I went for a flag football tournament and there were no signs directing us to the field. The facility was huge so it would have been nice if they provided some directions. We went through their volleyball courts and basketball area until someone told us we could not go through the area and had to go around the whole building to reach the field.   It was advertised that there would be food and beverage vendors and that it would be well equipped, but that was not the case. There was a burrito food truck and shaved iced truck. Where were the vendors? The only ones there were from the flag football tournament selling merchandise.   As a spectator I was hoping for a variety of opinions, especially since they charge a $20 spectator fee in addition to $5 parking. PS it gets quite cold at night so I recommend bring layers!

A relative is a Season-Ticket holder so I was invited to watch what would be my 2nd NBA game ever watched, LOL! Since I'm a Warriors fan, it was a dream come true. Plus a friend flew in from Hawaii just to see the match so we were both in Heaven!! I was so giddy when we arrived and in anticipation of the game. We had Valet parking and went thru a door and downstairs to the upscale & bougie Annexus Social Club. Big screens all over, free drinks and a nice buffet ranging from Sushi, Oysters, Prawns, Lobster, Crab Claws, Pastas, Charcuterie Boards, Desserts, Fruit/Salads, Popcorn & Snack area w/Canned drinks to bring to the arena. I was too excited to eat but did order some Rum & Cokes that I was able to bring to the floor. I was told to leave at the 2-minute mark before the half and before the game was over so we could hit the bathroom, bar, for more food and to get a table if not at the bar. At gametime, I found my seats and was on the 2nd row on the Warriors side(YAY!!!) below the basket! Dream come true and found myself just amazed, watching the team just feet away, saw myself on the Jumbotron and later on my friends and relatives said they saw me on TV during a closeup with the ref & Suns' player, LOL!! Seats were ample and we got free Suns t-shirts which were laid out on our seat-backs. Ambiance, food, experience even the bathrooms were well-kept. Valet parking helped vs. trying to get out of a large parking lot. Stellar experience and Jasmine, our bartender!!

It's so lively and the entertainment is always great. The lighting is perfect and the monitors and screens are visible and clear. The sound and announcements were a bit low, but maybe that varies depending on the location of your seats. The food was tremendous. My party had access to the Annexus Social Club, which if you are able to, it's worth the hype. Just hope to get invited into the RaRa Room one time! My party ubered but from previous experiences, onsite garages and surrounding garage/area parking is available, easy and convenient. Overall, a 10/10 experience and I can't wait to go attend more events and games here in the future!

Chase Field isn't just a ballpark to me. It's a time machine…read more As a kid, I'd sit next to my dad in the cheap seats, glove in hand, hoping a foul ball would find me like destiny. I remember the smell of popcorn, the crack of the bat echoing through the stadium, and the way my dad would explain every play like it was a life lesson disguised as baseball. Those nights were magic -- simple, loud, unforgettable. Now I'm grown, and the roles have shifted. I'm the one buying the tickets, driving us downtown, making sure he's got a cold drink in his hand before first pitch. But the moment we walk into Chase Field, it's like nothing has changed. We're right back to being that father and son who didn't need much -- just a game, a couple seats, and each other. Every visit brings back a flood of memories: the first home run I ever saw, the time we stayed through extra innings even though we had school the next morning, the way he'd nudge me when our favorite player stepped up to the plate. Baseball became our language, our tradition, our anchor. And now, as adults, it means even more. Life gets busy, people get older, but baseball... baseball stays. Chase Field is the place where time slows down and reminds me that some things -- the best things -- don't fade. My dad has one dream left on his baseball bucket list: club seats at a playoff game. The kind of seats where you can feel the energy in your chest, where every pitch feels like history, where you look over at your old man and see the kid he used to be -- and the kid you used to be too. Baseball is something we'll always have together. And Chase Field will always be the place that made that possible.

