The only people to give this venue a bad rating would be the idiots from: 1. Syracuse (CardiacCuse)because they have to pay players to to even visit upstate New York, 2. Philadelphia (Flyer fan) because "Filthadelphia" is the dirtiest city in America and the so called big 5 might not have 2 teams in the top 6 in the state, and 3. gay pride advocates (2521 pride)because there is not a rainbow flag hanging from the rafters. If the 2521pride is looking for some action, he should look in Philadelphia or Syracuse, he'll find lots of action those towns.

Views of the court are very good, but the views from the windows of the surrounding area are awesome.

Great on campus arena. Amazing Lobby with 100 ceilings and glass walls.

this is quite possibly the greatest college basketball venue.

Fuck basketball, how good/bad is it for concerts?

great fans going all game long very tough place to play

I agree with another poster. If you've not been there, don't rate it. If you have been there and don't rate it 4 or 5 stars, you have something personal against Pitt. It is an unbelieveable facility and building. Students right on top of the game, great views from everywhere.

Beautiful view. All seats are good seats. Plenty of restrooms. Good food. Just wish there was more parking

great place to play and watch. nice lobby, all seats are good.

dirty campus

Sucks Bad

Pittsburgh--for now--has the greatest roundball venue in the world.

have you ever hurd of the OAKLAND ZOO??

Anyone who rates The Pete less than 5 stars simply has not been there. It doesn't matter where you are from or who you root for, you gotta give credit where credit is due... and it is due in Pittsburgh.

Peterson Event Center is simply amazing. I've been to all the great ones (Cameron Indoor, Allen Field house, Carrier Dome, UNC) but nothing compares to Petersen Event Center. No bad seat in the house, students are right on the top of the game. Absolutely incredibal atmosphere. The only way to experience it is to visit it. CUSE come to town 1-29-05.

I can't believe this place has this many negative ratings. It is a beautiful facility, Pitt only has 1 loss when playing there.

A beautiful state-of-art facility with great accomodations and not a bad seat in the house. All you negative posters are just haters (probably from WVU).

State of the art arena, bang for your buck, great food and other goodies, impressive screen scoreboard, do I have to say more?

definitely one of the finest on campus college basketball Arena In the country. Perfect size arena where all seats get great view of the game. Equipped with comfortable individual seats. Whole arena equiped with state of the art technologies (b/c it's only 1 and a half years old). video screen scoreboard, which shows live game and replays. Definitely will not miss any actions of the game because all the hall ways in the entire arena are equipped with televisons within 20 ft. The lobby will blow anyone away. With a giant video screen (approx. 30x30ft)right infront of the entrance. No need to explain more. just go visit any website that has photos of Peterson Event center..

other than it being part of the Big East which is the best conference in all of sports, this arena is nothing special

This place is a nice on-campus facility with all the amenities expected from a new arena and more. The Pete is surprisingly intimate for a 12,500-seat arena. I guess it feels this way because it was designed specifically for basketball usage.
