenty of Penguins history around you.
D ™September 3One of the craziest names that I ever traveled to and I work for the WWE! 11 years strong! 🫡🤙🏽- Great venue for hockey and concerts! Not a bad seat in the house.
Kevin NovoaMarch 1, 2016If you have kids make sure to pay the $100 to meet iceburgh. My daughter loved it.

Put your trash in the appropriate receptacle. So easy! Thanks.
Go pens! Beer could be cheaper but I just drink before the game so it's all good!
- ESPNMarch 13, 2012This 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.
Eve McGivernSeptember 17, 2010Eat 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.
The Penguins of course! Burgatory runs a good second!
Jeff B.February 12, 2013Go Pens!! Grew up going to all your games with my dad, haven't been to the new arena though. Need to get me some tickets!
Looking for a healthier alternative? All STACKS locations have both caesar salads and fruit salads!
Randy ForebackNovember 1, 2010Be 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.
Have sat in almost every section in this place and there truly is not a bad seat in the place!
Judy LipinskiMay 1, 2013Skip the bud light..seek out rivertowne. Draft and cans. All over but just outside 107.
