Utica Comets

Best barn in the AHL, a must for any hockey fan. U-TI-CA!!

These seats were premium price and horrible! They were Row "A" Glass, However, they were on a Corner so the glass was not anywhere near us, for one, and the camera guy was standing directly in front of us the entire game, for two, the Zamboni machine was right next to us (freezing cold), for three and finally you absolutely cannot see the other goal from these seats! Oh, and can't hear a thing over the speaker system! Very disappointed! Paid $100 via Ticketmaster for 3 tickets!

But anytime you win it's great. Good food Good prices Great crowd

Hockey was fine. Fast paced, great product. Seats were HORRIBLE. Typed in best available when purchasing. Given Suite Row 1 Seats 1-4. Expected something near the ice. Instead was in an unused press box at the top of the Auditorium. Seat prices ranged from $18-$28 these seats were $50. Ushers had no idea where they were located. Poor,Poor, Poor way of taking money by the Comets, the Aud. and by Ticketmaster. DON"T PURCHASE THESE SEATS!!!!

Been to so many games this year and i can't wait to go to more! Comets are awesome!!!!!!!! Awesome venue, awesome atmosphere

Great game at the newly refurbished Utica Auditorium.

The Comets are playing awesome and the atmosphere is positive. For a brand new team they are sure shaping up into a great team.

It was an awesome game, we had a great time! Go Comets!

As a former Utican, i was delighted to actually feel the spirit and excitement of the city for the return of the Utica Comets. While the team did not win, the crowd was with them til the end. Made me proud!

I bought 11 tickets for my family (ages 15 - 55) as Christmas presents. Everyone had a great time. The Aud looks so much better now. The brand of hockey is great. I haven't had the pleasure of seeing that since the Utica Devils left town. The cheerleaders were real nice. We were able to take pictures with them. The whole event was a blast. Support the team, win or lose. It's nice to have hockey back in town!!

The seats were great and really enjoyed the game and too bad we lost.

I get their a new team in the area, but they're level of play and compassion for the game sucks. If it wasn't for their goalie these games would be blowouts. Utica will not support a losing team, its a FACT. Look at the past, they better start winning quick!

What a great experience!!! AHL hockey is back in Utica NY!!! They still haven't won a game but it's great hockey and I will go to a game every chance I get to support the team and hopefully keep them in Utica for years to come.

The aud looks amazing, utica is excited to have pro hockey back in the city! Come out and support the new team in a new aud!!

The Aud is pretty decent size, but overall the game experience was excellent! Just wish I could see the Comets win this won, but I am assured they will soon. Very recommended to anyone in the Utica area that has nothing to do on a weekend.

Seeing AHL hockey in Utica is awesome!!! I highly recommend all hockey fans to go support the Utica Comets!!

I love what they have done with the Utica Auditorium! Finally AHL is back!!! Got to meet Dave Hanson and the Carlson Brother's! Wish the Comets would have won.... Hope to catch more games!!!

WE HAD A GREAT TIME. GOOD TO SEE THE UTICA AUD BACK IN ACTION. NEEDS NEW SOUND SYSTEM.

Utica has finally pulled themselves together. The Aud is being updated and looks much better. Updated scoreboard, video boards, and even the ice was so much better. Plus, it is AHL hockey. Very impressed.

Awesome game! Comets and Crunch tied, evenly matched but Comets just couldn't get the shots in the end! Next time for sure!

Love supporting the Utica Comets! The AUD looks great with the renovations. Lots of vender's and more to come!

going to see live hockey and watch them fight and win the game

Sat across from the announcer's station. Announcer screams at crowds like a raving lunatic. Female voice of interviewer around aud is worse than nails on a chalkboard. Why is this woman on a mich? Music and bass were absurdly loud. It was actually painful earwise to be present. Going again next week, but bringing ear plugs. Esch, if you can hear at all, how about fixing this issue. Your audience is not deaf. I am an avid hockey fan and attend numerous NHL games---nobody does audio as bad as the Comets.

Great time! Food and beer were priced right right for an AHL game compared to other AHL arenas.

Great atmosphere, lots of fun, not a bad seat in the house

We had such a great time at this game. The Auditorium looks spectacular, the crowd was orderly and excited, and the team is amazing! Definitely a "must do" for families.

The game was fantastic the Comets organization has brought a first class professionally run product to the area. There is something going on to entertain at all times. From the cheerleaders to the scoreboard it is an experience that must be had!

