What a fun night at the Dash game! Even with the rain delay, it turned out to be a great evening…read morefilled with some seriously good food. Now let's talk about the Cheesy Pig Dog...this thing had no business being THAT good! A hot dog loaded with creamy mac and cheese, with tender pulled pork hiding underneath? I was expecting it to be good, but not "where have you been all my life?" good. Honestly, they should rename it the "Big Back Cheesy Dog." It was worth every bite. The toasted ravioli were another winner--crispy on the outside, cheesy on the inside, and perfect dipped in the marinara. I also grabbed the apple pie empanadas, and even though I forgot to snap a picture, trust me...they disappeared fast for a reason. Delicious! The only hiccup of the night was the funnel cake. It looked like the poor thing had survived the rain delay too. It was a little overcooked, and the powdered sugar looked like it was tossed on in a hurry. The stand was also really dark inside, so I'm guessing visibility wasn't doing anyone any favors. We all have those nights, so I'm giving a little grace there.

I swung by the Winston-Salem Dash store during a recent trip, and they've just introduced The…read moreCarolina Reapers, based on the Carolina-grown peppers, for their 2026 season The Carolina Reaper pepper was born in the Carolinas by Smokin' Ed Currie, owner of PuckerButt Pepper Company. So, the Dash had to get his approval to use the name "Carolina Reapers." Also, the jersey pays tribute to the Scoville scale. They have it posted on their website. It's pretty cool. The staff were delightful and welcoming, so if you're in the area, call and stop in for a visit.

The seating here is great and there is no bad seat in the place. The amenities are pretty much standard for any college arena. They offer grab and go snacks, beer and wine (if you're of age), and small box meals. The prices are fairly reasonable. There are plenty of bathrooms and parking is ample on campus. Overall it's a nice venue.

As an event space, the First Horizon Coliseum is a great space. They have plenty of seating, ample…read morebathrooms and variety of concession stands, and a massive parking lot. My wife and I recently attended the Journey concert at the stadium and had a great time. Getting in and out of the venue was a breeze, security and ticketing were easy to get through. Where the venue fails is the level to which they take advantage of patrons. With people paying $75 for nose bleed seats, having to also pay $30-$40 for parking is absolute robbery. In addition, concession prices are at an all time high with basic, crappy, watered down beers costing $17. I find it very disappointing they take such advantage of people just looking to have a nice night out. It has certainly been a deterrent in going to other events for me, and I'm sure others as well. They need to do better by their patrons, and stop take advantage of the people keeping their lights on

The Gargoyles did score in the last 5 minutes of the game - which means all attendees get a free chick Fil a sandwich in the app. Well, my app never updated to load the freebie before we left the arena. My bonus son's activated in the parking lot and my husband's never came up either. I emailed chick Fil a (never heard back) and the gargoyles (never heard back).

There's ample parking, plenty of space around the ball fields, and accessible amenities. I really appreciate the built in canopies providing shade over the bleachers. Other municipal spaces could take some cues from this complex!

Before COVID, my husband and I played with our kickball team here for several seasons where we won…read morethe championship one year and was runner up in all the other seasons we were in together. The field is well-kept, the games are overseen by the ref, Roger, who is a household name if you're a kickball regular, and you can even buy snacks and drinks at the kiosk they have available there on nights where there are games scheduled. The bathroom is also fairly clean. This sports complex has been a great place to get together for rec nights and I hope that one day, it'll be safe enough for all of us to play together again.

This is for the 2018, 6th annual Burke Street Food Truck Festival…read more Weather sucked but can't put that on the organizers. 70 plus food trucks was the estimate. They stretched from the Burke intersection of 1st Street all the way to 4th Street and Broad. Nice variety of food to choose from. Local craft beer was also available. A lot of the shops on or directly off Burke and 4th were open for business as well, taking advantage of the crowds. Many of the bars on Burke Street were open and offering drink specials. Live music at both ends. I enjoyed the crap out of it despite the weather. Highly recommend and look forward to next year's festival.

Even though it was a cold rainy day, the trucks had some amazing food! It is so hard to choose with…read moreall the great choices! The best thing was that because of the rain the lines were not as long as past years! The fact that all proceeds went to H.O.P.E. Of Winston Salem was icing on the cake. I finally got to try Cousins Lobster and I was not disappointed, both styles (hot & cold) of Lobster rolls were amazing, succulent lobster meat that felt fresh from Maine! I also tried the Peruvian wings & ribs and the spices on it were perfect! Can't wait till next year!

As a graduate of High Point Central High School, I made many visits to the High Point Athletic…read moreComplex as a student and fan of the HPC Black Bison football and soccer teams. Both of my older sisters also went to HPC. One of them was a cheerleader and got injured in a fall during a routine at Simeon Stadium here. I remember my parents and I were eating dinner at the buffet at Quincy's on Westchester Drive when it happened. The High Point Athletic Complex consists of the Ed Price Baseball Field (500-650 seats), eight soccer fields (the biggest one with 600 seats), a track and football field (1,500 seats), a multipurpose practice field, and A.J. Simeon Stadium (10,000-15,000 seats). The latter is home to both the Central and crosstown rival T. Wingate Andrews football teams. The City owns and operates the entire complex, except Simeon Stadium, through its Parks & Rec department. Guilford County Schools owns and operates Simeon Stadium so the football stadium is technically not city property. We made headlines my freshman year at Central because the kicker on our football team was female: Snow Brenner. She went on to play soccer for Duke and is now an orthopedic surgeon. Her younger brother, Wich, was my year (class of 2000) and he was the kicker our senior year when we won the North Carolina 2-A state championship. Central went 15-0 that year (1999). Wich went on to kick for Texas Tech. The year prior to winning the state championship, I recall the disappointing playoff loss we suffered at home to eventual champion Shelby. The year we graduated, the team we beat to win the state championship, Southwest Onslow, won the title. During that time, the PA announcer at Simeon Stadium was Larry Craven. I recognized his voice because he was the news director at 1230 AM WMFR (High Point). Simeon Stadium on Friday nights in the fall was the place to be for high school football. I took one of my cousins from California, who was visiting colleges on the East Coast at the time, to a football game here and she loved it. Parents liked to get tipsy in the parking lot/field too. I'm glad I got to experience it and I still like to tell people how my high school won the state championship in football my senior year. As for HPC soccer games, my friends and I had too much fun, especially with the opposing teams; Lexington City Schools being among them. Shenanigans were had and I'll leave it at that. :) Note: Depending on where you look, the seating capacity numbers for the complex's facilities can vary which is why I have some ranges listed above.

To purchase food from the booths you had to purchase tickets. One ticket was the equivalent of $1. Wrist bands for beer were also $1. There were tons of options for food. BBQ, sandwiches, sausage, wings, spring rolls, tacos, desserts, ice cream, the list goes on. I really liked the variety. It allowed everyone to get something to their liking. We wanted to try a couple different things so my boyfriend and I grabbed a couple different items to share. We got a hickory smoked slider and mac and cheese from Camel City BBQ, spring rolls and wings from Milner's, and a wrap from Bib's. Everything was really good! We brought chairs and a blanket to sit down and were able to find a nice place in the shade to sit down. We stayed long enough to enjoy Bob Margolin's hour long set and have our dinner. There were a lot of people there but it wasn't so overly crowded that you couldn't move through the crowded smoothly and the wait for the food booths wasn't very long at all. Overall it was a great experience.
