When the Hartford Civic Center had a purpose- home to the NHL Hartford Whalers- it was better upkept and current. Now it is an eyesore of concrete and antiquated cavernous spaces.

The Civic Center arena is huge, but uncomfortable seating, and overpriced drinks make it not worth seeing a show here.
