Me and my family came down to watch the Niagara Ice Dogs lose hard to the Mississauga Steelheads…read moreand the experience was a so-so! The seats felt like sitting on crappy benches and are definitely not like the ones from the bigger and better arena in places like Toronto. Also, the Ice Dogs cheerleaders are cute, but there were not much of them and they didn't show their stomachs. Overall, the arena is okay but it isn't much!

This sports centre in Kings Square shopping mall has been open for about two months. It is located…read moreon the second floor of the shopping centre. There is lots of parking, both underground and outside the premises. The basketball court looks very new with shiny floors, high ceilings and is well lit. I didn't notice any paint fumes while there that others have complained about. Half court ($80 per hour) and full court ($120 per hour) rentals are available with advanced booking. Drop in use of the basketball courts ($15 per person) is from 3-10pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. They have membership pricing for pickleball and table tennis. Early bird discount prices ($5) for pickleball from 8am to 10am, with prices ranging from $10-$15 the rest of the day.

The young owner is very rude and very mean. I regret i had bought an annual card for table tennis.read more

I attended an Ateez Concert during their first tour in Canada in 2022. They happened to be my first…read moreconcert. It was really loud and really fun. I would be suggesting wearing some ear plugs. It was called FirstOntario Center at the time. The arena was a little out of the way for me as I don't normally go to Hamilton. I usually go to Toronto for concerts and other events (for context). Everything was well organized. Entering and finding my seat was fine. Lines were long which typical for concerts and large events.

My best friend gave me tickets to see the Toronto Rock host the Georgia Swarm at this venue…read moretonight. I took my sweetie who has never ever watched a lacrosse game. It was an uneventful QEW drive to/from Hamilton, which is unusual. I lucked out on street parking because someone pulled out of a spot 100 metres from the stadium. I happened to be there to add a loonie to the meter since there was time remaining and paid parking ends at 6 p.m. Like all sporting venues during an event, hordes of fans, a beehive of activity from lineups for washrooms, alcohol, snacks or memorabilia, to just trying to find your seats. It's all good! Too bad lady luck didn't smile for the home team this evening. Attendance logged in at 8,841. Note to all: no outside drinks or food allowed upon entry.

Stopped by Rogers Centre for a Toronto Blue Jays game and wow what a fun baseball experience. My…read morepartner and I have a goal of visiting every MLB stadium. When you arrive parking appears to be pretty difficult. We ended up staying downtown and just walking over to the baseball stadium. When we walked in we watched the national anthem from the lower level and sat in different sections/walked around throughout the game. We started on the upper level which is really pretty with the roof open and seeing all of the surrounding buildings with the CN tower overhead. We then migrated around the outfield which had more of a party vibe with a section with a dj, a bar, and just a fun crowd. On the lower level you could definitely see the game much better. The CN tower would also change colors throughout the game which was fun to watch. This is definitely a one of a kind baseball game experience and we had a blast. Definitely a must stop if you are Toronto while a Blue Jays game is going on.

Take me out to the ballgame…read more Rogers Centre is an iconic part of the Toronto skyline beside the CN Tower. Better known as SkyDome, this retractable roof stadium plays host to many sporting, music and public events. It is still primarily home to Toronto Blue Jays baseball. While built over 30 years ago, it's still impressive to see the retractable roof in action providing for outdoor games during pleasant weather. The cavernous stadium has had a few refreshes over the years. It is a short walk from Union Station. Ticket prices have steadily increased in recent years with the team's success, stadium investment and fair weather fans. In recent years, they have renovated the outfield district including bars on every level, and a flight deck open to everyone (outside of reserved functions). The outfield configuration now features uneven walls for a unique home feel. The seats behind the dugout has the best premium experience including bars beneath the playing surface in the TD Lounge. The festivities at Jr Jays Sundays are always well put-together including batting & pitching, arcades, face painting, balloons, mini-golf, sports cards, caricature and even running the bases post game. There's even inflatables outside before the game to start the festivities. Skip it or hit it? It's a place we'd still go catch a game but fewer occasions now as ticket prices aren't always commensurate with the on field product.

I visited Dave Andreychuk Arena for game 3 of the Hamilton Bengals opening round playoff series…read moreagainst Owen Sound. As a box lacrosse arena, it gets the job done, but it would be nice if the rink had turf. Otherwise, it was a good venue, the sightlines were good and concessions were good as well with reasonable prices. Admission ($10) was a good price for an evening of entertainment, and it was an enjoyable way to spend the evening. I look forward to coming back for another game next season.

SIAL Canada, a food expo, was held 4/29-5/1 at the Enercare Centre…read more The venue is well lit and has many conference rooms, ample restrooms, and waste receptacles with recycling sections. Several grab and go food and beverage kiosks were also available. If you are ever an exhibitor, check which Hall your program is in. Our ride app driver dropped us off at D, and we had a trek with our exhibit materials to Hall B! However, that area is great if you are using wheelchairs or have other needs. There is an elevator to the exhibit hall floors from the parking and street areas. This was a nice venue and the staff are all personable and professional!

I caught a Brantford 99ers game here one night when I was passing through to run the Hamilton…read moreMarathon. The facility is top-notch and one of the best that I've seen in southern Ontario. The main rink has lots of chair-back seating and is more than enough for the crowds that minor hockey typically draws. The production of the game itself was pretty good, not unlike any junior or lower-level minor hockey game. The price of admission ($10) is more than fair for an evening of entertainment. There were concessions available outside in the large lobby area, but I didn't test anything out this time. Parking is plentiful and there are several entrances on all sides of the building. If you park at the wrong entrance for the program you're attending, you could be in for a long walk. All in all, a gem of a facility that Brantford should be proud of. If you're in need of something to do, a 99ers game is definitely worth your while.

I would love it if we had the occasion to go back! A very nice place.
