Despite what the other review says, I have always had a positive experience at all events I've attended at the Qwest Center (and there have been many). Yes, events are often times packed, but what can you expect at an entertainment arena? As for the smell and poor AC system, I have never noticed either to be a problem. The only "complaint" I can make would be the parking. If you're going for an event, I would recommend garage parking if it's possible. But the lots aren't too far of a walk if you have to park there. And as for any large, public event, traffic will probalby be a pain, just expect it.
I would highly recommend attending an event at the Qwest if you ever get a chance.
If its a 100 degrees outside
then its 200 degrees inside , it stinks every time we go there for a concert
the place is packed. the ac system is POOR, and the stairways? they are horrible!!, very dangerous. poor lighting on them, and the bannisters broken up too short. till you can reach the next one.
