Door staff and security are easy and friendly, the facilities are always clean and kept up nicely. The event staff ranges from friendly to unsuitable but I think they're usually hired by an agency, so we'll take the good with the bad. The Siegel Ctr doesn't leave much for one to desire. Parking sometimes isn't all that fun but it always works out. Good venue for local sports and other events.

The atmosphere is always lively, the staff is welcoming, and the beer is always flowing to enjoy while watching the game. It's a great local experience that never disappoints. The promotions are always a blast, the fireworks nights are fantastic, and it really captures the classic minor league charm. The tickets are cheap and the mascot is cool. I think catching a game is one of the best things to do in Richmond.

Given that it is the off-season, teams usually have a significant clearance section due to incoming merchandise for their new season. As luck would have it, I was right; several hats and shirts were 40-50% off. Plus, I had the opportunity to ask some questions with the team's staff. They mentioned that I needed to return for the 2025 season; plus, they're building a new stadium called CarMax Park, which will open in 2026. Also, you can't miss the stadium; I mentioned to the staff that it looks as if someone dropped a section of Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium in Richmond.

Seems like they have definitely worked on improving areas that needed it since they've opened. The…read moreonly thing I observed that seemed a slight inconvenience was the one spot selling merch was backed up 100 yards long every time I walked by. Other than that... lots of easy to access parking. The whole facility was remarkably clean before and during the show, solid beverage and food options. Plenty of assorted staff on hand, most were very friendly and helpful. Sound was pretty good too, loud but clear and of course amble bass. Who needs Ticketmaster anyway?

This was my first time at this venue…read more We saw Machine Gun Kelly and the concert was AMAZING!!!! So the only issue was that there was a lot of gates. As advertised it said Gate 10 drop off for Uber and Lyft. Parking was $10 cash only. We drove around the entire track area twice because ALL gates were closed except the first one. We turned in there and they said that was the correct gate. That was a little confusing. The venue said Masks were required but no one had them on. The lines were super quick to check the bags and scan to get inside. The best part was having a lot of drink stands and food stands. There wasn't really a wait for those. They even had vendors with bags random spots with drinks and iPads to pay right there. The merchandise line was LONG but steady. There were several lines so it was not too bad. The staff was friendly who were out making sure everyone was listening or if they needed help finding their spot. The arena is covered so if there was rain... it would have been okay. I will definitely come back here for a concert because it was clean and organized.

The fan area is right outside the main gate and easy to navigate. They had lots of autograph sessions before the races that weekend. Best part was having pit passes to go behind the scenes during the race. It was a unique experience that created lots of memories.

The pit is definitely the place to be, though they seem to have the power to blast sound further back than the seats even go.

I was there for a private event. The crowd was warm and wonderfully mixed. There was a little chat before the event began that basically told us to not get kicked out by being mean or non-inclusive.

Bottom line: Weird, welcoming, and worth every lap around the block looking for a spot if you're into crowds and are looking for something different.

A great atmosphere! Great energy! Big fun!!…read more This was my second year attending the camp, but this year I attended as a VIP guest!!! Talk about comfort...this time around was so much more rewarding. The first year I attended in 2016...it was at least 100 degrees...no shade in sight basically. But there were oscillating fans blowing mist throughout the crowd. But it's a large open field on a hill full of Redskins Fans...but the heat OMG!! There are areas for children to play as well. This year wasn't as packed as the year 2016, but the energy was still present. Well fast forward to this year...air conditioned tent with tables and chairs...free snacks including chips, water, soda and a voucher to use at Papa John's (tent on site). So to get all this... I won a contest Papa John's hosted on FaceBook - so yeah, go like their page now!! We also were warranted an up close and personal view of the coaching staff and the players. We were positioned away from the main crowd. An unforgettable experience that I am so looking forward too next year. Not sure if it will be held here next year, I believe the team is looking at other locations to host the camp. We drove up from Chesapeake...about a 90 minute drive well worth your time especially if you're a fan of the Redskins. We parked in a parking lot ($10 or $20) about a half a mile away from the training facility. Remember to stay hydrated and bring money for parking and snacking. Bring a lawn chair too and perhaps memorabilia and a sharpie to obtain signatures. Small coolers are allowed as well. But if you forget your memorabilia or want something new/else there is a store on site that includes all types of items from pens to jerseys. FREE to attend - FREE to take pictures - Porta Potty rentals (unisex) are present as well as mini sinks to wash your hands. Have fun and enjoy life! HTTR!!

