This was honestly such a fun place to catch a game. I went on a Thursday night to watch the Toronto…read moreRaptors and the whole experience was just amazing from start to finish, especially because they got the win! The arena itself is right in the heart of downtown, so the whole area around it already feels super alive before you even walk in. There's people everywhere, jerseys, food spots nearby, and just that pre-game energy that makes it so fun. Inside, it was packed but in a good way, like full energy, loud, exciting, everyone already hyped before tip-off. I had seats in the 300 level and honestly I don't even think that's a bad thing at all. The view from up there is actually really solid, you can see the whole court properly and the energy from the crowd feels even more spread out and intense. Service-wise, everything was pretty organized. It was busy, so lines and movement around the concourse can get a bit crowded at times, but nothing unexpected for a Raptors game night. Once you're settled in your seat though, it's smooth and you can just focus on the game. Overall, I'd 100% recommend going at least once if you're in Toronto. It's not just about basketball, it's the full experience: the crowd, the energy, the location, and just being part of that atmosphere. Even from the 300s, it still feels like a really good seat. Definitely one of those experiences that's way more fun in person than on TV.

I was in downtown Toronto for a work conference. After finishing set-up for the conference earlier…read morethan expected the day before it started, a few coworkers and I decided to get last minute tickets to see the Blue Jays vs Twins game on 4/11. I was a little torn on who I should cheer for because I was born in Toronto and went to Blue Jays games as a kid but I have also been a Minnesotan for 2 decades. It was great being at the game - fun atmosphere and good food & drinks selection. Glad that we decided to get last minute tickets to go to the game and thankful that we were staying at a hotel right down the street from Roger Centre for my work trip.

Some of the new food selection is really great including the bulgogi fries. However, some of the food is questionable, especially the French toast uncrustable; I was really disappointed. For almost $9 you'll get one uncrustable, with melted whip cream and one strawberry. There is no different between a French toast uncrustable and a regular uncrustable.

The Varsity Stadium is a sorry excuse for the flagship venue for UofT pride. It's hardly worth the…read more3 star's I'm giving it and the 2 biggest reason for those 3 stars is the fact that the turf here is amazing for sports and that during the winter, the dome is well utilized for all sorts of sports from golf, cricket, soccer etc. When the new turf and dome were introduced (around 2007) it was rated the best field of that nature in Toronto. Maybe in Canada as well but I'm not confident enough to aver that. As for the the spectator experience, sure the seats (bleachers) are only a few years old and well maintained but it's nothing close to the full fledged stadiums you see to the south or even in most other Canadian cities and that itself almost tells you that the University has no real expectations for the student population to come out in in full force supporting the Blues. The ice rink while better in comparison to the football stadium is still not impressive and looks like it could do with some renovations as well including the teams changing/locker rooms. An upside to the stadium's layout is that half of it is open to public viewing from Devonshire and as a result you can just happen to catch a game or meet for free (although if you are a student it's free either way). A few years ago they hosted some meet here and Usain Bolt was a participant and sure enough he bought in a huge gathering of supporters that lined the entire fence. Something I've yet to see any University team accomplish. So if you have a friend in the football or cheer leading squad, it's worth the trip to go and see them or even if you are a fan of football, but as for visiting the location for itself, there's nothing too impressive to see here.

I love this little stadium for no reasons other than 1) it…read moreis fun to break into 2) it is fun to pass by and see the kiddies do their track and field 3) it is generally nicely manicured 4) sits at a pretty convenient spot where I can see it from my my building atop and get to enjoy cheering in the middle of the day. There ain't nothing wrong with some good happy people exercising and other happy people cheering them on. It makes me happy.

Fun family splurge, if a bit hokey. :)…read more - Parking was confusing - Bummed that the exterior wasn't shaped like a castle, like other locations (not a big deal, but you should know) - The two entrance lines should be clearly marked before the doors open for VIP/non-VIP. The red mat on the floor isn't obvious. - Frozen drinks at the lobby bar are surprisingly good/well-spiked (you can also get them alcohol-free for the kids) - Souvenir clothing items are decently priced - Be sure to see the horses when you first walk in. They're taken out of their stalls pretty quickly after you're inside. - Museum of torture got to be too much for me about 2/3 of the way through (I can be sensitive to graphic stuff, and made the mistake of reading all the placards). Had to abandon. - Condition of the restrooms (specifically the floors) was unforgivable. This was true of all restrooms, multiple times through the evening. - Couldn't follow the story line during the performance, but it didn't really matter. :) - Performers were excellent and COMMITTED, and our server (Kat) was wonderful. - Food was way better than expected! - Combat impressed even my 12 & 13 year olds. Sparks! Splinters! Awesome. - If you can't be silly, don't come. Let loose. Cheer! Boo! - I find dressage (making horses dance and bow) really unnatural and a bit upsetting. It feels forced and looks uncomfortable to me, so I never like those parts - and there are a lot. Just be aware. (And know that you may have to explain why they're whipping a horse to your young child.) - Overall we had an awesome time. We hooted and hollered and made memories. Thanks, Medieval Times!

