Rupp Arena has an atmosphere like no other no matter what kind of event you are there to see....and of course nothing beats basketball in Rupp. I recently attended the Brad Paisley concert and had a great time, it was a great show.

Andrea Adkins Caudill

I have been to several events at Rupp. I attended my first concert there, the Dixie Chicks, in 2000. Since then I have seen Kenny Chesney (several times), Montgomery Gentry, Martina McBride, Allan Jackson, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Sugarland, Toby Keith, Dierks Bentley, and Keith Urban to name a few. I have also attended many UK games, which are always amazing and full of excitement. The circus has been fun the couple of times I have been. I love living in Lexington and having so many entertainers come to Rupp. I would love to see Kenny Chesney come back to Rupp.

r. pickering

I've been attending events at Rupp since I was a pup. Now I have a litter of my own and every single one loves to go to Rupp. Rupp makes Lexington Rock!

Rupp is GREAT. My favorite event there so far has been Disney on Ice. My children loved it! They were like WOW Mom this is where they play basketball on TV...are we on TV too Mom? They are 6 and 5 and are anticipating this years ice show as well.

danmanteuffel

Would love to aee the Rolling Stones and/or The Police

Julie Gleim Lyons

Of all the concerts I've seen at Rupp, I'd have to say Keith Urban has been my favorite performer by far. And of course, nothing compares to the year we had lower arena (row F!) season basketball tickets...and the atmosphere when we beat Florida at home in 2002. Would love to take my daughter to see Taylor Swift!

tryshthompson

I've seen so many great events at Rupp, it's hard to choose just one.

If I had to choose one, it would be UK-Georgia in 1999, simply because it was my first UK game. Nothing beats the atmosphere at a UK game.

Leigh Ann Thomas Mosier

my kids loved the miley cyrus and would absolutely love taylor swift!!!!

Mattea Carver Van Zee

Loved Dierks Bentley, would love to see Bonnie Raitt or Eric Clapton!

shale03

Oh my, how would I ever pick "my favorite show", I have seen so many! I guess I would start with George Strait 1996, Tina Turner, Bob Segar, Rod Stewart, New Kids on the Block 1989-1990(way back when!!), UK Basketball, the hockey team, Tim McGraw 2004, Dixie Chicks and all the truck pulls (that my brother used to pull in!). I would love to see Tim McGraw w/ Lady A, George Strait again, the upcoming Boys Sweet Sixteen (as long as we make it that far!).

Amanda Russell

I would love to go to some uk basketball games or next season's BIG BLUE MADDNESS where the seats are not way up at the top. (I am afraid of heights) go figure.
My favorite event at Rupp would have to be the backstreet boys when I was little. I know I know but it was pretty amazing. I still sing the songs when they randomly come on the radio or me and my friends have a old cd moment =]

dhensley

We're getting better all the time!!!

Chrissy Wright

As Far as who I would like to see, I would love to see Metallica, but my husband would love to see Korn!

Kristen

I have been to Rupp Arena countless times and so far in 2010 I have been for the Brad Paisley concert and ESPN College GameDay! They were both completely awesome!!!

Shane Barmore

My favorite moment in Rupp? Saw that 28-2 run our CATS put on the UNC Tarheels. Loud is NOT the word!

jaelynross

I would love to win tickets to the "Taylor Swift" concert. I have never been to a concert before. And I really like Taylor Swift. I've only been to Rupp once and that was to watch a UK game. I would really like to go back!

kishacombs

Besides the one UK game that I was ablet to get tickets for, I would say my greatest time at Rupp Arena would have to be when I watched Toby Keith!! He was awesome!!

sbrat

P!nk! Please bring her to Rupp Arena.

Lisa

Some of my favorite events at Rupp was the last time Garth Brooks was here and also the last time George Strait was here. Awesome!! I would love to Bon Jovi or Jimmy Buffet to play Rupp.

meagandiane

I'm so excited because my top demand for Rupp Arena is Taylor Swift, and she's coming! So you guys already took care of mine, but no tickets :(

Also, I think it would be awesome to get Beyonce :)

cathyreveal

We recently attended the Black Eyed Peas concert and had a great time!

ucdawgs22

My kids would love to see Nick and the Adminstration. We always love coming to the Disney Ice shows and we loved the Jonas Brothers with Jordin Sparks

ucdawgs22

My kids would love to See Nick Jonas and the Adminstration

Brittany

Of course I am a HUGE Kentucky Wildcats fan, so Big Blue Madness and UK games are always great! However, if we're talking concerts, hands down best concert I've ever seen is Brad Paisley right here at Rupp Arena! I have seen him twice, including his most recent show in January, and I can't wait until he comes back!

entertainment4u

I would like to see Bob Seger back again. My all time favorite

kathyginn

My earliest memories of Rupp Arena included concerts of Neil Diamond, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson in the 70's. With my kids, I recall the circus and Sesame Street and then high school graduations. I look forward to future great entertainment like Tim, Carrie, and Brad!
