It is clean and safe and lots of people around when an event is on. You will be fine walking to/from the venue-as in any city/downtown be sensible, but you shouldn't expect trouble. The area is known as the arena district and has been developed in recent years so there are restaurants, bars, etc and of course construction eyesores. Yesterday was my first trip down there in months and here were many new apt buildings, restaurants etc.
Here is a trip advisor link if you want to check things out