With the passing of my mother 2 months ago, I went from 70+ hours a week as a Corporate Training Manager back to VCU Photographer within a week. They were so empathetic to my situation from having to academically withdraw a couple years ago because of financial and family reasons. They helped me access my accounts and pay off previous semesters to get me back in school in time for the fall semester. All within a week. No words really can express my gratitude to this school. Thank you!

Ohhh boy do I have a review of my experience at this awful racist university! I came here and lived…read morein the Honors College as required by the program I was in during my freshman year which is my LAST and I'm SO happy about it. The Honors Dorm has the interior of an old mental hospital that was purchased by the school so frankly it's not the best. This year, they assigned two people instead of one person per room which is what the rooms are intended for and work better with. Closets are severely small, so definitely watch what you're bringing with you and make sure to take home your seasonal clothing when you can. Lofted beds, and only one railing that goes a little before halfway of the bed and so that's dangerous and you have the risk of becoming injured if you fall off. We have our own bathrooms, no communal. No kitchenette except in the Honors Lounge and not sure if we're allowed to use it so always eating at Panda Express down the street or at the Shafer Dining Hall. The walls are paper thin and you can hear people laughing loudly, talking and playing music even past the quiet hours into the very early morning. Me and my roommate had to put in 5 noise complaints from our next door neighbor and nothing was done until my parents got involved and emailed the housing director of Honors when room write-ups were finally implemented because it got so bad and I had to purchase noise-cancelling headphones. Due to wearing these at night for months, my ears were always sore in the day, constantly had headaches and sleep deprived often during the week. After all this, people went out of their way to not speak to me and gossip about me. Our neighbors constantly pulled in my roommate to their dorm room to talk about the situation and only say hi to her when walking past us on purpose. Basically, I was outcasted and it's bullshit how I was treated by the others living in this dorm. Moving out was a pain because they started renovations on the other side of the street from the Honors Dorm for a new housing hall and closed off parking near the Honors College so it was unnecessarily hard to park and get my belongings into a vehicle on the side street that is a one way and has limited parking. They also do not have enough carts for everyone when moving in and out so be cautious of that and bring your own wagon to wheel your stuff in. On the positive side, the events that were hosted were fun, educational and I would definitely recommend going to them if you live in this dorm. Moving on to academics, I was a Pre-Clinical Radiation Sciences major, concentrating in radiation therapy. The classes I took for this school cost me my spot due to bad professors and a flipped style lecture class resulting in awful grades. I did extremely well in high school being in the top 100 of a 500 student body class and a Summa Cum Laude recipient so it was a surprise that I struggled at this school when I have always done well since a young age. I think being born female and white also cost my spot because they prioritize minorities and people who identify as transgender or nonbinary. I took General Physics I with Professor Woodworth, a pretty nice guy, but didn't teach well and considering I took AP Physics 1 in high school, I struggled so bad. I took an A+ in high school while this college class I had C. I did 3 tutoring appointments every week, attended PASS sessions and office hours... still barely passing the class. I also took Anatomy with Dr. Cario this past semester and SHE IS AWFUL! She is there to just get paid. Her class is a flipped style lecture where you have to watch videos on your own and learn what you did and go into class to do unnecessary group work. She did not provide help and the way her class is structured is ridiculous. Exams are worth 70% of the grade. Never have I seen a class like hers! She needs to go do something else as a career because half the students dropped her class in April and there were over 100 of us! Campus is way too big and unsafe. Driving through campus is hard because of dumbasses driving in Richmond and people jaywalking constantly out into the road. Honors College is away from pretty much everything so that was great when trying to attend club meetings and going to parties. Sexual assaults, burglaries, and shootings are common and often around the campus so be aware of that. NEVER join AOII if you're wanting to rush a sorority! I had an awful experience with them. Last but not least, when I participated in VCU Acceleration, we talked about white privilege, how minorities don't have the money to get healthcare and culture competency. There is no such thing as white privilege and should be removed from any educational curriculum as it's called economic privilege. With all that, I am not returning to VCU ever again and going to a much better school where I am respected, have more opportunities because again minorities are a priority here, and will actually make friends. Good luck, incoming students