First time coming here…read more Show was about 2 hours total. First hour or so was a bit boring and the second half was more entertaining with the knights fighting each other. It was all staged but still felt fun and good to do once. The food is included in the show and you shouldn't expect much. You get tomato soup, garlic bread, half chicken, potato, corn, dessert, and a drink. The chicken itself was pretty under-seasoned and very dry. The soup and bread were decent. We got tea at the end and it tasted like water. Overall it's a fun show to do and see once but don't expect good food

An old sports stadium that is owned by the city. I know that they open it up a lot for public use…read more(Ultimate Frisbee, fitness competitions, etc...), but I came as a spectator for a Wolfpack game. I can't speak to the pitch quality, locker rooms, etc... It is indeed quite old. If I was paying good money for a game here, I may rate it lower, but since I didn't, I could appreciate it for what it is. It's nice that there's no assigned seating, so you can go wherever you want - not that there's really a bad seat anyway since it's not terribly large. The Wolfpack were clever in using the open area behind each end zone for vendor stalls - which are almost all booze vendors. It's also in a great location. It may not speak to the quality of the venue itself, but location matters for the experience too. It's barely a couple blocks from Exhibition GO, right off King for the frequent streetcar, and they also set up a makeshift station for the Toronto bikeshare program. I also saw a couple parking lots with posted rates that looked reasonable and still had spots leading right up to game time. Lots of good pubs nearby too.

Meh. The stadium isn't very impressive. It reminds me of a high school stadium. Very basic concrete…read morebuilding with metal benches in the bleachers. The washrooms need a renovation. Stalls & toilets looking dated. There were only 4 stalls in the ladies room. For all the people that attend games at the stadium there should be more washrooms. There's always a lineup for the ladies. Food stand is pretty basic too. Fries, hot dogs, etc. Stadium food is usually expensive & not the greatest options. This stadium isn't any exception. I would love to see a stadium which does things differently. Is it possible to have a classy stadium? I think so. There must be one somewhere in the world. Anyway the stadium is blah but watching the rugby game was actually fun. Would like to see the games in an updated stadium as this one needs a reno & is looking very dated.

There's not a lot to this stadium. The shops aren't very well developed, and the food options are…read morelimited. There is a water fountain near the entrance: the trick is to twist the spout around 180 degrees so you can fill your water bottle. But, put it back so you don't just have water splashing onto the floor by those not expecting that. The one thing that you want to pay attention to is the side you sit on. If there's an afternoon game, and you're on the east side... well, the sun sets in the west, so that sun is directly on you. And it gets hot. Very very hot. Also, make sure you have a clear bag if you want to take anything in... It's not the worst stadium, and when you're in your seats it looks great, but it doesn't have a lot to offer.

This review marks my 3,000th one. Crazy, huh?…read more I wanted to review something either in Toronto or the GTA to mark this milestone. It's BMO Field. As with many of my reviews, I do have a different spin. Here's mine with this stadium. BMO Field is where the old Exhibition Stadium used to be. BMO Field was established in 2007. It is the home of the Toronto Argonauts (Canadian Football League) and Toronto FC (Football (soccer) Club). I have seen all Argos games at SkyDome or Rogers Centre, depending on when the name change occurred. I have yet to see a Toronto FC game. My spin? Although BMO Field isn't a concert venue, the first and only concert that was held here was Genesis on September 7, 2007. I was there. It holds a special place in my heart. It was a fantastic concert. I don't know why it hasn't hosted more concerts. I was comfortable at this concert. Concession stands were everywhere. The prices were a bit expensive back then, but you expect that to be the case at any major entertainment event. The washrooms were clean and accessible. These days, I'm normally around the area to park. I remember seeing Erasure at Queen Elizabeth Theatre a few years back, which is across from BMO Field. I parked near gate 4. It was affordable and a fairly close walk over to the theatre on a soggy, rainy evening. I haven't seen any CFL games recently. I should, as I miss seeing all CFL action in a stadium. I'll need to give it a try at BMO Field in the upcoming Argos season. (127)
