powerade centre

Should have moved main entrance to smaller rinks . Very cold arenas. As soon as sliding door opens very cold. Almost no seating.

Avoid this place at all cost, lousy overpriced food admission to a cheer competition was ridiculous. On top of it we were asked 3 times while in the facility to show our tickets. Staff could not properly direct you to the restaurant on site.The place was dirty on top of it.

food was just ok, service a bit slow but will try again later in the season and post a review. the line ups were sort of long so others must have liked it.

Expensive and couldn't bring hot beverage in, and they did not sell hot beverages inside!!!! Clean venue, average seating.good bathroom placements

We went to two hockey games at this arena, one in October and one in November.We have 3 more games to attend. It is a very nice arena. It is smaller than Ricoh Coliseum but the centre scoreboard/screen seems much clearer than the one at Richo. The staff are friendly and helpful. There is lots of free parking.

Great venue for a car show. Good location. Plenty of parking. Clean restrooms. Nice that there was some indoor seating so we could get out of the sun for a few minutes. Nice ice rink. Well maintained.

Been here for multiple events. It is always very well planned and the staff are great. It is difficult sometimes to get out of the parking lot, but not a huge issue.

The Centre hosted the Shriner's Circus....despite a few protesters, the show was fabulous and enjoyed by the family. There is nothing like the big top. The acrobats and jugglers especially wowed the little ones. The tent was packed but every seat provided a great view. The clowns, tigers and elephants did not disappoint.

We have gone here for 4 years straight while our son played hockey! The restaurant has good food! I have never had a bad meal. Club house, chicken fingers, salads and such.

Over the 15 years that the Brampton (well, now North Bay) Battalion called this arena home it has always lacked atmosphere. It's just a big cement and steel structure that happens to have an OHL size rink in it.The concessions have slightly improved over they years but the arena is still under served.I've always been a big fan of OHL hockey and being a long time Brampton resident (almost all of my life in fact) I was so happy that Brampton was getting an arena of it's own. Here we are 15 years later and the OHL is gone, the rink is in a HORRIBLE location and, the Central Hockey League is coming in to the building now. I doubt that any upgrades will be done for that team, but this stadium needs them badly. Just a video board would be a huge upgrade. If the CHL fails here too then the city might just be better off leveling the rink and adding more community rinks in it's place.

We attend a number of Battalion's games every year, and this is a good place to watch them play. It is too bad more people don't come to the Powerade Centre to support the Battalion.

I have been to five or six OHL rinks and the Powerade Centre ranks to close to the bottom of the pile. It's a nice enough place, just a bit dreary, that's all. It needs a coat of paint or two for sure and a better sound system. That said, because of departure of the Brampton Battallion, I think any chance of significant upgrades are slim. Though a Central Hockey League team is coming, the fan support is weak in Brampton. There are a number of theories on this. The only fact is that people did not show up. I have been to five or so games here, playoffs as well, and the Powerade Centre could not sell out. There's free parking, the prices of seats are the going rate for an OHL game. The food and entertainement could be better, mind you, for arena fare, it is priced somewhat reasonably. It's a shame in a lot of ways that Brampton would not support this team, it's solid hockey at a reasonable price. The Powerade Centre could not stand much of a chance of getting the upgrades it sorely needs if people do not come out and support its team. I'd recommend anyone to go see a game at the Powerade Centre, while you still can, it's great hockey. (I know there are other events here as well, I just have not been to one of them, so I do not know how well the Powerade Centre accomadates for these events).

I liked the place however the services can be improved. Went to watch a Brampton Battalions game which they lost. I stood in a line during the break to buy a beer and a hot dog. Unfortunately I got the beer but the hot dogs were over. I could see 3 hot dogs on the rotator but the lady said that they were sold out. Maybe these were kept for the staff behind the counter. They were 3 of them there. Really sad.

Only eat there during OHL Hockey games and although the food is good the price is high and most items seemed to be priced the same. There is no health option at all so most food is deep fried or served with sauces.
