Pittsburgh Power

1ST ARENA GAME FOR US.WE LOVED THE ATMOSPHERE, FAST PACE $1 DOGS AND DRINKS MAKE IT MORE AFFORTABLE TO HAVE A NICE EVENING OUT.

Really enjoyed the arena football game. One thing I really didn't like was the venue. The seats are too small. I saw a few people leave due to the lack of space.

I can't thank the Pittsburgh Power enough for everything they did for me. I chose this event to propose to my fiancee, and the Power helped me so much to make this an extremely special night for us all. The game is the most exciting sports event out there. It combines the pace and excitement of hockey with the skill and speed of football.

I wasn't sure what to expect from arena football. It reminded me more of the pace of watching a basketball game as opposed to football. I thought the announcer was a bit annoying. The upper level, general admission seats were a lot more crowded than the lower level seating. I think for cheering purposes (and for what is seen on TV) lower ticket prices in the lower sections so that they would fill up more would be beneficial. I enjoyed my experience and would go again.

Great action. Arena football is non stop excitement. Anyone who loves football, will love arena football.

The venue is beautiful and the game was fun! The only thing that would have made it better is if the Power had won. It was still a fun game.

I used to go to the Pittsburgh Gladiators when they were around and enjoyed the indoor football in those days. The fast pace, the differences from NFL, the niche market all made indoor football a lot of fun. I guess I've changed a lot since then. What i don't like about the Pittsburgh Power is what i don't like about basketball: too much scoring and the last 2 minutes are all that really matter. The crowd was rowdy and fun, it was loud and pumped, it had all the makings of a good time at Consol, but it just left me disinterested. I can't even say thatbthe Sparks were all that interesting. Cute, yes. Sexy, definitely, but worth the trip, no. Parking cost as much as my 100 level tickets (with my Pens season ticket holder discount) which I found disappointing. Chatam could have driven away lots of potential fans just by charging $20 for parking. I'm also not sure where they sell real beer on the 100 level. I had to go to the 200 level to get a non-light beer.

overall i would go back. pros - football , fans, pittsburgh ,seats are good no mater where you are Con, food not that good for the prices

Had a great time once we got in and up to our seats. The will call line was terrible and not handled very well. Otherwise, I recommend a GA ticket for an inexpensive night out.

the game was exciting...show just how fun arena football can be..a much better product that i remember back in the gladiator days...on the neagtive end..bad planning which caused the trib gate not to be open with only a half hour left until kickoff....souvenirs were cheap./.not worth buying...for such an event would have been nice to offer better quality and choice...but those gaffes were minor to the game...it was a great experience

Up close not overly crowded kids had a great time! not too late

Going to the Pittsburgh Power Arena Football game at Consul was Awesome!! All Seats are Great

My son and I had a wonderful time. We took my 2 cousin in laws with us to the game. im from cleveland they live in pittsburgh. It was so nice to see some team in football from cleveland beat a pittsburgh team.

I enjoy going to the games to hang out with friends and watch a little football. It's a lot of fun even though I've never seen the team win.

it was a daddy daughter dad and we enjoy it from start to finish.. Go Power.

Had a good time with my daughters. Would go back. Only problem was a rude and loud fan, console security should have made him leave. Ruined a little bit of the experience. But had.a good time otherwise.

We attended our first game for the Power last Friday. We will definitely be going again this year. Nice family atmosphere. Not too pricey.

The Power didn't belong on the same field with the SabreCats! I gave it an overal rating of one because I can't give it a ZERO. Austin can't quarterback, Washington dropped passes, the offensive line had HUGE holes in it, the defense couldn't stop anybody, and most frustrating of all was the kickoff return guy who instinctively stopped all forward progress at the 5 yard line and tried some move that fools no one and is tackled right at the five. Pitt-iful[sic] performance! The Power will have to put a much better product on the field to get me to spend money on them again. The Sparks were at least decent and can't beat $1.00 hot dogs.

The Arena was nice the game was ok. The Announcer needs some work on not saying there was a touchdown if a flag was thrown. Tickets are still pretty pricey. The teams seemed like they were just going through the motions at times and playing not to get hurt.

Anyone who likes football but doesn't get into Arena football needs to go see it live! Awesome! We sat 3rd row behind Philly bench (I'm a Soul fan so this was great) & got to interact with the players throughout game. View was great, action right in front of you. The ticket was $90, you can't get that experience at an NFL game for that kind of $$$ if at all. Andrae Thurman is a class act!

