This place just bleeds sports. Red Auerbach (Boston Celtics Fame) coached an NBA team in this place…read more1949-1950, The Tri-City Blackhawks, who moved to Milwaukee and became the Milwaukee Bucks. Babe Ruth played baseball on Browning Field which is right next door to the field house. Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man Randy Savage and numerous other pro wrestlers entertained 7,500 hundred fans here on multiple occasions. That's not to mention the CBA had a team play on this floor for many years. Also this has been home to Moline High School's Basketball, Football, Wrestling, and Track teams since the 1920's. When you walk into this place it takes your breath away like walking into a movie scene from Hoosiers, to walk out on the floor and close your eyes and imagine this arena filled with thousands of fans cheering just unbelievable, it is a must stop for any sports fan going through this area.

It is so nice to have a large venue that can bring in the concerts and I've attended many at this…read morevenue. But the one thing this place needs to get better at is the drink service. The length of time we spend waiting in line to purchase a drink is RIDICULOUS. Last night for Snoop Dogg I spent OVER 45 minutes in line for a beer. Unacceptable. And all the people waiting in line for a beverage creates massive congestion in the concourse.

I drove 3 hours for a concert here and will not be doing that again. It's nice and clean but so…read moresmall. Security has no experience and any little thing will hold up the lines for a long time. Since it's so small, it's hard to get around without bump into others and spilling drinks. The bar staff is probably the worst part. You will be waiting for 15-30 minutes in line at a bar for $20 drinks that are nothing but soda (2 oz liquor 15 oz soda), if they get that right. I ordered a vodka tonic that the bartender asked about 4 times and each time it was wrong! You are guaranteed to miss 20-30 minutes of any performance if you decide to leave to get a drink. Seat is like being on a small plane, extremely tight and narrow. If you move suddenly you are bound to hit the people next to you. If you stand up, you'll be blocking everyone. And being seated will make your knees and back cramp. The only reason they get 2 stars is due to cleanliness of the building, $15 parking and the view from our seats which is due to the size. Otherwise expect Chicago prices and attitude.

I like the option of using a card to pay the entrance fee. They have a great concession stand with many healthy options.

When to a gun show here over the weekend, not the best expo for a gun shop but it works, they've…read morehad quite a few gun shows here along with some other stuff, but I've only been in this expo for gun shows, they have a lot of dealers from the area and is usually $6 for an adult 13 and up and $1 for 12 and under. They have a concession stand and they do sell beer, so if you want you can buy beer, guns, and ammo along with knifes and other misc things they have here. There is a gun safe vendor there he (the vendor) has some nice safes and they are made right here in Iowa. If you see a that there is going to be a gun show here then I suggests you go check it out! Gun shows are great for people watching and then after you do that you should be ready to buy one or two for yourself.

The Kernels hadn't really been on our radar as something to do until recently and ever since Matt…read morehad been nagging me to go to a game. On our first attempt, we attended a work outing in the mezzanine area that got rained out after the 1st inning. Super disappointing. (Normally if the game is rained out, ticket holders are able to return for the rescheduled game. But they took our tickets when we entered the mezzanine.) This area has a great view from right field and groups can enjoy complimentary food and beverage throughout the game. Luckily, the other day I won a set of tickets from work and it turned out to be a beautiful evening so we were able to enjoy the entire game. The stadium is super clean and comfortable. Walking around the concessions area seems a little crowded but sitting never seems as full. (Typical minor leagues game.) There's plenty of free parking around the stadium, even after the game has started, and getting out isn't an absolute nightmare especially because the crowds clear out as the game goes on. Concession stand pricing is inflated as usual, but they seem to offer specials on a regular basis. Tickets are super affordable. All around it's a great option for cheap, wholesome fun!

This place rocks. The Kernels are a single A affiliate of MN Twins. The parking lot is spacious and…read morefree. The stadium had a grassy area to sit and reserved seating. The concessions were alright. The place is shaped like a real baseball stadium and not the rectangle shaped CHS field in St Paul. This is literally the only ballpark where they will give you samples of Iowa craft beer on tap. Super friendly and prices are adequate. No outfield seating. Can't wait to return. We came from Twin Cities, MN area about 4 hours away. Upon leaving I snapped the photo, it was fitting as it was memorial weekend.
