The seats were comfy (albeit tight when it came to leg room and spacing) and the team staff seemed excited. Rowdy was a fun host with a pleasant vibe and Dusty (the Roadrunner mascot) was hilarious. I visited to support my Gulls as they took on Tucson so I wasn't the most popular dude in the arena but I was still enjoying myself. I got seats in Row D behind the visitors section and had a blast. I saw a diverse group of folks and families. I'm hoping Tucson does more to represent and celebrate this wonderful community! Right now, the themes and celebrations are a little weak/non-existent. Tickets are a bit pricey, it seemed like the higher seats inside Tucson arena would be a better bargain as they had more leg room! I managed to get a deal close to the ice, so I decided to sit in a tight space so I can be closer to my team. There's plenty of concessions and specialty items for hockey fans (tacos, burgers, donuts, acai bowls). Concessions were surprisingly not that bad, taste and price were satisfactory! The Tucson Roadrunners have a smaller fan base, but if they reach out to the diverse community around them and fix their stereo system , they'll be solid!

My review is only on the entrance and security supervisor…read more As I traveled to a Tucson to watch college baseball, I had an odd experience with their supervisor / security officer. As I approached the entrance and got ready to scan my ticket, the supervisor/security officer loudly asked if my bag had been checked. It hadn't so I said so. He went to the girl checking bags and yelled at her she needed to check every bag and I had gotten by her. What? He then set me aside, said the bag couldn't go in (which I understand because it was maybe an inch longer than their policy allowed). I told him I had travel there from LA and my back medication was in the bag, he searched my bag with his hands taking stuff out and then said I couldn't bring it in anyway. What? It was an odd experience, made only more odd by his coming back accusing my young niece of looking at someone's bag which was a cushion. What? No clue where that came from. That was a creepy experience. Now my rant: This poor man's excuse for Paul Blart Mail Cop, the love child of a Travis Tritt and ZZ Top must live a miserable life, such that a little bit of power makes him berate his coworkers and pick on a teenager and woman with a medicine bag. I will take my back pain any day than have to live a day in his pasty skin. Rant over.

They never brought it. On our way to take him to the hospital we saw the server he said he would get ice in a bag again he never did. Three employees were aware of the broken ankle. Two of which we're aware of the time passing without the ice and didn't make an attempt either they just said he'll be back. The server continued to serve tables as we waited there and as we walked out he swiped his hand at us like we were nothing. We laughed because we're kind people and said unfortunately, this is today's society. If we're not immediately benefiting them, they won't give us the time of day. My recommendation hire some adults with kindness and empathy. Because this is a memory of your business that we will never forget and Only continue to tell everybody that mentions your name.

This group does five shows each year at the Berger Center for the Performing Arts, which is a great venue -- good sound, excellent sight lines, plenty of free parking. Not only are the shows top notch, but the music really makes these unique shows so wonderful. Writer and cellist Harry Clark, along with pianist Sanda Schuldmann, and various guest stars, bring new understanding to an individual, a place, and a time. We never miss them. And for good reason!

I was honored to attend an event that not only celebrated the Best 23 Miles of Mexican Food in America, but also supported The Southern Arizona Arts & Cultural Alliance. It was a fun evening of culinary surprises and delectable delights. Some of the highlights included La Estrella Bakery's Mexican pastries, Tito's Vodka celery gimlet & Seis Kitchen's street tacos with pickled onions. Honestly, the star of the show was a spicy Mexican gazpacho (if anyone who attended the event knows the name of the restaurant who served it, please DM me)! The venue, though lacking in cultural flair, provided excellent parking & shuttle service and had a picturesque desert location. It was great that the organizers had the Compost Cats onsite to provide recycling & composting options for the waste! I would recommend this event to anyone who enjoys Mexican food & libations and wants to support this amazing organization.

Despite the fact that the event space seemed gigantic, it was just packed with so many people constantly moving around. The dishes served were very juicy/messy and there were definitely not adequate amounts of seating or tables. People were "reserving" or saving seats with napkins at tables and leaving stuff behind. The guests were complete slobs and there was just food covering any surface where a person could actually set a plate down to eat a bite. The space was so crowded I kept getting run into by people trying to eat or not watching where they were going. The food being served tasted good but was super disappointing. For the cost of a ticket I could wait in line for 5-10 minutes and get one tortilla chip or an extremely tiny (size of my pinky fingernail) piece of flan? Seis was the only vendor that really had it going on: they had their cast iron skillets bubbling on hot rocks at the table and gave out a full size taco that was high-end, demonstrated Mexican cooking and food, and tasted out of this world. There was also a ton of boozy drinks and beer (which I know most people like) but no water and no non-alcoholic drinks (horchata, agua frescas, jamiaca iced tea) that I found. - The shuttles were super fast and impeccably clean to and from the parking lot. - There were so many people helping to guide guests into the event and they were all above and beyond friendly and helpful.
