4 reviews for Giant Center
Personally I like the Giant Center, and they do have some big names that come through every so often. I know Bruce Springsteen was there recently which seemed to make Dauphin county the center of the universe for an evening, but yeah others like blue man group, 50 cent, even a few presidential candidates have been through the place.
I do find it a rather expensive venue, but I guess that's just the nature of the beast, I saw Ringling Bros here and was very impressed, not to mention it's the home of the Hershey Bears, a fun and affordable minor league hockey franchise.
I cannot agree that the Giant center is a waste of space... every concert I have seen there has been great, and they were performed by well-known artists (there is a reason they were sold out!) I have seen Michael Buble there twice, and Transiberian Orchestra. Yes, the parking fee of $6 per car is a bit much. And yes, the traffic can be horrendous IF there is also something else occurring at the same time at the Hershey stadium and at the Park. For the most part, though, I enjoy coming to the Giant Center. The schedule is pretty wrapped up with the Hershey Bears hockey team in the winter, but they have great promotional nights and the games are intense and chock--full of team spirit.

A waste of space. Hardly any real artists come to Hershey, and when they do, they cancel. If you want to see a good concert you're better off going to DC, Philadelphia, or NY.

regarding music: yeah i'll agree with mia, they never have anyone good, of any genre. tickets even then are like freaking 37.00 dollars, what a rip off. parking used to be free at all hershey events too, but recently they started to charge like 7 dollars per car. plus when there are events it snarls traffic for miles around hershey.
regarding sports: they do have the hershey bears and they're pretty decent. who can complain, ticket prices sure jumped when they moved here from the Hershey Arena back in 1999 / 200, but still good as always.