The game was good. The Consol energy center is a beautiful place. but attendance would be better if the concessions were cheaper.

game was fun! different. learning experience. will definitely attend again. players autograph signing at the end of game was awesome! will recommend to friends to attend. inexpensive tickets. wish they would have won

This was my first time visiting the CONSOL Enery Center. I Loved the venue and as always Pittsburgher are the best fans! The only thing that I was concerned with was this wasn't a sell out. I truly believe that the owners of Pittsburgh Power should do more to draw in a bigger fan base.

This was my first arena football game and my first visit to the Consol. The game was too slow (No huddle offense?) and the PA was too loud

The family (ages 11,15, 46, 48) all had a great time at the Pgh Power game. If you are looking for a inexpensive entertaining event I recommend going. $1 drinks and dogs also helped the bottom line. Although the home team lost they were competitive and never out of the competition, plenty to cheer about. The kids enjoyed it the most, always something going on, cheering, jumbotron dancing and plenty of flash. We are definitely going to another game.

We had a good time except for a few ladies sitting behind us using a lot of vulgar language. Really bothered my kids and sort or ruined their fun.

It was the first time me and my five year old son ever went to a power game, my cousin and his son came with us. We all had a good time and it did break the bank to go. We lost, but it didn't matter to the boys, they had a ball. And that's what it's all about! GO POWER!!!!!!!

Had a good time brought the family together. I enjoyed the blanket they have away and the dollar fountain drink and hot dogs is awesome.

This was my first ever Arena Football game and I enjoyed it from start to finish. You can't complain about $1 Hot dogs and $1 Sodas Or the high paced action on the field. Sat super close to the field, was only 6 rows from the field and the tickets were very reasonably priced. Lots of give-a-ways and promotional stuff to get the crowd involved as much as possible and overall just a great way to spend 2-3 hours.

I am so excited for this season to start!! I love the Power and my family always has a blast at the games! I am also anticipating the changes they have made during the off-season in regards to the team and the in game experience. I saw the promotional schedule they released on their website and now I can't wait for the giveaways along with the ways the games have become even more affordable!

The game atmosphere itself is good, but the Pittsburgh Power played terribly. The game was so horrible to watch.

I have been to 4 previous Pittsburgh Power games. The games are fun and action packed but this game seemed to have a lot more stoppages than any of the previous games that I have attended. The game dragged on and on. In addition the Pittsburgh team is simply not competitive like it was last year. In the first quarter Jacksonville scored at will while Pittsburgh could not muster a single first down. This was the last game of the season, I am looking forward to next year and hopefully a more competitive team. The games are fun and entertaining to attend.

Although the Power didn't win, it was a fun game!!

I went to this because I've never been to an arena football and didn't know what to expect. I found the game so boring that I wanted to leave early but I stayed until the end. The children seemed to like it, and they get to meet the players after the game. Here's what I found: - Arena football is very similar to normal football except the field is half the size. - The arena was about 25% filled. It was very empty. - IMPORTANT: Most of the entertainment was provided by the kids and teenagers dancing so they could get on the big screen. - I expected rowdier football. At one point, a couple players dove over the wall for a catch. That was the only really exciting play. - The dancers were ok but I didn't find their routines especially notable. If you go: - Don't bother paying for the pricier seats. With most of the arena empty, the ushers didn't seem to care if people moved down to better seats. - There's a chance that you can catch a football if you sit behind the end zones, in the lower areas.

I was a season ticket holder this year and I am appalled with how this season has turned out. Tonight's game was just another feather in the cap of failure that is the Power. An onside kick, in the last minute..really? And that final drive, just embarrassing. It's no wonder that the fanbase is dwindling.

Arena Football is the most fun and fan friendly sport out there. I wish the players and coaches and league would get their act together and stop all the fighting so they could concentrate on building a fan base. There won't be any paychecks if there are no fans. The only downside of the game aside from losing by one point in the last 30 seconds, was the abominable, atrocious and appalling half time show. Actually two awful performances. They could have saved the money and just let the Sparks dance.

I've attended four power games in the last two seasons and every time I've had a great time. It's fairly inexpensive to go. It's kid friendly and you get to meet the players after the game on the field. I would recommend you check a game out!

Great thing to watch. I didnt know what to expect. I will definately go back and watch the Power again!

