It was our first time attending and we were impressed with the various US military groups and from other countries like Canada, France, South Korean Army (Hoshi! ), to name a few. The actual arena had seats that were comfortable enough. Just a little confusing with the numbering/arrangement of the seats. Restrooms were clean. We Ubered to the place so we really don't know about the parking situation.

The bartenders were nice and they came out quickly. We had a couple drinks each and shared the wings. They also had a buffet option. There are plenty of vendors and other choices to eat. We had a nice time. All of the attendants were nice. The arena attendance was low. We got a cowbell and a first game certificate. Thanks Vet Tix for the tickets. It was expensive not like minor league baseball games used to be.

I enjoy coming to this facility for my sons track events. It is always clean and well maintained. I…read moreuse to come here as a kid for my brother's wrestling tournaments. The renovations they have done have made this place so beautiful. The restrooms could be better maintained but it's understandable when it's packed with people for multiple events throughout one weekend. The restrooms are never dirty, but toilet tissue and hand-soap have been scarce at times. They offer a concession area, which is pretty pricey. Today I purchased a Starbucks premade cold coffee and it was $7.50 before tax. And a small hot coffee which was $4.00. I could have gone to Starbucks and had an actual treat. The food items are also priced pretty high, for simple things, like chicken tenders. I do appreciate the staff here, very friendly, informative and welcoming. You are able to purchase tickets online which makes entry easy, they also allow you to purchase entry tickets at the ticket windows, outside. Overall this is a very well run facility. I've patronized a few other sportsplex for my children's sporting events and this one is by far my favorite.

It's well located with ample parking and nice facilities! Today, the SportsPlex held the Super Heroes/Villains Run while multiple events, such as field hockey, continued with tons of spectators! Such a clean, well-organized facility with many amenities!

Full disclosure. I'm not a huge baseball fan and I've been to a Tides game before, but this time…read morearound was really fun! I believe it was due to the level of experience I had. If you have the opportunity to see a Tides game and have access to the picnic area that's the way to go! I had tickets via a corporate event and we had seats in section 117 which is down in front closer to 3rd base, but also include access to the picnic area which had a better view and included up to an hour and a half duration of food. The food served is dependent on the menu choice the organizer paid. We had menu 1 which consisted of hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, potato salad, cookies and nonalcoholic beverages. Staff replenished some of the food, but the chips and potato salad and cookies went fast! Their hamburgers and hot dogs are really tasty too! I enjoyed the spread! I think another menu option may include fried chicken, pulled pork bbq, coleslaw and potato salad as well but we didn't have that menu. You can choose to return to your seats to watch the game or remain in the picnic area. I felt the picnic area was a more pleasant experience and had a better view of the field. Most of the area is covered, with a 1/4 of the seating uncovered closer to the field. They have bar counter top seating closest to the field and picnic tables and some four tops. The set up for food was efficient and has both side access for two lines. They have two food buffet areas, At the time there was another company that had an event as well and had the other buffet with chicken. Drinks are served at the picnic concession counter and the women that manned it were friendly and efficient! They also have bathrooms in the picnic area which was nice! The games have fun little silly mini events to break up the monotony between innings. We happened to have great weather that day ! There was a light breeze, wasn't too hot nor humid. I recommend bringing sunglasses and or hat to help keep the sun at bay. You can look on their website regarding parking options. Lot C is the only lot you can pre- pay online for and parking for LOT C is available up until first hit at 6:30pm as long as the lot doesn't sell out prior. ($7), the other lots are first come first serve and is credit card only. I believe the park is cashless pay. Other parking options are riding the light rail or parking at MacArthur mall for free. If you have game tickets light rail rides are free 2 hours before game time.

The Band was all we really heard until they told the band to stop so we could sing with them. Love this group!!

Let me say we are BIG concert goers and visit many venues in Northern Virginia, Richmond Area and…read morethe Tidewater Area. With that said - this is a really decent venue. First the venue itself. After attending several events here in the past couple years, we have never seen an issue before. Staff and security have always been pleasant and helpful. The cleanliness of the grounds, facility and even the restrooms have always been kept well. Food & beverage prices are not the worst for a venue. Now as for my rating. I will easily give this location a 5 star rating. But I would be wrong if I didn't mention a real issue that occurred on May 3, 2024 - General Parking. Was just awful. As you can see from the picture you can see the entrance to the area my small Hyundai had to jump over. Someone put a tiny board to I guess "help" cars get up over the curb. Needless to say it was worthless. Now there is construction all over the area and I'm guess this is why they are making this area General Parking. Since I don't recall ever having an issue until now. So I didn't ding the facility on this, but my guess is the city of Portsmouth is mostly responsible for this issue. But it is a real problem. Also recommend that if you're going to a show during this early 2024 season that you see if parking is going to be a problem. I don't know how long this is going to last. Parking in this area quickly filled up - causing folks to double and triple park. So go early to get a spot and be prepared to tailgate for a little bit at the end of the night so you can move your vehicle out.

My Alma mater... go Hornets!…read more This stadium has been in existence for at least 25 years... This stadium is the home field for the Deep Creek High School Football Team. The stadium is on the property of Deep Creek Middle School which is within walking distance from the High School. The home seating area is a good size, however the vistors side, bleachers... it's OK, but it does need improvement. Speaking of improvement... a new stadium is needed! Hopefully the City has plans in the making. Nevertheless, this stadium has separate restrooms for men and women... there is also one concession area. There is one main entrance into the stadium, but if you are not too familiar with the stadium, keep in mind there are two other entrances as well... on the side of the school where the buses park and through a nearby neighborhood. Although the stadium serves it's purpose... check it out if you enjoy high school sports. Have fun and enjoy life :)

Aside from the small parking lot, this stadium is quite nice…read more I did not visit the concession stands, but I peeked at them and it appears the concessions area is built into the stands, like a hideaway almost. I have never seen this before and I guess it works. This seems like a good idea if rain comes, folk do not stand in line in the rain for their treats. Nevertheless, there is plenty seating on both sides. The field looks maintained, but I think it's time for a facelift. The track part of the field looks severely worn and needs a bit of TLC. However, I attended this field for a high school football game and the field served its purpose. We were made aware of the limited parking so we pulled up about 90 minutes before kickoff and had no problems parking in the lot. Overall, this is a legit stadium for high schoolers to play. I cannot imagine a college game held here, I think it's too small. Have fun and enjoy life :)

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.
