The amphitheater is not really accessible for the physically handicap. Has only one section that is relatively level, rest of the Amphitheater is accessible by stairs or steep and sloped walkways. Bathrooms on both sides and at top are available for the audience. The neat thing about the stage, is that it has a walk way over the orchestra pit, so the performers can walk from the stage to the front row area of the Amphitheater. Some performers will walk into the audience after they leave the stage area. Food trucks are usually adjacent and staff sets up lots of chairs and tables for a nice food experience. Residents are allowed adult beverages ( Alcohol ). Some drink a bit too much. Parking is available around the Amphitheater and the streets. There is no charge to attend and park your vehicle. Basically the concerts are only for residents and their invited guests.

Today was such a special day at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Long Beach. I was lucky enough to…read moreattend the graduation of one of my very close friends, and I could not be more proud of her. She graduated with honors and was in the very first group of students to walk, which tells you right away this girl has an impressive list of accomplishments. She came out absolutely covered in sashes, cords, collars -- every academic honor imaginable. I kept joking and asking if she wanted me to buy her one more lei or bouquet, but she already had so much stuff hanging off her she could barely move.What impressed me most is how grounded and sensible she is. She skipped prom, skipped grad night, and stayed focused on her future. You can tell this girl has her mind on bigger things. Sitting through graduation, we all started realizing we were probably in for a three-hour ceremony. Her mom laughed and said, "Honestly, if she wants to leave after she gets her diploma, I wouldn't care. She's followed every rule up to this point." I started cracking up and asked if she wanted me to text her. She said yes. Sure enough, right after getting her diploma, I suddenly see her walking straight through the stadium toward the exit gate. I looked over and said, "Is she doing it? Is she really doing it?" Next thing you know, we get a text: "I'm ready to go." Absolute renegade behavior -- and honestly, iconic. We beat all the traffic, had the perfect exit, and she just shrugged and said, "I'm done with these people. Let's go." Move to the beat of your own drum, kid. The future is looking very bright for this girl. Five stars for a graduation day we'll never forget.

Seats are comfortable even without padding, and the views from any seat to the field are perfect. Thank goodness for the great lighting, as this is a night game.

Two high CIF championships in one day (basketball was the other championship today) for one high school. What a great day

Had a chance to see my first Long Beach baseball game on a Wednesday night celebrating Filipino…read moreheritage night. It was a lot of fun, and our group of four had a great time. Blair Field was built in 1956, and has been the home of the Long Beach State 'Dirtbags' baseball team since 1993. The field was named after the sports editor of the local paper, who was a champion for the field to be built. After a significant contribution from a longtime supporter, the infield was named Bohl Diamond at Blair Field in 2017. The 'Dirtbags' are a college Division I baseball team, with some alumni that have done very well at the MLB level. Two of them have had parts of the stadium named after them (Tulowitzki Batting Facility and Weaver Bullpen). It has also been the home of the new professional Pioneer League baseball team, the Long Beach Coast (aka Regulators) since 2026 (this game was part of the inaugural season). The Pioneer League is an independent league (not directly tied to MLB team), but is an official MLB partner league, and consists of 12 teams across the Western U.S. The opponent tonight were the Missoula Paddleheads, coming all the way from Missoula, Montana. The stadium seats 3,238 fans, with some distinct sections. The most expensive are the Backstop Club, 6 boxes of 2 rows of 3, right behind home plate, costing $48.36. Behind those are HomePlate Reserved, $27.20. The field box seats consist of 2 rows of 3, closest to the field on both the first and third base lines, and cost $43.07. Behind those are Baseline Reserved for $19.79. All of these have individual, numbered chairs. The rest are bleachers (metal seats with no dividers between seats). The Bleacher Reserved are just behind the HomePlate Reserved, with metal benches as seats (bringing seat cushions isn't a bad idea), but having seatbacks. They were 50% off this Tuesday (normally $20.54 but $10.27 tonight), and those were the 4 that I purchased via their dedicated website. Tickets were delivered via an email, and were easy to transfer to my Apple Wallet for easy scanning. General Admission seats behind the Baseline Reserved were just $2 tonight (normally $16.62). This is the way to go. Season ticket holders have some advantages in that they gain entry to the stadium parking lot (single game have to park on the street around the area), and are allowed to enter the stadium early (others have to wait till 1 hour before game time). Thus we waited till 5:35, at which point they let us in. First was a security check (no backpacks allowed), a metal detector. Then a scan of your ticket. Once entered, we noticed a lot of Filipino themed food vendors. Foodologie, Gemmae, and Teofilo Coffee were all there. The smell of fried Shanghai-style lumpia was pretty prevalent throughout the night. It made us happy to see this Filipino staple being shared by baseball fans while watching the game. Before the start of the game, there were two performances of traditional Filipino dances, the presentation of Filipino beauty queens, the throwing out of the first pitch by a prominent Filipino community leader, and the singing of the national anthems (Filipino and United States), both by two different Filipino singers. As one can imagine, the three Filipinas sitting next to me were very happy. As for the game itself, the Coast lost 1-3 this night, with the game lasting about 2.5 hours. It definitely exceeded my expectations. Plus our neighbor made it big by appearing on the "jumbotron" TWICE, with her dancing (that's when I understood why she wanted to be sitting on the aisle). She was chosen 'fan of the game' and got two complementary tickets for a future ball game. Some negatives were the poor announcing of what was happening during the game by the PA, and with the really, really small display of the current balls/strikes/outs on the jumbotron. There was a long delay (seemed like 10 minutes, though probably shorter) at the bottom of the 8th inning, when the game just stopped for apparently no reason...the players stayed on the field, but the umpiring crew of three just wouldn't let the game continue. The PA system started time filling events as if it was between innings to keep the fans pre-occupied, so they must have known what was going on. But the baseball fans didn't...finally, we got irritated enough to start chanting 'Let's play ball...Let's play ball'. That got the umpires attention, as if it was the first time he noticed that there were fans waiting. Baseball is a game of hand signals, and I had no clue what the crew chief signaled to the press box when the game restarted. I was expecting an explanation from the PA, but nada...the game continued as if the delay was normal. But the views and atmosphere was good enough for all four of us to want to stay for the entire game. Plus got to see a 95 mph fastball from behind home plate. It wasn't too difficult to leave the parking lot, and we got home in under 30 minutes.

