  Just got home from seeing Aaron Lewis at the M&T Bank Center here in Schenectady. Overall, it was a good experience, but I do have some gripes concerning parking and amenities here. Allow me to explain: The facility overall is easy to get to off of Harborside drive; however parking can be tricky here as the on-site lot fills up for “preferred” M&T Bank customer parking along with patrons from Druthers sharing the same lot. There is a lot adjacent from The Shaker & Vine but that’s a luck-of-the-draw scenario, you may get lucky and squeeze in there, same with the Rivers Casino parking, otherwise you have to park way out to Nott Street where the Golub Corp is located, and that’s quite a walk to the venue, which can be inconvenient. I understand this venue has growing pains as it is relatively new, but removing the preferred parking and expanding the existing parking lot attached to the venue would make much more sense. Concerning seating; my girlfriend and I were in section 8, and the seats here are CRAMPED like sardines, next to other patrons. I’m 6’5”, and I kept rubbing elbows to the gentleman to my left. Thankfully he was nice; otherwise it would have been a long night. Having some arm rests and more spaces between seats would be better. There also was an issue with speakers/PA being able to be heard in this section, as the speakers are facing the other way, when this section should have been blocked off so we could face the artist instead of being to their side, which was a bit strange. Overall, the facility is clean and new, but the lack of parking, quick access to the venue, and more space in between seats for taller folk would be better. I’ll pass coming here again.

  Drove 4 hours up to see the Jersey Shore Breaks play the New York Phoenix, great game but the arena makes it even better! What a venue for the NY Phoenix, good crowd and some seriously high level basketball being played inside this remarkable facility!
