I went to the JMU Convocation Center to see my brother college basketball game. The Convocation…read moreCenter is where James Madison University men's basketball team play home games. It's plenty of parking around the arena for guest. Player and regular will- call is located in the far left entrance of the building (if you're coming for general parking). Most seats have a good view of the main court. It's a smaller arena, so the crowd can be on top of you. If you're tall, leg room is a bit tight in some seats near the bottom. The JMU Convocation Center has typical arena food (hot dogs, sodas, popcorn, etc). I enjoyed watching basketball at the JMU Convocation Center.

OK, what is there not to love about Bridgeforth Stadium at James Madison University??!…read more First, it's at JMU. So, BOOM. Done. It's located right by the JMU bookstore in the heart of campus and you can't miss it when driving through the main entrance. Loads of parking is nearby, but it's all for tailgating and you have to have a permit/ticket for that. You need to prepare to park and walk at one of the main garages or further away and ride a shuttle. So prep in advance and wear comfy shoes! I remember when I attended college here we didn't have the large addition with concessions and box seats and the large updated fancy scoreboard. It was a very different experience. Now, this stadium can hold nearly 25,000 people with a large scoreboard, tons of seating and concessions stands, bathrooms, box seats, season ticket holders, etc. It's a fun experience now and they have halftime games, giveaways and contests, and fun stuff to involve the audience during game play with games and videos on the large scoreboard screen. Be warned, if you came for a game you absolutely cannot bring in a purse or backpack. You have to have a small, see-through bag of a certain size (check the website for more details if needed) or you're going to be turned away to either throw it away before entering, or take it back to your car which could be very far away. So prep in advance. JMU likes to tailgate so get here early to shop, wander around, revel in the team spirit, and find your seats. It's a long trek to the 103,203 sections and that area when you enter and you cannot leave once you're inside and come back so you might need to allow 20+ minutes to get to your seats before kickoff if you don't want to miss anything. They give away purple and gold streamers, throw items into the crowds like candy and t-shirts, and usually give out free purple JMU memorabilia. Prices at concession are fair and they have nice selections and keepsake cups for both soda and warm drinks like coffee and chocolate milk. They have burgers, hot dogs, pretzels, cheese, nachos, and they had a lobster roll special for $4.50 last weekend. Prepare for the purple and gold takeover as far as the eye can see! I LOVE IT!

10.23.2025. Harrisonburg, VA. My husband and I enjoyed strolling through the Edith J. Arboretum, a…read morefour-season public garden located on James Madison University's East Campus. The 125 acre urban arboretum "provides all students and community members with an outdoor classroom, a forested haven that is home to a rich oak-hickory habitat of flora and fauna, flowering gardens, and native wildflowers." The arboretum is open from dawn to dusk 365 days a year, and has free admission. (That said, I encourage you to support the EJC by becoming a member). We enjoyed walking on the 0.9 easy loop trail, passing through or near the family garden, the oak-hickory forest, fern valley, the pond, and more. Being late October, there weren't any flowering plants, but it didn't matter. There are restrooms, family restrooms, a water fountain, picnic area, a few benches, and an information kiosk. There are also three free parking areas on University Blvd, all with handicap parking spaces. We parked in the largest R5 lot. The garden and paths are well-maintained and enjoyed by a variety of users -- students, people walking their leased dogs, and older folks getting in some gentle exercise. I had only two disappointments -- (1) I so enjoyed the arboretum that I wish it were bigger! (2) can hear some traffic noise, but I guess you'd have to expect that in an urban garden. We look forward to returning when next in Harrisonburg!

While the streambed running through it was dry, it had the insect population of a wetland and I struggled to stop and be still at any point during my exploration. The site has two small parking lots and a variety of attractions, including extensive play facilities for the pre-college crowd. Most of the other attendees, however, appeared older than college students. There were certainly some interesting sights to be seen, and no charge to get in.

I like the process but not the wine…read more We swung by to visit this vineyard and the surrounding lavender farm (which I get to review separately). What I liked was being able to taste a flight of one-ounce of everything they have on hand (to taste). The pours were still on the generous side, and my wife and I comfortably shared one flight. It's good we shared because we weren't thrilled with any of the wines offered. On the plus side, they are only minutes away from a Buc-ee's! It's a chance to at least pick up some jerky that might pair well with some of their lavender-leaning wines. If this were a standalone vineyard, the rating might have been a bit lower. However, the restfulness of the surrounding farm made for an OK experience that we have no desire to repeat.
