Great venue, wonderful fans that are eager to share what they know about the game and the point system, super welcoming staff & volunteers and spectacular teams. So much fun. You can grab a bite out back where a food truck is parked, wait in line for drinks or have them delivered. Buy your tickets online early because this event sold out. The energy of the crowd was awesome. The announcer keeps the spectators engaged with play by play in the fast moving arena. After the first period volunteers came out to race on tricycles keeping the energy hyped and engaged. Fantastic sporty and some very tough roller derby battles. Crushed it.

Pure fun! Some dear friends are huge derby fans and brought us to our first game. We had a blast!…read more As a newbie we thought we would be lost BUT nope...they have people who job it is to explain the game to you but they also project game rules and play on the screen before it starts. Its pretty easy to follow and wow does game play go by fast! Our friends try to get the VIP couch so we even got the full treatment which was neat. There are snacks at a pretty decent rate - hot dogs, nachos (which are crazy big and loaded!), sodas, candy and chips plus a beer/wine garden. Cash only so plan accordingly but their merch table can take cards and they have some pretty great merch. I loved the diversity seen here with age and this is a body positive zone with all different shapes and sizes - bravo!

Fuhgetabout the gym... Rock the boat, baby!…read more Most Portlanders, if they know anything about dragon boats, know the big Portland/Kaohsiung Rose Festival races, with the opulent, dragon-headed boats, the flag catching and the sprawling, boisterous crowds. But all that happens between April and June. And then *poof* it's all over and the heavy Taiwanese boats are stashed away beneath the Hi-Hat Restaurant for another year. The real juice of Portland's dragon boating milieu -- where teams train year-round and often go to national and world championships -- is the paddler-run DragonSports USA. A single dragon boat club has maybe 25 or 30 members and can't afford to buy, moor or maintain the 12-meter craft. So DragonSports USA was formed to provide all of Portland with access to sleek Hong Kong-stye dragon boats for recreational and team uses. And since 1997 they've been right downtown at Riverplace, where everybody can get to them. What really makes DragonSports rock is the level of volunteer commitment. With 8 boats and 2 races each year to run, an undertaking like this could cost a bundle. But when it's time to move a boat or organize a competition, it's all hands on deck. Because there isn't a big staff to support (just the ever-heroic Ayla) a lifetime membership in DragonSports costs $40 and then a team rental for a 22 -person boat is $22 per hour. Individuals can paddle at open practices for -- get this -- $25 per quarter. Yes, $40 up front and $100 per year. Take that to your gym and see if they'll match the price. And even if they do, when did you ever see people leaving spin class with the kind of goofy grins you find on those soggy people trodding up the boat ramp at Riverplace?

From the owner: DragonSports USA is a non-profit dragon boat paddling club located in Portland, Oregon.read more

The recruiting part is hard, but the rest is smooth sailing. The games are fun, usually about an hour in length. The competitors are cool, as you'll get along with most of them during the season. Sportsmanship is in full effect. But my favorite part is, given our massive rainfall and constant cold, all games are played on turf, some at night with the lights turned on. It's like playing on NBC Sunday nights for goodness sakes!

We wanted to find a place to spend time with our children and our grandchildren and this was the right location. We enjoyed a great baseball game and were able to enjoy some ballpark food. The grandstands aren't huge but there was plenty of seating. The adults enjoyed the atmosphere and the grandkids had a blast. I don't think we had gone to a game in a long time. Brought back some great memories from the mariners and when our boys played ball. Great and inexpensive fun for the whole family.

After placing the order, several days passed with no communication and no progress on shipping. Eventually, I spoke with Richard, and the entire experience went downhill from there. The emails and phone calls were extremely unprofessional, and he was rude and dismissive. I'm honestly not sure how this company continues to operate with such poor customer service.