I had such a great time at the game. The seats were great I screamed all night. The best thing was this was my first time going to a Pittsburgh Power game and they won in overtime! GO POWER! I will be going to more games

this was awsome ,me and the wife cant wait to go back..we came up from maryland what a great time

I go to every game its so much fun for the entire family the game is exciting. And fan friendly you can go on the field after the game to meet the players and autographs awesome Arena very clean great entertainment best live event I've bben to short of Superbowl 40 you have to come out and experience for your self don't forget to say hi to the Green Guy and the Power Brothers there awesome

This was my 3rd game and they just keep get getting better, the way you keep the fan involved is wonderful young and old. The real fans feel every thing the team does. You are making it more affordable with the promotions which is how I got there, and to be so nice as to put the memorial up an the score board for my wife knocked me out you guys are the best I just hope I can get the money for season tickets for next year which might be hard to get when they win it all this year. Thank you Power

game was a little slower than the last few but the final seconds were very fast paced and the right team won! Go PGH

Arena football is a lot more fun than I expected! It was one big adrenaline rush from start to finish. The action was nonstop and I had a great time!! A great event for the whole family to enjoy!

Great night out with family. Even though we are "Pittsburgh football" fans, we cheered on the Tulsa Talons. A few years ago we lived in the Tulsa area and the Talons won the AR2 championship. Our grandson had a fun time at his first Arena Football game.

The only thing I didn't like about the whole night was when people were coming down from other spots to get better seats at halftime

Amazing game!! Amazing Seats!! Would definitely go again!!

My wife and I had a great time the Power's first game ever despite the fact that they lost. It was a lot of fun being there and I will definitely be going again soon.

What excitement! AFL is new to me and while I really didn't know the rules at the beginning, it was easy to pick up along the way (and they were listed in the program)! While I am an avid NFL football fan, I wanted to try something new. I enjoyed every minute of it! Even the fans sitting around me were entertaining. Everyone had a lot of fun!! My seats were great at the end of the end zone!

I had never even watched an arena football game in my life until I went to this game. I will definitely be going back very soon. This game combines the game of football with the hitting/intensity and fast pace of hockey. Plus it is high-scoring! Very entertaining....and very reasonably priced.

I wanted to attend just to see a game. Pittsburgh had an Arena team back in the 80's that did not last. This is their 2nd time at it. The game was exciting and the tickets affordable. I will definitely go back to more games and will recommend this a a night out for anyone.

So much fun! Arena Football has an amazing vibe and fans. I would say it will become more popular over the years. The $1 hotdogs and 7-up soda is always a plus for this venue. Honestly I don't see how people give this sport bad review. Power is a new team so it will take time for talent to be fully developed. Fan here to stay! Go Power!

I had just checked into the Cambria Hotel next door...so I got into the elevator to ride down to the hotel room. Unbeknownst to me was a button to push for the Consol Energy Center, right out of that elevator. Walked out at that floor, and wen t through a set of double doors. I asked if I can enter the game here, the guy handed me a free shirt, and showed me the direction to my seat (without me asking). En route, got hungry. Bought - just $5 - a couple of truly fine, a little bit nicely spicy, bratwursts. They were fine. Arena half full, so I could spread out. My seat was right in front of the cheerleaders as well. Great game, you could see everything, and what you could not see, they were showing you doubled-up on the hanging big screen t.v. overhead. Excellent cheerleader 1/2 time show! I have been to this venue before to see the wrestling (see my earlier review). Liked it too. There seems to be a big emphasis on ticketholder satisfaction, and the customer is always right. Because of that, I will keep going back to this place each time I am in Pittsburgh, and see more events there, and spend $ there. Just as well spend it at a place where I am treated like royalty. Maybe next time, I'll see the hockey.

The seats were great (the price was better).. My wife is from Orlando and I'm from Pittsburgh, so we picked this game for our first. The crowd was really in the spirit, the food was great and we enjoyed the $1.00 hotdogs and drinks. The staff, was friendly and helpful. Was a great experience. A win win situation for my wife and I. Thank you for the afordable prices and great action. Really good to see families there with their kids. The music pumped us up. Can't say enough.

Very entertaining. The seats were row C so I believe it should explain that you would be sitting directly behind the benches. That made it difficult to see all of the play. But overall a great and fun evening.

First time at an AFL game. Took my grandsons 9 & 7. They loved it too. Good family atmosphere. Hoping to see a playoff game too.

Announcer immature saying "You can't do that!!!!!"