First ever AHL visit to Utica. Great atmosphere. You guys really love your team. The "50/50" was over $7k!!! I had a great time. Great building, not a bad seat in the house. If I'm ever in the area again would love to go again. Love the colors, name & uniforms.

Going to a Utica comets game is always a great time

I've been to so many games in this, the inaugural year, and all of them were either sold out or close to it. The atmosphere is amazing and the team this year was extremely fan-friendly.

this was an awesome game between the Americans and the Comets. Unfortunately the Comets did not win, but they played their hearts out. They outshot the Amerks just couldn't connect on the goals...Can't wait for next season.

Enjoyed the game with 70+ coworkers, my wife Tina and part of our family! Can't wait to do it again! The sold out crowd was Fantastic!

AUD is great venue. Comets provide a good time, even if they lose. Greater time when they win.

Never been to a hockey game in my 52 year life and had an absoulute blast. Convenient parking, nostalgic venue, local beer and non stop action. Thought for a minute it was medieval, the crowd actually cheers when a fight breaks out. Highly recommended.

This was my first ever hockey game. ..and thanks to my experience at the Utica comets game this won't be my last. I had an amazing time...great fans..great seats...great atmosphere..just an overall great experience

The game was very entertaining. It was another fun time watching the Comets win!!

Classic old-time hockey experience! Great game, with the Comets winning in the shootout, 4-3. The passion of the fans (noisy, but respectful and family-oriented) and the decor of the arena (photos and memorabilia of historic Utica hockey teams from earlier days) are terrific. Concession prices will knock you out - $5 for a big draft beer (Utica Club - local lager) and $7.50 for a big plate of fish and fries. The team management has done a great job in such a short time. This was the Comets' 12th sellout of the season, pretty amazing for a minor league team in a small market. Honestly, if you did not know that the Comets were a new AHL team (having just moved to Utica from Illinois last summer), you'd think they'd been there forever. I drove all the way from Long Island for the game and I am already making plans to do it again next season.

Shoot outs are always Nail biters...considering we've exhausted regulation, OT, and then gone on to the "last resort"!

The Utica Aud is a great facility. The ticket and food prices are reasonable. This is a great family value.

awesome game great seats you could hear the skating action upclose and personal

Awesome game from start to finish! Comets win in shoot out!!

This was my first hockey . Great place to see a game. Easy to get to . Great parking . Tickets were of great value.

Was a fun night. Great seats, could see the whole arena!!

It was a very exciting and action packed game. They did a great job with getting the crowd involved and energized throughout the game with different contests and things.We sat in the second row next to the goal. We could see lots of action on our half of the ice. We had to watch the screen to get a better look at the other end. The zambonie also comes out right there so it would get a little cold when the outside overhead doors opened. We did have some difficulty hearing the announcer.

Comets have come a long way this season...This game was loaded with excitement and the most fun that we have had all year...The fact that it was benefiting the Breast Cancer fund made it all the more wonderful...

Awesome seats great game...to bad they didn't win, but it was a tightly played game

amazing seats and comets win 3-0 for my first ever hockey game

Good game good company good time. My group had a very good time. Good venue.

Awesomely amazing game!!!!!!!!! The energy in the aid was high and electric

What an awesome game!! Sold out crowd and another win!

very impressive. First time i have been back to the Aud in quite awhile. i will definitely attend another game. even though we lost in a shootout, still an exciting game.

We thought it was fantastic. It had everything , games, history of the Clinton Comets, dancing , kiss cam, plus they won. We are a hockey family and our son played hockey. His team came second in the nation. We loved going to the game and we will be back. Plus , the Utica Comets won too. How great was that! Mike Lyndner and Horton would be proud!

I'm a downstater and enjoyed visiting the Utica Memorial Auditorium to watch the Comets play. The game was well played and the spectator experience certainly enhanced by the wonderful venue. Comfortable seats, great views everywhere, NICE PEOPLE.

Wonderful old arena. The Utica Aud is a historic building with a suspension system that holds up the roof without poles, so there are no obstructed views anywhere in the building. It is a great place to see a game. The game itself was exciting, and the crowd was incredible. What an awesome atmosphere and one of the loudest arenas I have ever been in. Would highly recommend any event in this venue, and also recommend the great brand of hockey played by the Comets, and the AHL in general. Towards the end of the game, when it was apparent the Comets would lose the game and the series, fans broke into a spontaneous chant of "Thank You Comets!". Then when the game was over, and the Monarchs were in the middle of the ice celebrating, all the Comets stayed on the ice and saluted the fans.

