  Saw a live WWE show there on 7/12/13...
  
  Parking was only $12...Way better then what Izod Centre charges...Got out of the lot after the event in 20 minutes...The police were helpful...
  
  its $4.25 for a 12 ounce soda in the soda machine....
  
  Hopefully they will have more concerts there...

  Ok, we communicated with the center about our last experience and they were responsive and provided really good customer service to make up for our bad experience there. Thanks for not ignoring my email, Sun National Bank Center and responding to us.

  Parking is terrible here, especially for a big event.
  
  Went here for the Boys Basketball NJSIAA Tournament of Champions. We parked a few blocks away. ($10) No shuttle. Fortunately it wasn't raining, just cold. They do have VIP parking closer to the building. There were plenty of police and crossing guards to guide you in the right direction.
  
  This is an old building, from the 80's or earlier. Box office is outside to the right. There were a lot of people there. It was overwhelming, but we found where we wanted to sit and joined the rest of the crowd cheering on the Roselle Catholic Lions! Acoustics where great! Seats were clean and not uncomfortable. Plenty of junk food options. Expensive, but I had some tots from Sonic so I was good to go.
  
  Bathrooms were clean and had toilet paper, always a plus.
  
  It's easy to get to from Rt. 1 South. Just follow the directions to get home safely.

  Parking and exiting isn't as bad as some others make it seem.  Just gotta do it once or twice to learn which way to exit.
  
  We go here as well for Disney on Ice shows for the kids.  Nice local place but do not go here to eat.  Basically go here fed and enjoy the shows.  WWE events here are also a lot of fun.

  Kind of a dump as concerns events like Cirque de Soleil but I imagine it would be good for ice hockey. Concession stands were not impressive, but they fit in with the overall atmosphere of trenton.

  This was my first time visiting this venue, which is only eleven years old. The large circular brick building holds stage performances for concerts, top sporting events such as finals for women's basketball, hockey, local basketball teams and family friendly entertainment like the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus and The Harlem Globetrotters.
  
  Sesame Street's, "When Elmo Grows Up" is playing now along with other events like Martina McBride, Daughtry and Carrie Underwood. Some of the greats have performed here from Cher, Elton John, Springsteen, Shania Twain and Luciano Pavarotti.
  
  Allow yourself extra time to arrive at the Sun as it is right past the Trenton train tracks which backs up traffic, especially at intersections, makes you flip the bird, roll down your window and scream idiot or worse and creates fender benders for the very impatient! I happened to notice side parking lots 5-9 off the side streets and decided to stop fighting the traffic and made a quick turn. These are unmanned after they collect their dough and the event starts. Parking is available in lots directly across the street from the center.
  
  There are three gates to get inside and only one box office and of course I came upon the farthest gate from the will call window and it was pouring down a cold windy rain. We had originally walked up to the gate closest to our seats but once inside the gate near the box office we got our exercise jogging the circle to get back to where our seats were.
  
  This is where I wished I had paid better attention on the food stands around this very large circle, as they are duplicated in every section. I waited thirty minutes in a very crowded and slow line to get one order of fries. When I was leaving the event, this same concession stand was twice as busy and you could not even squeeze by, laughing I noticed very short formed lines at the duplicate concessions around the courtyard. Now I know!
  
  Seats were comfortable and the rows count down instead of up, so when you are in row E don't get too excited because row A is at the very top. With the size of the place and the crowds I think it is safe to say they used the entire alphabet for rows of seating.
  
  The lighting is great, you can view the event from televisions throughout the building and where the event is being held they have huge close up screens. Vendors come around with cotton candy and drinks, wine and beer is served in the courtyard. Food ranges from popcorn, funnel cakes, hamburgers, hot dogs, cheesesteaks to chili fries and sausage sandwiches with peppers and onions.
  
  Two scary "fathers"? with two different young boys who were terrified to be with these guys still haunts me, I need to become braver and ask the children if they are okay?!
  
  Now that I have the smarts on this venue which seats over 10,000 folks I will be back and enjoy it a whole lot more.
