    First Responders Bowl 2020
    Al P.

    Came to the First Responders Bowl at the end of the 2020 season so there were a lot of social distancing measures in place. It's hard to say what the concessions situation would be like on a normal game day but for this game it was adequate. Parking was easy to find and the stadium itself was large enough for college football but small enough to make just about every seat a good one.

    I went to the game at the stadium and it might have been the worst stadium I've been to. To buy a beer I waited over 45 minutes and it was cash only. You'd think people supported by daddy's money would only have cards to buy anything. Not only that, they have one screen and unless you have a magnifying glass or are directly next to it you won't see anything. All of the stands are bleachers so they will singe your skin if you don't maintain direct contact from 9am to 5pm. Overall, this stadium reeks of losers and low quality blow. Would not recommend unless you are into daddy's money and failure. For those that are rating this stadium a 5 star, this must be the first stadium you've ever been to. Concessions are below average and you have to embark on a quest to get beer. The environment in the crowd is so lackluster that any opposing team owns the stadium. #ponydown

    Great venue for football, lacrosse, soccer, and graduation. Built in 1999, it's in good shape and is well taken care of. A manageable size to get around - no scary high upper stands like some other stadiums. There is a grassy hill in one end zone that kids can roll down. Also, after most home games, fans are allowed down on the field to congratulate the players and toss a ball around.

I really appreciated the hospitality and giving us the opportunity to see this beautiful stadium. It was great seeing the rookie play and show out!

Some lines were moving extremely slowly, causing people to leave and join other lines that appeared to be moving faster. There were staff members present, but it seemed like merchandise lines, VIP lines, and general admission lines were all mixed together and going in different directions. Many attendees were frustrated and confused while trying to figure out where they needed to go. There needs to be better organization, clearer signage, and improved crowd management protocols. Overall, the entry process was very chaotic and made navigating the venue unnecessarily difficult.

With a seating capacity of 13,000, this is truly a Texas-Sized venue. It is perfect for high school football playoffs, which was exactly why I was here. When I pulled up to the stadium I was blown away by its size. I was also very impressed by the availability of parking. The design of the lot really made there not be a bad spot in the lot, and there was ample room for the plethora of busses that that it takes for schools to take their shows on the road. Other great amenities that this place has is modern and bright lighting, decent concession and restroom options, and great views of the field from all over the stadium. The one downfall I noticed was there are a LOT of stairs, and that can be troublesome for some attendees. For example, the people sitting next to me left their elderly parents on the lower level where there was not as good of a view in order to get a better view for themselves. Overall though, this is a very good venue, despite this inconvenience.

Even the seating was comfortable, and I don't say that often. The only issue was I had with my experience here was it took over two quarters for the scoreboard to work. It just felt weird not knowing how much time was left in each quarter when you couldn't see it.

    Going to an event at this venue reminded me of why I stopped going to public sporting events…read more This is not an easy place to get to, so plan on a hefty walk! The parking staff left our driver driving in circles, while he was trying to figure out where to drop us off and even the drop-off point was an empty parking lot away from the building. Luckily, we had an easy in, scan your bags and get a drink! Unfortunately, ordering off the concession stand menu is like a playing a game of jeopardy, place your order in the form of a question since there is no guarantee they are even offering it at the time. Although they claim to serve wine, they didn't yet it remains on the menu. So, on with the scavenger hunt from stand to stand for wine, wouldn't it just make sense to simply cross what you don't serve off of the menu and save us a few miles in that sweatbox? At this venue you learn to settle, bud light or a can of seltzer, take your pick. Either way you pay, over a dollar an ounce with a limit of 2 per passenger. Coldplay was great, loved the show. Consider saving a bottle of water and looking for a buggy ride for the after show exit, the walk seems even longer on the way out.. Cheers!

    We made it inside the Cotton Bowl to attend the Dallas Trinity Womens Soccer game. We had been to…read morethe fair grounds before for other events so we knew where we were going. What was unfortunate was the confusion with the pre-paid parking. It sent us one direction and the grounds attendants weren't helpful in guiding us. After driving around for a bit, we found a place to park and they never scanned our parking pass or collected money. (Next time we'll just head there and see where we can park rather than pre-pay). It was easy to get to the Cotton Bowl itself as they had clear signage to direct you to one side of the stadium for entry. While it is a nostalgic stadium, you realize how we've grown accustomed to more modern amenities (e.g. seats with backs, restrooms that are easy to navigate in/out without steps). The concessions were right in the front when you entered and easy to navigate.

My ticket was standing‑room only, and I'll be honest, my feet tapped out halfway through the show. That's on me, not them. Next time I'm bringing better shoes or the stamina of a 20‑year‑old. It hurt to leave, because I didn't get to hear my favorite song, but my shoes came off as soon as I got to my truck... so there's that... The staff was friendly, the crowd was great, and the whole place had a fun vibe. Drinks were a little pricey, but let's be real... if you go to a concert expecting bargain‑bin cocktails, you're probably new here. Parking was the only part I didn't love. I ended up farther out than I wanted, in an area that felt a bit sketchy, but it worked out fine. Once inside, the experience was solid, and I'd definitely go again, maybe with a seat next time, and maybe after doing some calf stretches. Overall, The Bomb Factory is a clean, lively venue with good people and a great atmosphere. Even with my early exit, I had a good time. Onward and upward to the next concert I go!!!

Although they offered seating down low, it was constantly rotating on availability depending on the performers. If I wanted to find a seat, I could have. I mostly stood near the bar which wasn't too crowded since it was an all ages event. After standing there for about 2 hours, they did ask us to move to the end of the bar for potential customers .. there never really were more than 3 people ordering at a time, but we still moved. We got tall boy White Claws and it was the perfect sipper drink. The lighting and sound was good for the experience here and they had plenty of vantage points (including a VIP upper floor). Security wasn't bad, I didn't bring a bag, so I breezed through. There's a large parking structure right behind the TBF, so walking over was very easy too. We did initially have handicap people in our group who opted not to attend after we shared that the surrounding sidewalks were not very level and that the amount of people might be a little tricky for navigating with a walker. All in all though, I had a great time here!
