This is a wonderful historical auditorium downtown Colorado Springs, CO. Every event I have attended has been meaningful and very special. Its older and I appreciate that! There is always some kind of maintenance going on, which again... I appreciate, because that means they are taking care of it! I hope it continues to stand when I pass away, so my older children can continue to visit and remember all the fun activities that they were in & enjoyed. Also that one day, in the future... (long future) my grandkids can do more than visualize when they hear stories about the memories and people.

We come to the auditorium every year for the Chinese New Year celebration. This is a nice facility downtown and accommodates the celebration well.

Awesome! I went here for a jujitsu tournament, and it was a blast. It was a perfect size and very well run. Clean bathrooms and nice restaurants made this a wonderful experience.

This is now an isolation hospital for people with Covid. Mo is a fantastic nurse and so is Lisa,but the place is very overcrowded and the people being treated there are beyond rude and loud,it is hard to heal and recover in that type of situation.

Wonderful facility providing all sorts of activities for young people. Colorado Springs Park and Rec stand well above other cities, states and municipality for the wide range of services they provide to the local community.

Review №18

From my first visit in 1983 to see Motley Crue until today, Ive seen cat and dog shows there, many concerts, graduations, roller derby and countless other events there. Its not huge or overly elaborate but it does the job and is a very cool piece of Colorado Springs history that locals as well as tourists enjoy.

A fun venue. Parking is always a pain, and costly. Limited facilities. Badly in need of an update, or even better, a few satellite locations for the growing city. Good lighting. Stage a little low.

I love events at this historic building! Our martial arts school comes here several times a year and it accomitmdates our entire group really well. They are always upgrading and remodeling which is nice too!

Fabulous place and staff. Incredible history, architecture is amazing and building is well preserved and taken care of. I LOVE the Lon Chaney Theatre!! Magical place.

Review №31

Went for a concert, and the music was great! The water from the drinking fountain was a weird yellow/brown color, the bar ran out of one of their 2 beers available after the opener, and both ATMs were out of service. Good music, not a good venue.

Review №32

I volunteer here with the Springs Rescue Mission, but the staff at the auditorium are very friendly and easy to work with. The bathrooms have been recently remodeled but the rest of the building feels very historic. This is a great open space to have events.

Review №33

Small venue. Half the people here wanted to sit but couldnt due to not enough chairs set up(not locations fault but shows the small space committee had to work with for event). Bathrooms in hallway, ramp on one side for handicap access. You pay for parking.

Clean and crowded. Nice place

Review №44

It’s a shame that the city has let the auditorium deteriorate. The ceiling looks like it won’t last much longer from roof leaks. Ripped curtains everywhere. Broken lattice around the sound system. Instead of focusing on building the “Olympic City”, why not restore what’s already here?

I have been to 3 functions held in the auditorium this year. Parking in the lots in the area is plentiful, and it has easy access on 3 sides of the block.

All depends on what you are there to see. We watched 2A District Basketball Playoffs. It was a good place to watch basketball.

Went here for a roller derby and was a cool old building. The seats are straight out of the 50s but I thought they were still comfortable. The bathrooms are newly renovated and were very clean.

Got a chance to see Shinedown there. The building is a little bit older, but was pretty easy to get around. It definitely is setup for smaller venues.

St
Review №54

Wow. Obviously an old theatre used for many different events. Floors very sticky and seating was ripped pretty badly. Some of the screws were loose in the balcony railing too. Parking was confusing, pricey, and dark. We went to this for district basketball.

Older facility is still good for many events. It has free high speed internet provided by the city.

It is rather historic, but the building is not quite as sharp as Im sure it once was. Most of the seats are duct taped and falling apart. There is a great handbell festival here every February, though!

Sunday afternoon we attended the Rocky Mountain State Games badminton competition at City Aud. It has been a few years since I have been there for an event. This venue is a great service to citizens who participate in all kinds of things--roller derby, sports, antique shows, and the metaphysical fair. Most of these events could not happen without a reasonably priced venue.We are lucky to have such a hard-working historic structure open to the public. The chairs are wearing out, and there is no A/C, but extensive renovation would raise the cost of renting the facility. Maybe City Aud already has a Friends group. If not, it should.
