Arkansas State University Convocation Center

Son graduated here this year. Daughter has graduated here as well as others we have attended. Be prepared: you cannot take a purse in, of course no weapons, and other things I can't remember. You will walk through a detector. This is in place for our safety and I do appreciate it. Plenty of security. Very kind and helpful staff. Easy access for handicap from parking to getting inside to seating. I do wish that the audience was asked to take their talking outside and mandated it though. I tried to video the part of my son walking. They ruined it with their loud obnoxious talking 2 rows behind. People in the row directly behind had enough of them as they talked loudly the ENTIRE time and asked them kindly to please keep their voices down. A man spoke up from the loud row and said, "We are a loud family." And they all only got louder. This is a once in a lifetime for us all, and they ruined the experience with their rudeness.

Cozy little stadium with reasonable nosebleeds. We went to see Nate Bargatze stand-up comedy for ~$35 for seats in the top section. Parking was $10. Came back to see Bert Kreischer also stand-up comedy. Much bigger crowd, place was roaring with laughter. Parking was still $10, and tickets were reasonable Concessions are obviously expensive, but there aren't any places close enough to grab a bite quickly at. Popcorn is not very buttered and not very salty. BBQ is subpar, but edible. And they have fountain and bottled sodas Coke products.

I had never been to First National Bank Arena before and a friend had tickets to see Casting Crowns. I had also never heard Casting Crowns before and got a pleasant surprise by attending this concert. Seating was good, parking was good, and the concert was fantastic. I will definitely attend concerts there in the future.

Attended a High school graduation there. The facility is big and seating is great. There could be more attention made to the details to make these kids have a lasting memory of the graduation. The mic cut out afew times during speeches of the honored graduates. Camera work for the Megatron was weak and how about some mood lighting to add as they enter. Maybe this is controlled by the high school but is there package options available for them that could improve the feel? The mic issue was the biggest concern for me. This is a big moment in life for these kids and technical difficulties should not be an issue.

Went to rodeo there. Seats were comfortable and doesn't look like there are any bad seats. Easy access to concession stands

Always a great place to visit for any event. I went here on May 6th for a graduation and it was not too overcrowded, and temperature inside was great.

Staff are very rude and hateful. They have stupid regulations there too. Just what I would expect from something a bank would own. Don't bother making them richer than they are, it's not worth it.

All the 5 stars must be for the shows and not the arena itself or employees...I have come to the conclusion they employee folks who couldn't work anywhere else. Due to ignorance, laziness or lack of self awareness.

Since the bank bought the arena from the college, they have done nothing to fix it up and they have a third of the shows they used to have. The bank seems to only be interested in the 10 bucks a car parking fee instead of having great shows and fixing the place up.

Went to see Lauren Daigle. Had an amazing time. The lights were absolutely amazing along with great bass and acoustics
