In addition to the front entrance there are three other entry's (I think) around perimeter. Inside, the concourse goes completely around with vendors, merchants, trophy cases, restrooms. There a few different eateries than the generic stadium food; Salsaritas, Mr Seafood, Oriental kitchen, Caribbean cafe, donuts, ice cream. The inner arena doesn't have a bad viewing seat to the floor, just depends on preference. One thing neither the upper or lower seats have are cup holders like the baseball stadium. IMO the upper deck seats are slightly more comfortable than lower deck. The arena capacity is around 18,000, big for college venues.

The facility itself was nice. Great track and surface for the athletes. The pole vault station had a automatic pole-rasing apparatus. Very cool. High jump mats were new. Just a great experience for the kids. They had never run an indoor raised and embanked track before and this made for a great time. Seating is limited depending on the setup. I'd suggest bringing a camp chair just in case, they are allowed. This event, and most here, will require the clear bag policy, so don't bring your purse. Plenty of parking across the street at 1300 Heyward Street. They have bathrooms near the entrance. They "kept up" with the usage during our full day event. The only concern would be for those who's mobility is limited as it is a walk from the facaility floor and includes stairs. I'm sure there is a lift, I just didn't happen to see it. There are restaurants nearby as well, including the highly recommended DiPrato's within walking distance.

It was a packed house for sure. Parking at the Volleyball center is very limited but if you make a right on Park street there is a lot about a block or two away with plenty of space. Parking is free on days where there are no events going on at the Colonial Life Arena. The arena itself is very nice and for $5 you really cant find something cheaper to do for 2-3 hours. I read somewhere they have season tickets for $25 as well.

Founders Park (formerly Carolina Stadium) definitely sets the standard for college baseball…read morestadiums! While other venues have started to catch up in recent years, Founders Park remains one of the premiere places to watch a game when it comes to college baseball, and has been for years. The stadium is configured excellently, with great sight lines no matter where you're sitting or standing, and provides a cool peek into both teams' bullpens. The stadium also has wide-open concourses, ensuring they never (or rarely) get overcrowded while you're walking through. In addition, while the concessions are a bit overpriced, they do have a lot of different options, to include your traditional baseball stadium snacks, along with some other interesting food items. Finally, Founders Park does a great job of being a family-friendly venue, with a full playground for the kids to run around on, as well as a grassy "berm" that they can play in. Other patrons can also sit in this "berm", usually on a towel or blanket. To conclude, Founders Park is an awesome college baseball venue, which sets the standard for what a college baseball stadium should be. While I hope that the university continues to improve it, I hope that Founders Park will be around for years to come!
