Great time out watching some good ball, but they had the music and announcers turned to to 20 for a venue that doesn’t need it that loud. We had to leave early which is a shame since the last game we went to was definitely not like that. Will come out again but that volume has to be fixed. Others around me were saying same.
Great time! Def worth seeing the badgers - the lights at the venue need to be softer though
Great Ball at affordable prices! The CAA arena in Brampton is the perfect size for enjoying great basketball.
Wish they had a greater selection of food. Game was pretty good. Good luck the rest of the season.
I attended a game earlier in the 2023 Season - and over all very pleased of the experience. Our tickets at the gate were check quickly and a representative directed us to our seats with ease. There was captivating entertainment during the game's half time and media breaks. I would also like to commend Aidan Macissac (the Fan Experience Coordinator) of the Brampton Honey Badgers; he is always helpful, courteous and professional, and a pleasure to speak with - going above and beyond to ensure supporters and audience are taken care of. Looking forward to attending future games!
I’ve been to a few games this season and they have been great. My boyfriend and I absolutely love the team…..so much that my boyfriend now volunteers with the team for all the home games. The tickets are reasonably priced and the concession snacks are great quality and fairly priced. This a great chance to have a night out in the city while watching some really great up and coming players! Go Brampton Honey Badgers! #2023Season #WeAreBrampton!
We went for our son's birthday & it did not disappoint. We had affordable 3rd row seats to a game with as much action and excitement as an NBA match without the sticker shock. Seeing Nick Wiggins (Andrew's bro) play alongside other up & coming fast talent was a real treat and we got to do the Sock Toss - super fun! Parking was free and concession prices were not astronomical. We'll be back again!
The game was exciting. Came right down to the wire. Will definitely attend another game.
Went for first time. Good atmosphere, good ball, great value. Will go again.
This was our first time at a Honey Badgers game. Three generations of family:grand parents, parents and grandchildren. Great seats and fast paced game. Great crowd involvement and everyone there was helping to ensure that a great time was had by all. Very reasonably priced merchandise and food/drink items. Seriously considering season tickets for 2020.
