Flint Firebirds

The hockey was amazing. Great atmosphere. The concessions however were not very good and very overpriced. On slice of hot n ready pizza is 4.00

It's a hockey game, you either love it or you hate it, right? Price was great, concussions are a little expensive, but it's a sporting event. Not too many over the top fans, so great family fun

Went to a firebirds game and it was great!! I remember going to the stadium as a kid and was very nostalgic. I will be going to a lot of games here. Also Flint has a great team on the ice!! Overall it was a great experience although security seemed to be a bit lacking. Prices on food and drinks were decent. About $5 to $6 for alcohol and $3 to $4 for nachos and smaller food items.

Game was good. Mic for anthem singer was terrible. Events during game were excellent.

Not a bad seat in the house we will be back. Good hockey with players drafted to the NHL. The facility never looked better nice and clean.

This was my first time going to a hockey game. I loved it and know I will be a loyal fan. The only complaint I have about the venue is the music....too loud. It was so loud it was distorted. Even the speaking voice was distorted and not understandable.

Good game for the family! Seats were good, kids could see very well.

The first 8-10 rows are folding chairs just FYI other then that very good seats

The Dort Event Center was rocking with tons of fans and the Firebirds delivered a great game. The showcase of talent was worth the price if admission and the rivalry between Flint and Saginaw is sure to only get better as time moves on. I will certainly be attending more of these games.

Have never in my life seen a team at such a loss with eachother.....definitely was like they had never played together before. I have never been so disappointed in a game in my life and believe me...i have been to over 500 games between saginaw, kalamazoo, muskegon, red wings. When the team was flint generals and flint spirits i went to every home and away game there was. This after so many years was a slap in the face...how do you get blown away 7 to 1, or 8 to 1 whatever the case may be because i was so disgusted i left with over 10 minutes left of the game. Really wish i wouldnt have wasted my money on 26 dollar seats.....wont happen again i know that.

We paid for parking and there was no parking, took us 20 minutes to find a spot and missed most of the 1st period. They were very unorganized!

Very kid friendly venue at a fair price. lots of kid friendly activities and interaction games to play between game times

I took my 5 year old grandson to his first hockey game, Instead of paying $175 per ticket taking him to see the Detroit Red Wings. I paid $16 a ticket in the first row on the glass to see the Flint Firebirds. We had a great time! The venue is very fan friendly and kid friendly also. We will go again.

If you are looking for something to do, I recommend catching a hockey game. It is a very intimate setting. There is no bad seat in the arena. I had 12 tickets and it was awesome. The prices at the concessions were reasonably priced.

however 2 minor complaints...the scoreboard looks great, the actual game information is very small , i.e. hard to see ...and second ,please upgrade the hot dogs..#whatisthis

We had a great time. Didnt have to leave my house to get the tickets.

Clean arena, parking was reasonable, concessions had fair pricing. We will definitely be buying tickets and coming back!

Everything was great. Only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is that I didn't know the seats were behind the net. It was a little hard to see.

There's more contact in the average 35 and over beer league then what presented in Friday's game...to many games, to much saving themselves for a long season. $12 entertainment we got our money's worth.

The game was fun, and the ticket and concession prices decent (except $10 for parking, give me a break). Haven't been to a game in about 5 or 6 years, since they were the Generals and it was called Perani, and it was nice to see the renovations: cleaner facilities and better lighting and seating. Sorry the Firebirds lost 5-2 (largely due to two bad ref scoring calls) but we will go again.

Very nice evening ... good seats with great view. We had a great view of the net the Firebirds shot at in 1st & 3rd periods.

May have been an OHL game, but it was played like it was at least a minor league game. Great crowd, players knew how to play, hard to tell it was a prospect league. Concessions were also reasonably priced!