I am Joe Goosby and Bryan Randall and a conference in Philadelphia in June. They told me they played for the Soul and that I should come check out a game since I am a football fan. This was my first time going to an arena football game. I am an big fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I thought that this game would pale in comparison to an NFL game. Boy was I wrong. The fans were crazy. (in a good way) The energy in the arena was high and the game was fast paced. I will have to go see more arena games next season.

This is the second Pittsburgh Power game that I have attended this season and I had a great time! It's fun, fast paced and great for families. I bought season tickets for the 2015 season!

Alas, the Pittsburgh Power Football Team has become quite competitive and has clinched a playoff birth for the first time in it's existence. The venue, Consol Energy Center, is superb. The action of the field is fast paced and exciting. The team quality is excellent especially with the addition of quarterback Tommy Grady. Great fun and much easier to enjoy versus last years team which struggled mightily.

I really didn't know what to expect. Arena football doesn't sound that exciting on the surface. It was actually very exciting. High scoring, fast paced. I don't normally get loud and crazy, but I did.

Exciting game and great to see they have a winning team this year!

This is our second year offering Pittsburgh Power Tickets on our fundraiser ticket. Our Winners have never attended a Power game in the past. The fundraiser ticket winners have come back to say they really enjoyed the in door arena experience.... Great crowd atmosphere.

Pittsburgh Power was well worth the watch, great game, plenty of good action and a WIN! Little bit pricey but fun! Will go again but not paying for those seats ever again!

Tickets were a great value with the entertainment and overall fun I had at the game. Will be back for the rest and interested in a season plan for sure.

The game was good. Hard to understand the annoucer during the game. Also hard to understand the official most of the time.

It was exciting. My First AFL game. Will Come back

There's nothing like Arena football. I've even had front row seats to the Steelers, but it was just nowhere near as exciting as Power games. If you're in the first few rows and you talk trash, the players will not hesitate to give it back to you. You can catch a stray ball even 10 rows up, and unlike the NFL you get to keep it. The small field and rules favor a fast paced game with lots of scoring, which keeps the excitement going nonstop. Fortunately for Power fans, we have the best defense in the league which keeps the scoring against us down while scoring lots of points on defense. Tickets are absurdly cheap. Even the $15 seats have you way closer to the action than you'll ever get at an NFL game. It's fun how interactive it is, the way players will talk to the fans near them when getting ready for a kickoff or during time outs. Kids especially love the end of the game where everyone is invited onto the field to play around and get autographs and pictures with players. My 8 year old niece hated football until she got forced to go to a game due to a lack of a babysitter. A fist bump from the defensive end later and suddenly that little girl that wouldn't let anyone watch the Super Bowl in peace was a maniacal football fan. There's nothing negative or even neutral that I can say, it is really all around that great of a night every time!

The game itself wasn't fun, Pittsburgh beat up on LA KISS 50 -25, but took grandson, not to many LA KISS fans in our area. Had a great time with fans around us, plus Gene Simmions from KISS was on hand, got picture taken with him. Its my story and I am sticken to it.

The Game is much more entertaining in person than on TV.

This is great football, but at a much more personal level. You feel like you could reach out and touch the players. My son (14) and I had a fantastic time, and quickly became huge fans of "live" arena football. We have watched it on tv, but this is a whole new world of football when you see it like this, and of course the Consol Energy Center is just amazing. We live approx 2 hours away, and would definitely make the trip again for a Power Football game!!

Due to the temperature in the Consol Center (it was tooo cold), I found it hard to focus on the event. Coffee was not available for purchase at the concession stands so it was not an option to try to warm up. I ended up leaving at half time.

The game was alot of fun and the half time show with the Clarks was a very special highlight. The Pittsburgh Power horns they gave away made the experience even more awesome. It was a really cool experience watching an indoor fottball game live.

The energy level was unbelievable. Highly recommend our new team!! Go and support your new team!! it is a great night out!! GO POWER!!!!!!

This was our first Pittsburgh Power game and we will be back!

Loved the Power game would return in a minute if no horns were involved. They gave out horns to I don't know how many fans but it was non stop. Couldn't hear the announcers. Took my Father in law who is a big football fan but was a little concerned before we took him as he can't be around loud music and then they gave them horns. Was a little disappointed. I would of loved to hear the announcers instead!! Was an excellent game. Would but tickets again if I knew what the promotions were ahead of time.

couldnt think of a better way to spend a sat night with my 12 year old son. this was our first of soon to be many pittsburgh power games. non stop action, not a bad seat in the house. hats off to mr.swann thanks for helping us get a another great sport in the burgh.