The employee who helped me was unbelievably rude from the start. She had a very condescending tone, barely acknowledged me, and just stood there in silence while I was trying to order, like I was inconveniencing her by being a customer. When I tried to show my ticket on the app, she told me to zoom in. I couldn't, so I offered to just read it out loud to make things easier. Instead of working with me, she snapped and raised her voice saying she has a hearing aid. Okay... but how does that justify being aggressive and unhelpful? There was zero patience, zero communication, and just an overall hostile attitude the entire interaction. It honestly felt uncomfortable and unnecessary going in the movie. It's frustrating because the theater itself is perfectly fine, but customer service like that completely kills the experience. I shouldn't feel like I'm bothering someone just to watch a movie. Wouldn't come back unless they seriously improve how they treat customers at the front.

The lobby was small but still had a decent sized concession area. The popcorn smelled fresh and had I not just eaten, I probably would have gotten some! I made my way to my theater and found the seats to be fairly comfortable. I love how they recline! The theater was also very clean, so the staff does a great job with this! No stickiness or leftover food was found on my seat! The theater had both good picture and sound quality. I didn't see anything premium that needed enhancements, though. Parking was easy when I got there in their giant and free lot, located in the mall. When I left in the evening, the lot had filled up, but there were still some spots available. The view of the marina just steps away is gorgeous and there are also some restaurants and shops and even a gym here to enjoy before or after a film! I love the convenience of this AMC and would return again the next time I'm in the area!

(5/5) A dreamy wedding venue with gorgeous views, amazing…read morefood, and beautiful memories! We got married at Old Ranch Country Club 7 years ago, and it was truly an unforgettable experience . From start to finish, everything turned out beautifully. Planning & Communication: The planner we worked with was excellent -- super responsive, organized, and easy to communicate with . Planning a wedding with around 300 guests can be overwhelming, but they handled everything so smoothly and professionally, which made the entire process feel much less stressful. Scenery & Setting: The gazebo overlooking the golf course was absolutely stunning . It made for the most romantic ceremony setting and incredible photos. The lush greenery and open views gave such an elegant, serene vibe -- we were in love the moment we saw it . Food & Reception: The food was delicious -- and feeding 300 people is no small task! Everything was well-prepared, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Even years later, guests still tell us how much they loved the food . Pricing: This is definitely a higher-end venue, but you get what you pay for. Wedding packages typically range from around $10,000 and up, with per-person costs often around $200+, depending on guest count, menu, and upgrades. For a large wedding like ours, it felt worth it for the service, space, and overall experience . What We Loved Most: * The gazebo ceremony site overlooking the golf course * Seamless coordination for a large 300-guest wedding * Fantastic communication from the planning team * Amazing food that guests still remember * So many gorgeous photo spots Final Thoughts: If you're looking for a venue that can beautifully handle a large wedding, offers breathtaking scenery, and delivers on food and service, Old Ranch Country Club is an amazing choice. Our wedding day turned out better than we imagined, and we'll always treasure the memories made here .
