Enjoyed a Montreal Alliance game...they won! All seats provide a clear view. Confessions
Went to see an Alliance basketball game, and overall, the experience was pretty disappointing.nnFirst off, the parking is a mess. There are nowhere near enough parking spots at the arena. I had to drive all around Verdun just to find a place to park, then walk a long distance to get to the entrance. Total headache before even getting inside.nnOnce you're in, brace yourself for insultingly high food prices see photo. I bought a hot dog — the bread was rock hard and completely inedible. The $9 slice of pizza was thin, dry, and flat-out disgusting. For what they charge, you’d expect something half-decent.nnThe seating is ridiculously cramped. If you’re over 6 feet tall, your knees will be smashing into the back of the head of the person in front of you the entire time. It’s uncomfortable, awkward, and painful.nnAs for the basketball, don’t expect a professional-level game. I’ve seen more competitive games at a neighborhood park.nnOther than that, the arena is ok I guess.
Attended both nights of TNA wrestling and it was fantastic. This building is a treat to visit. Everything was very clean and very easy to find. The staff were very friendly and helpful where they could be. I would definitely attend another show here as the seating is fantastic. In this venue there really can't be a bad view in the entire building. Venue is easy to get to and is near many restaurants. If you're considering going to an event here, do it. You won't be disappointed with anything you attend at this venue.
Went to watch the Montreal Alliance and had a blast. The auditorium is beautiful and bigger than one would expect and very fsmily friendly. I will say if you're going to buy a bag of Skittles and Sprite, be prepared to spend some $$$
Keeping an old building from being replaced is a costly affair, but the results are often pleasing to the eye, not to mention popular with many. The decision to restore the old Verdun Auditorium and to add a modern section to it has turned into a success story for the borough. The look and feel of the building vary from art deco some decorative elements to modernist, but don't clash. In other words, a successful modernization effort.
