Very accommodating venue…read more I attended this venue 5.2026 for my son's graduation from Hampton University. It was perfect for the large crowd of attendees. The free parking was certainly appreciated. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. Great intercom system, concessions, etc. I highly recommend this venue for any event.

It's confusing when there are two sections "8", hard to find at night and numbers are hidden. Jumbo screens are large enough, acoustics was nice. Metal seats are ample sized and clean and decently comfortable. Watched Journey at a concert. Venue itself was good, catching profile of a building from the highway, nestled in its own complex with ample parking..Wish there is better signage for parking lot numbers. It's confusing when there are two sections "8", hard to find at night and numbers are hidden. Jumbo screens are large enough, acoustics was nice. Metal seats are ample sized and clean and decently comfortable. Large enough but smaller than most stadiums to retain the intimate vibe, smaller crowds seem like a much bigger draw. The only slight criticism is that you get a mixed bag of staff volunteers. Some just appear busy doing nothing to ask if they can help you, others just tell you "just go there and find someone else to help you"

This is a truly special place. If you love stock car racing, you'll love Langley Speedway. It's a…read moregreat old short track (60+ years), that's in great shape with modern amenities. The on-track competition is amazing too. The highlight is the late model stock cars, Langley has one of the most competitive fields in the country. Nice mix of former national champs and up and coming stars. Some of the best have cut their teeth here, including Denny Hamlin, Jimmie Johnson, Chase Elliott, and so many more. The tickets are really affordable, and so are the concessions. The concession stand's quality is excellent as well. Don't miss the "redneck fries". The track is a great place to bring the kids too. There's a playground, kids club, and discounted tickets. There's no better place for a Saturday night out in Hampton!

As for Armstrong stadium, while there are no bells and whistles, the restrooms are clean, I love the blue track, and it's holding up quite nicely for a stadium built in the roaring 20's with nice added touches. I love what you've done with the place!

The Convocation Center is where Hampton University play home basketball games. My brother college…read morebasketball team played against HU. All seats in the arena has a good view of the floor. If the arena is not filled by half-time, spectators can move closer to the bottom (if seats are available). The food options are limited but you will find typical arena food (popcorn,candy,chip,hot dogs,soda, etc).The players Will Call is located inside of the building near Sections B & C. There was plenty of parking next to the arena. I give Hampton University Convocation Center a 3.5 rating.

Security guards seem to take bribes to pick and choose who was let into the venue. After standing in line for over two hours the performer was let on stage and the crowd outside of the venue was not contained. The doors of the venue was shut. Associates from the ticket counter said no refunds would be given then proceeded to open up the door and allow two unaccompanied minors in. Was a disaster.

Review of Hampton University - Returning Parent Perspective…read more My student is entering her second year at Hampton University. I have been pleased with the educational department, the faculty, and the overall campus environment. However, like many HBCUs, the campus is in dire need of repairs--air conditioning, elevators, and other essential facilities are outdated or frequently out of service. The most frustrating and disappointing aspect of our experience has been the Financial Aid Office. It is, without a doubt, one of the least responsive offices I've encountered at any college. Calls go unanswered, counselors fail to return messages, and form requests are ignored. For the past six weeks, I have been trying--unsuccessfully--to speak with a financial aid counselor. Two weeks ago, after contacting the President's Office, I was assured someone would follow up, but that never happened. Living over four hours away makes in-person visits impractical. With my student returning to campus in just one week--still facing financial uncertainty--I feel as though we are right back where we started last year. This is my second child to attend college, and as an HBCU graduate myself, I had high hopes. Unfortunately, my experience leads me to caution other parents: save yourself the stress and the $45,000 per year--consider a PWI where administrative support is more reliable.

I am a huge fan of the Universoul Circus! I believe myself and my family have attended since 2012…read more This year the location was outside of the Hampton Convention Center than its usual location, outside of Military Circle Mall (The Galleria). In my opinion, the vibe was a bit different this time around. I am usually hyped about all the acts from start to finish. My favorite act, which returned this year, the motorcyclists, daredevils ... they amaze me every single time! Only three cyclists appeared this year, but the act was still super thrilling! A few new acts made an appearance this year... some were good while others were just OK. Nevertheless, this circus is pretty much the only well known circus that is still in existence. The Universoul Circus comes to the area faithfully. I recommend you check it out next year or in an area nearby. They will usually run the circus for 5 to 7 days. And this year, the show at Hampton started July 31st and ended August 4th. The prices can range from $10 to $30... keep your eyes peeled for special offers going forward. Parking... plenty. Restrooms are located outside the big top. And yes, the circus is under a huge tent... outside... under the BIG TOP it's air conditioned and super comfy. There is almost not a bad seat, but I do recommend section G. A great family outing if you love a good time. Have fun and enjoy life :)