While you could pay for parking at the venue, I'm not about that life, so I found parking in the residential neighborhood that's close to the Park. It took me about 10-15 minutes to walk over. First off, let's talk about the main purpose of Sloan Park: spring training for the Chicago Cubs. I know spring training is a big deal in Phoenix, but I was impressed with how nice this stadium is. It may not have the history of Wrigley Field but it's a super nice venue. As far as the festival experience, everything was smooth. The grounds were well maintained, getting in and out was relatively easy, and I didn't run into any issues. Exactly what you're looking for when you attend a music festival. I'll have to stop by for a spring training game next time around!

It was about the perfect amount of activity for us as we got to try each of the activities once. There's about 8 active games including a batting game, tennis game, QB throw, field goal kick, boxing, skiing, soccer and more. Most of the games have a scoreboard that will display your score and have the top scores of the all time, weekly and daily. It's fun to see your name up on the scoreboard even when your score may be pretty brutal compared to the all-time greats. The staff was very helpful in checking us in and letting us know how each game works. There's a few games that are pretty simple and others that require some setting up (like getting boots and strapped in for the skiing. I enjoyed the QB throw the most but it looked like the bouncy basketball court was the most popular while we were there. We went on the Friday night and it wasn't very crowded...only have to wait maybe 5 minutes for any activity to open up. The place was pretty clean except I did notice they didn't spray down to clean the batting helmets after each person...that was kind of gross to put on the helmet and feel some sogginess. This may be a fun place for holding a birthday party for kids as they have ice cream, cereal and party rooms overlooking the area. For me it's probably a one and done visit, but we need more places like this where kids and families and have some good indoor activities besides bounce parks.

The vibes in the stadium are electric (especially if you're in the student section). Recently, I've been coming here to watch the ASU women's basketball team stack up wins during this historic season. They currently remain undefeated at home. The stadium is located on Tempe campus a short walk away from a light rail station. There is also tons of parking available nearby. Ingress and egress from the stadium are super quick. Staff is friendly. There are a few options available for concessions and merch available if you need some more ASU swag. The stadium is aging and could use some updates but overall function for the purpose it serves.

Took awhile to get thru once we passed the security check-in and were filtering down a few levels to get to the floor. Of course there were a ton of people and we were packed like sardines but the flow was smooth and people were patient. Once we got to our seats, we got situated and Leon Thomas was already midway as the opening act. There was a slight mixup as one chair, the "30th" seat was missing on our row and we ended up moving down one seat to our left as the group with the seating issue kept trying to figure it out. Some numbers were missing on our seats but mine was visible and we could verify where we were seated. Luckily, our seat neighbors were nice people and accommodating since there seemed to be an extra seat that was empty. When we first arrived, there were some people who sat near our seats that weren't supposed to be there but you know there's always one of those so they moved. It was fun and festive. The woman in front of us with her daughter was recording the whole time as well as the lone guy next to my cousin who was doing the same and singing to EVERY SONG, LOL!! Thankfully we never had to use the bathroom as we went during dinner right before the concert. There were Porta-Pottys on the floor level inside as your bathroom. Also, you couldn't take an actual canned drink inside. Attendants had you put them in a cup unless they weren't paying attention and you had your drink in your see-thru backpack like the guy in front of me walking in. Speaking of, you need to look at bag dimensions and restrictions prior to going to the events. I looked ahead of time and brought a clear, plastic purse within the allowed guidelines/dimensions. Acoustics were great, there was never a glitch, 2 large screens on the left and right of the stage were great for folks seated far away and were a great visual for close ups even for us. Security was effective and checkpoints at the entrances went smoothly. It was a bit crazy getting out of the stadium but we got out. Getting out of the parking lot was another story. It was a long, log-jam and some vehicles were impatient and nearly hitting other vehicles just to get in the line to get out! I think the parking guides and traffic monitors could've done better in an orderly and streamlined fashion. In any case, we had fun and luckily people inside were nice and courteous. This was my 2nd concert at this stadium and am well-pleased with the ambiance. It was just the parking lot situation that needs to be more efficient. Hopefully they worked it out the next evening since Bruno played 2 nights here.