The final game of the 2015 Calder Cup finals was amazing. Even though the home team, Utica Comets lost, it was a great experience to be there and watch the Manchester Monarchs recieve the Calder Cup.

The hockey game was great with a lot of action. It kept you at the edge of your seat all game long.

Utica Comets games are electrifying! All the excitement of professional hockey with the hometown feel of high school football. Definitely a unique and worthwhile experience.

Incredible game like the team has had all season. The comets are a great team heading to the calder cup.

Atmosphere was fantastic. Hard fought game. Comets finally score midaway through the 3rd. Rest of the time was just excitement and stress filled. Great time

......what is left to say....on to the Calder Cup. Awesome!

Play on both sides was excellent. Great passing, set-ups and assists and the Comets win at home before some of the greatest fans I know.

This was a great game. Would attend the next home game

The Utica Comets are an incredible organization! The game was exciting and the atmosphere electric! I cant wait to go again!

Unbelievable game! 4OT! Outcome wasn't what we wanted but longest hockey game I ever attended!!

Just like every Utica Comets game, this was incredible since they moved on to round #2 of the Calder Cup Playoffs.

For the 24th time this year a Comets game was sold out. It is a fun time, decent food ( Comet dough) and a winning team makes a for a fun evening.

This is the first game I have attended at the Aud. The employees were very helpful, parking is easy and leaving after the game was stress free. I really enjoyed the smaller venue as opposed to Albany which is so large and feels empty because people are so spread out. It is a wonderful place and doing the tickets via Ticketmaster and printing them out before we left was so easy. I can say I will go to Utica for Hockey again, probably many times and will look for other programs that I can attend.

This was a good event. I usually work the event but took my daughter and wife to the game. Every thing was good as far as finding seating and parking was easily obtained.

This hockey game was amazing. Even had a man hit and put out cold on the ice. There is some awesome goals too. It went to a shoot out with Utica winning

We had a great time at the game. I though the play was great on both sides. Very sorry to see a Player get hurt but that a risk in this Game of speed and impact. We had another couple with us and the wife had never been to a hockey game before. Well she got her money's worth. I told her she saw the total game with fast play, overtime and shoot out. The Comets have brought new life to Utica area. The Arena is a great place to watch a Game.

Great game! We won! Fantastic wonderful fun night!

First off, the Utica Aud has been renovated and improved so much that it almost feel like a brand new building. The staff are professional and well dressed, the stores are well stocked and decently priced. The production of the event is truly a top notch job. From the two big screens to show gameplay, replay, interviews and fan can, along with the actual fan interaction, you feel like you are part of the event. The sound quality of announcers and music no longer echoes off the walls like the the old aud, it has been improved so much that I may even consider going to a concert there. Previously, it was painful to listen to anything loud in that arena. And then we have the team...it is an awesome opportunity to be able to watch professional athletes in this part of the state. They play the game hard, interact with the crowd, appreciate this town and the fans, and have become very visible out to the public. I've been to a couple games this year and I am so impressed by everything, that next season I will be purchasing season tickets.

Best hockey game I have ever seen! 7 goals and a dozen fights and so entertaining!

The local paper said that was one of the best games this year. I have to agree. Action was great, crowd participation super, overall fun time for our group. We all agreed that anything that could happen in a hockey game happened that day.

This was the best game I've been to all season. Great Job Comets

It was a fun time. Ample parking, good feel in the arena, home team won. We will be back

This was my 2nd game this year. Great game and a great time. I would definitely recommend going to see the comets at the Aud.

Good seats,fast paced game.entertaining the whole time

We enjoyed the game very much. My son came home from Houston Texas for Christmas . He is big Hockey fan. The Aud is in great shape and to me it looks like the Comets have brought new life to Utica. We loved the Overtime win it sure got the place rocking.

I was born and raised in Liverpool, N.Y. a suburb of Syracuse. Even though I now reside in the Mohawk Valley my goal was to watch an entertaining game. I really did not root for either team. My goal was reached I did watch an entertaining game.

Seats were good they let u in about an hour before game time there are great seats everywhere in the building kind of a small barn so seating is good there are two videotrons both are on either side where the home team shoots there is parking its only 5.00

The Comets shown tonight! The scoring went back and forth while a few players attempted to settle some issues from the previous game. It began to look like there would be an overtime period when the Wolves tied up the game with only a few minutes left, but a lacka daisicle effort on a bouncing puck by the Wolves' goalie, gave the Comets the win! Great game, great venue, and lots of action.
