O'rena At Oakland University

Fantastic experience: Great food nice people

Fantastic experience: Great place

Positive experience: Mm

Negative experience: Seats are made for children, any grown man will suffer, and made of only hard plastic

Positive experience: O'rena At Oakland University Not bad facility. I’ve been here for many graduations. Excellent place. Clean. High. Don’t feel crowded. Chairs are fine. Nothing broken. No vandalism. I love how the top row has a circular walk. AC is adequate to cool and heat this arena. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Went to my grandson's high school graduation ceremony at o'rena at Oakland university. Well organized. Very large facility. Plenty of parking but most of it a long ways from the o'rena. Special lot for handicap parking but still quite always from facility. Refreshments available for sale as well as flower bouquets.

Fantastic experience: Great location for a graduation. If I could change anything, it would be for handicap parking to be closer for people who have difficulty walking. We should have dropped them off.

Fantastic experience: This arena is not easy to navigate. As a handicap person.. there are very few parking spots near the building and the closest one was quite a walk away. Also getting into the building any of the options to get down to the basketball court for seating was a set of steps that did not have stable handrails and was very narrow and difficult to navigate. If there was an elevator or regular set of steps was available, I was never told about them.

Fantastic experience: My daughter graduated O.U.

Positive experience: Intimate arena. Not a bad seat.

Fantastic experience: Very clean and easy to get to restrooms

Positive experience: This facility is amazing. The seating is tight though. I'm not small, but not huge, and I thought I might need grease to wedge myself in and out.

Fantastic experience: So glad the Globetrotters came to this place! The area isn't scary, it's well lit, nice seating arrangement. Will go again if here again.

Fantastic experience: The new home of #TheGreatestShowOnEarth My home away from home... They JUST cut ✂️ down the nets from winning 1st place in the Horizon League! The Orena is #MyHappyPlace and has been since 2007!

Positive experience: Excellent event, grandson's HS graduation. Poorly designed bldg, only one exit, no guardrails in middle of stairs.

Positive experience: This is a great arena, I truly enjoy attending a Oakland Basketball game. The stadium is small and there is truly no bad seat in the arena. The arena does need a bit of a update. The prices are terrific and very reasonable. They truly put on a great show for the fans. The students are loud and passionate.
