7 reviews for Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall
Went here to see both Madonna concerts. It is a nice venue and pretty small. It is great that it is right on the Boardwalk and just a hop skip and a jump from either side. They have alot of different events here which is great. The food here was reasonably priced also.
Once again sports arena = bad concert venue.
I saw Tool here last summer and the acoustics are terrible. Sound bouncing around off the dome ceiling kills all the vocal effects the band is known for. Also trying to do a laser light show in a huge dome facility was a bad choice on the band's part. They could not begin to get enough smoke in the venue for it to work.
I love the atmosphere in AC on a fight night. Its actually better than being in Vegas for a fight b/c in Atlantic City, everybody knows its a fight night and the city breathes excitement. In Vegas, people are on vacation, are from another country, are going to shows...etc.
NYC and Philly have the best fight fans in the country. We love boxing and get behind our local boys like no other (Gatti, Cotto, Hopkins...). The energy at Boardwalk Hall is always at a high level but the venue itself has its flaws.
You literally walk in from the boardwalk, which is cool but will have to stand in line for beer for an eternity. Prices for tickets, food, drinks are all insane. $50 will get you seats about a mile from the ring, but thats boxing for you. Unlike most boxing venues, the Hall is shaped like a rectangle with the ring on one side, not centered. Therefore, one side of the rectangle stretches way out, away from the ring. Comfortable seats with lots of space but you CANT SEE THE DAMN FIGHT, so whats the point.
Basically, if you want to SEE a good fight here, spend some money. If you want to be part of a great fight crowd and have the convenience of casinos and whores just steps away, then Boardwalk Hall is your destination.
From the television telecast this place looks immaculate, being there live it just doesnt quite measure up. Dont get me wrong, its great for a sports venue such as boxing and its very easy to meet the boxers themselves. Otherwise its very average, the only time this place rocks if Arturro Gatti is fighting... but thats no more.
I'm partial to this place, because I had an internship here with the Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies Hockey Team(RIP) When I wasn't trying to get people to signup for ticket packages I had the great opportunity to watch every single game. Also my grandfather was a foreman and help build the Old Atlantic City Convention Center, so thats another reason why I give this place 5 stars. I've seen the Miss America Pagent here once when I was younger, and also Simon and Garfunkel Reunion Show a few years back. Good Stuff
park at bally's or ceasar's for $5. remember where you left your car 'cause it ain't so easy finding on the way back!
I'm not sure what this venue is used for all the time, but I was here for a college basketball tournament and I came away very impressed with the facility as it was set up. It has a very cool vibe inside with huge ceilings and a large painted mural one end. It is a perfect size so you can easily get to concessions and such during timeouts. They also had a separate room/gym where they had a bar setup and TVs/activities.