I'm from Pittsburgh and I love football! Great event for NFL offseason. After the game, we got to meet the players and get them to sign a shirt. For the most part, they were all really nice and really kid friendly. I went with a group of people all between the ages of 28 - 35 and we all had a blast. I'd go see another game in a heart beat! 100% better than a pirate game anyday! :D Oh... and Pittsburgh did beat Cleveland! :) So the Power rocks in my book!

Fast paced & really exciting! - Great ticket prices too

Nonstop entertainment. Kid loved it and we will go again.

I would go again if I could wear earplugs! Those horns buzzing the whole time were annoying! I enjoyed the game, but I didn't think it needed as much hype as the announcer, Bubba was giving it. The intensity of the game spoke voulmes, well enough on its own.

Seats were not very good, and was unaware that it was POWER HORN GIVEAWAY NIGHT! Very loud PA address and music...........And 1000's of people blowing those obnoxious horns continually! Pyrotechnics that left smoke in the air through most of the first quarter...............Sensory overload. We left at 1/2 time and will not be going to another Power game. More for kids and people with young kids that want that experience. GLAD we didn't buy season tickets like we thought about doing!

1st time to arena football 1. Announcer has terrible voice for this. Shrill voice and although excited, couldn't understand most of what he said 2. Either the teams were terrible, or this is standard, but it seemed like the game had no chance to "flow" because of all the penalties. 3. That is partially why the game was quite boring. 4. Fans in front row (below section 107) were extremely abusive to players and refs. No effort to control them. 5 Arena very clean and nice. Price for refreshments was reasonable. 6. Handling out horns before National Anthem was basically foolish as it had to be known that some would be blowing them during the singing. Especially on Armed Services night. 7. My plan was to bring 8 other people, including two under 10 year olds, and am glad they had to cancel. 8. Guess you can't please everyone.

The atmosphere and everything was just AWESOME and my friends and myself cant wait to go back!!!!!

The CONSOL Energy Center is a beautiful place to enjoy a evening of Power Football, but please lower the cost of a beer.

I had a lot of unexpected fun at Consol Energy Center watching the Pittsburgh Power beat the Cleveland Gladiators. I would NEVER pay full price for anything except general admission. Anyone charging more than $70 per ticket (no matter where the seat is) is charging too much..but the event is a lot of fun!

The pre-game and in-game music was way too loud. The public address announcer was also way too loud. We took my grandson to his first game and he had to go and stand in the concourse area because of the loudness of all the above. People at the game are very inconsiderate of others. Getting up during the game and blocking your view. Because of all the above, we left at half time. It was a very un-enjoyable experience. I will never attend another Power game.

The game we attended was very exciting. we sat in the general admission seating, and my only complaints were, it was cold and bubba was very loud. Too loud at times. but overall we would attend again and we hope the good ppl of pittsburgh start showing up, and supporting the power

Except for the loudmouth speaker everything was great.

Great family event, kids had a great time! Son and daughter both enjoyed the game being 9 and 13Yrs. old, also loved the autographs after the game on the field

Non-stop action. Games always come down to the last second. Awesome!!!

Had a very nice time at an exciting game will go again they seem to go out of their way to make it a nice expeience

It was just a fun experience. The game is fast and fun to watch. The crowd is great. The announcer really added to the excitement.

Fun event. Exciting. I would recommend for families for sure.

Went with five family members to see the Pittsburgh Power with low expectations as a chance to see the new Consol Center. By the end of the game we were on our feet, fist pumping as the Power came back to win. Great time, Super Pittsburgh fans, with a special nod to the "blind" ref, he kept us laughing all game. We will be back.

Evidently, the costs to the seats are to high for families so the entire middle sections are empty. Definitely need to reduce the cost of the tickets until the Pittsburgh Power takes hold in Pittsburgh

The Consol Center is terrific and the staff is great. The food venues were reasonably priced and great selection. The sport of Arena Football takes some getting use to! BUT, the sound system was so LOUD that people were taking there kids out to the lobby area to give their hearing a break. I'm 52 and my head pounded for an hour AFTER the game over.

great seats! awesome atmosphere! and the team won! would go there again in a heartbeat! u need to go with friends. its much better in a group!

Fantastic game and great atmosphere. The crowd really got into the game in the 2nd half. This is my 3rd game and each one has gotten better. These players really provide an exciting product. I believe everyone should give it a chance. There is nothing quite like watching football from that close.

The events was just OK. Not as exciting as I had hoped.
