Having grown up coming to NC State games here my entire life, this place feels like home. We've had…read moreseason tickets in the same section for years now and a steady parking spot. I love the vibe of the parking lot on game day! Everyone is ready to go! And there are plenty of porta potties so you don't have to walk into Lenovo Center each time you've gotta go. The stadium itself has plenty of bathrooms and several stations where you can buy food and drinks. The best is the brew through which has fast and convenient service! They keep ya going fast! And the kettle corn is the perfect sweet and salty snack to go with a good brew. I look forward to many a more games here at Carter Finley.

Home of the Wolfpack (NC State)!!! There isn't a bad view in this stadium. Being a college stadium…read morethe seats are split between being actual seats and bench seats depending where you are sitting. There are luxury boxes, like a professional stadium, if you want to call them that, that are probably reserved by the various alumni societies. Parking and getting in and out of here can be a bit convoluted. The stadium sits near the PNC arena and the State Highway Patrol and Raleigh PD are well versed in getting traffic in and out of here. Which is great because the local roads around here can be tough to navigate. The often funnel traffic onto Wade Avenue, Western Boulevard, Edward Mill Rd and I-40. I've been here twice in the last two years. Last week was for the NHL Stadium Series. Prior to that it was for my son's high school football team state championship game in 2021 (it poured). Both were great and the organizers did a great job. I added photos from both events that show two different vantage points in the stadium.

Very sad to see 35 years of incredible baseball history end. It is worth going to a game if you have the time this week or weekend. Last game is Sunday. The fan store has run out of Mudcat hats at least a 7-1/2 which is my (average size). Lots of Wilson Warbird gear. But the experience to be in this incredible stadium was amazing. Don't know if I will be able to go again--but so glad I made it once.

Bottom line: The Wake Competition Center campus is pretty impressive. A multi-sport complex that…read moreoffers outside fields as well as centers for gymnastics and volleyball. The main building houses Invisalign Arena that has the nice practice ice rinks facility for the Carolina Hurricanes including its own cafe. Very nice sports center! The Deets: I was made aware through Yelp actually that there was a practice arena for the Carolina Hurricanes in our lil ol' town of Morrisville (complete with its own cafe, another review to come) so I ventured out to see it. The Wake Competition Center is a big sports campus including the Invisalign Arena that houses the ice rinks and cafe, as well as other centers for gymnastics and volleyball that I saw and large fields for outside sports (see their webpage for details on all aspects of this multi-sport complex). Those outside sports fields were packed with people when I went in, as it is mid soccer season. The sports fields were very well kept from what I saw, very nice. I ventured inside Invisalign Arena and saw the ice rinks (one Red and one Black, for the Hurricane team colors). There was a bit of rink action going on while I was there, and not only can you sit in the stands to watch but also there are seats with tables lining the rink like a work area (see pic). This place is a pretty impressive ice sports rink facility and the arena was as packed inside here as the outside fields were, this is a bustling place! There appears to be ample parking but again it was near capacity when I visited on the weekend. I think this sports complex is pretty nice and has a lot to offer for an active sports area like the NC Triangle, I dig it!

It is a great add-on for western wake residents and benefits us a lot. For ice skating and hockey,…read morepeople don't have to drive 30 minutes to Buck Jones or eastern wake locations anymore.

It's hard to walk into UNC's Carmichael Arena and not appreciate the sheer magnitude of basketball…read moretalent that competed under its roof. Coach Dean Smith led the 1981 Tar Heel team to a national championship here, with the help of a few guys named Jordan, Worthy and Perkins. Before the team relocated to the Dean Dome in 1986, the venue was considered one of the loudest (and some say, hottest) in college basketball, and Coach Smith's legacy still looms large in the building today. Yes, the seats can be tight and uncomfortable, the concourses cramped and the concession stands undersized, but Carmichael remains a North Carolina treasure, as well a great place to enjoy a women's basketball game, a volleyball match or a gymnastics meet.

Having been involved in many higher education conference, training and education facilities, I feel that I am an expert. Through my professional and volunteer experiences, my credentials include being very active in the SigEp Fraternity, Student Government Association, and Interfraternity Council at UNC CHARLOTTE, serving as President of the New York Chapter of the Transportation Research Forum, and being a very active member of the American Public Transportation Association, which took me to conferences and meetings at many higher learning institutions including NJIT, the University of Illinois Chicago, the University of South Florida in Tampa, and the Georgia Tech Conference Center in Atlanta. I have also been to many convention centers and hotel and commercial meeting rooms. Without knowing the pricing, but assuming the NC State McKimmon Center is competitive, I have to say that the facilities are nice and seem to be a good bet for any conference, training exercise, or meeting. The facility has a very nice academic feel while still being inviting to industry, students, and people attending seminars, like me. It strikes a good balance between a professional conference environment and a welcoming campus atmosphere.

Since it's university-owned, I understand that they want to be cost-conscious but it's just not anything that would attract a major conference with an expo. The breakfast and lunch provided were pretty pedestrian, and it would have been nice to have soft drinks other than ice tea. I suppose that's all negotiated in the meeting contracts.