As a Canadian, I have been to a few hockey games in my life but I have never EVER been to a game where the visiting team is sequestered to the Locker room during singing of both home and visiting national anthems. Very bad form.. Luckily, I have the whole summer to forget this insulting slap in the face as the firebirds are now done for this season full of controversy and miss steps. Hopefully the ohl will get this team on track before it is ruined for everyone!

Great seats, but unfortunately Flint lost, I mean they didn't even score a goal. Can I get a ticket refund? My kids were sad. We were all emotional after the game. We love hockey Ohl rocks, it's all good now. Going back for more.

The seats were great, I felt like I was in the game with the players. It was a great time and I really appreciated the low ticket prices.

Great seats & fun time .... to bad the birds lost !

Love the Dort federal event center. I go to the firebirds often and have never had a bad time. Great crowd and a lot of fun even before and after game time.

I love hockey whether its NHL, AHL or OHL. Love having a team close by to watch that doesn't cost a fortune to see. The last two games we attended have been losses. This team needs to step up their game and keep the puck out of their end which has been a problem. There have been some trades so hopefully there will be improvement.

Great evening, gave tickets away as a Christmas gift, went with 4 family members, Had a great time, unfortunately FF lost but that is why it was competition look forward to many more games, havent been to Flint hockey in 7 years, have been out of state felt great to be back, they are doing alot at Dort Center to engage the fans, awesome family event Thanks

Seats were good, arena was nice, but parking was over priced for the event.

Flint is a good 1st year home team. Tired old rink. Fans are enthusiastic. Good overall hockey experience. My wife and I have visited all 20 OHL rinks. Less than 5 rinks charge for parking and the $10 parking fee for a family event is a bit high.

Saturday 12/5 Great game & nice atmosphere ... but kids running to seats that are not theirs & standing on seats & standing in front of us ... Arena needs better control of things like that big time.

The biggest rating was from the game itself. I saw a good rivalry game including OT and shootout. Product on the ice was decent. people were getting up and down liberally out of their seats and was really distracting if you really wanted to watch the game.

The game and action was very enjoyable. Both sides had a lot of energy early and there were quite a few end to end rushes with the puck. The seats all seem to have a good view on the ice, I can't see where there are any bad areas to sit. Prices were reasonable as well. It was enjoyable to actually hear the players talking (as well as the referees) during the play. The new screens are great for replay. The negative. They blast loud music (ludicrously loud) until 5 or so seconds after the puck has been dropped to "get loud". Blah. Don't need it. At least turn it off by the time the puck drops. The kiss camera needs to be shelved. Its stupid. The home team was badly outshot, but I think the count was off by at least 20% on the home team shots. Minor issue.

Seats on the glass... Minor league hockey... What could be better? A great time!

I was looking for something to do while back in Michigan this past weekend and decided to try a Firebirds game. It's not quite our old Flint Generals, but they were still exciting to watch. They looked great out there handling the Sarnia team. I am hoping they anchor in and regain the old Generals following. It would be great for the city and the team. The tickets were a steal, the food was priced right, and the arena was looking good. An awesome night of entertainment for the whole family is available there for the taking if you can make it. If they are playing when I come back home, I'll definitely be seeing them again!

The hockey was average, at best, but it's a new team & will take some time to improve. I thought the $10.00 parking fee was excessive, as were the venue tickets. If you want to fill the stadium, as it was in the past when our team was the Flint Generals, you're going to have to make it more affordable, especially for Seniors. Overall, it was an enjoyable evening & I'd go again, just not as often as I might if the tickets were cheaper.

I was very pleased with the restoration of the arena. Everything looked "new" and clean. Entering and exiting both parking lot and building was easy and organized. The price of parking and beer seemed high but in Dort Federal Event Center's defence, it has been a while since i have attended an event. I certainly don't mind paying if the product is good. and I must say the quality of hockey I saw was outstanding! I hope the fan turnout continues and the team does well. I think the players will see they have a good supporting crowd that appreciates good play and effort. We also know you can't win them all. Good luck and keep up great play!
