stafford centre of performing arts/theatre/convention centre

A bunch of gals went here recently for a Chubby Checker concert. It is a small venue, but because of that, it is more personable. There is upstairs seating as well as downstairs. It was clean and one of the best things is that there is FREE parking. No garages either. Quick in and out. I look forward to attending more concerts there!

First time at the Stafford Center Theatre. On a Saturday we drove from Katy, TX and it took us about 35-40 minutes. The parking is free and there seem to be plenty for this particular show (The Ultimate Doo Wop Concert). The venue itself was very clean and it looked very nice inside. It has 3 levels of seating and it seats approximately 600-650 for the show. Everybody was friendly and enjoyed themselves. They had 2 concession stands open offering beer, mixed drinks, wine, and bags of chips. Beer/wine were $6; mixed drinks were $7. The bathrooms are at one side so at intermission both men's and ladies' had a line but it went pretty quickly.

The annual Houston Hot Sauce festival is here every year and we have been attending for years. There is plenty of parking and plenty of space for the happenings. My only complaint is that the festival is always held outside. Imagine Houston in September after a rain! It has rained for several years and becomes a muddy humid mess. However, this has never stopped is from attending! It would be nice if the festival could be moved indoors when the weather is bad. Their bathroom facilities are nice and well kept. We will definitely be back for the 2015 Houston Hot Sauce Festival, rain or shine!

Been here once before for their annual hot pepper festival but didn't go inside. For that, the grounds were nice. This visit we went for a company Christmas party. The place is huge inside and the spaces accommodate everything from small, to huge parties. Our area held about 200 and was nicely arranged and the food was good. There was also a wedding down the hall that looked to hold about 1000, all partied up right! The restrooms were clean. My only neg is that there was only one, which you had to walk to the opposite end to get to. Maybe the others were closed off since it was just Christmas/wedding parties, but if you have a private rental, check on this if it's important to you!!

This is the worse place I have stepped in, in my whole life. An irresponsible manager called "Chris" shuts down a show an hour before the contract said it was going to end. No explanations provided, a total disrespectful attitude to the audience that, astonished, was asking why is the show being shut down like that. They just turn on the lights of the stage and turned off the mics. Just like that. The manager responsible for the aggression just called the police and didn't leave their side for a second, so brave of him! It makes me wonder (and to a lot of the people in the audience too) if his irrational attitude responds to "race" issues. If that's the case, this theater should let go this individual, if they consider themselves as a serious organization. A manager should not treat customers like that, and there is no exception to this rule.

Not a bad seat in the theatre. Great staff and attractions! Free parking and easy access. Have plans to attend soon.

Went to a concert of the Ft Bend Symphony. Building was clean, and cool. Bathrooms also nice and clean. Acoustics Excellent; Thunderstorms moved through during performance and we heard nothing. It did not interfere with the performance at all. There were fireworks outside afterwards. The performance was televised.

Went to a business meeting i.e. conference. Was a great place to have. Had been there before for a concert a few years back. Just a great venue.
