I thought that if you went to a circus nowadays you would be bored to death because of no elephants. We went to the Shriner's Circus over the weekend. We had so much fun, the most fun in a long time. Amazing to see acrobats. As soon as we sat down, we asked our son what he wanted and with so much excitement he replied: Cotton candy, popcorn, and a slushie! It was at the BOS Center. Perfect size for a circus!

It's clear that the Center cannot figure out how to organize a show. The Jim Gaffigan show was scheduled to begin at 7:00pm. At that time, there were still two lines (going to only two doors) winding down the block and around the corner. When we finally got into the venue at about 7:15, the opening act was already half finished and the house lights were down, making it very difficult to find our seats or an usher to assist. It turned out not to matter, though, because our seats that we had tickets for DID NOT EXIST. They had reportedly decided that some of the ticketed seats would have been

Nice small convention center. Saw Jim Gaffigan here. Would like to have had a better entrance experience. Not very much signage on where to go. Waited outside in the wind, but once inside, saw that there was another entrance. All in all, it was good.

Grand Lodge of Illinois' Communications are held here annually. It's a good place to meet together with a bunch of venerable brother Masons from around the state.

Sad venue for the Capital city. Last visit saw seating attendant in sweatshirt and LA Dodgers hat, not very official. After seeing a couple others figured out as long as it was black shirt black pants you could wear pretty much anything you wanted. Didn't have normal concession stands open instead just had two beverage carts and pre-made popcorn. I can't completely blame whoever runs it because I know citizens of Springfield don't support it but maybe if it was a nicer venue they would get more support. It's such a poorly ran sad venue makes me not want to bank at Bank of Springfield.

The building looks and feels a little old. The inside sort of reminds me of a prison with all the concrete and the chairs are a little stiff. Plus the leading stair case moves which is kind of dangerous. But I did enjoy the event that was held there when I visited.

Nice large convention center. I visited here for a conference for high school students. We use the many meaning rooms in the lower level for competitions. All the rooms were very clean an accessible. One night we attended a large banquet in the main stadium. The tables stage lighting and sound system made for a very enjoyable evening. The center is located across the street from a couple large hotels, and it seemed parking was pretty easy.

The atmosphere was great. Not too big or small for a WWE event. Just the right size

Any venue that support a circus I will not go to. When u have to beg for two hours for the horses to get water out in the direct sun. Total BS

Very bad judgement to have a circus at your facility. The treatment of the animals, specifically the horses & camels, is horrific. Several people are witness to and documented it. Clearly humanity & morals are not part of the decision making for so called "entertainment" for your venues.

BOS needs to upgrade those two poor quality projectors. I attended High school graduation over the weekend and although I had good seats from arriving early, the two screen were very dim, and very hard to see what was being recorded on the platform. The clarity of those projectors should look like movie screens.

We paid for VIP tickets which we will never do again for a show here. The included appetizers were chips and salsa and a fruit and vegetable tray. Very cheap. The view from the VIP section was one of the worst views in the entire center, with obstructions blocking the stage. The sound system couldn't project into the VIP area so you couldn't… understand a single word the performer said outside of his songs. Eventually, we left the VIP area so we could actually see and hear the show and found about half of the other VIP guests in GA also. VIP here is an absolute joke, don't waste your money

Good show. Hot for sure but that's a chance you take at a outdoor concert in the summer. Appreciated being able to go inside to cool off when needed. It was a little sentimental for me as my first time seeing Journey was in that building, I think May or June of 1980. Good times and great memories.

The concert was awesome, but the area where you had to stand was small. You ran out of beer. There was no seating except on three levels of the parking garage. The whole road was shut down so why not use it, and allow people to bring chairs in. Also there needs to be more some out door porta pottys, people keep trying to climb over those of us sitting on the small ledge, only seating in the whole place.
