My wife and my family attended the Iowa versus UNI women's basketball game at the McLeod Center…read morethis past weekend. We had an excellent fan experience here. My wife and I are Iowa season ticket holders, but we both attended UNI. It was awesome to watch the Hawks a little closer than usual in a new, smaller venue. It was also great to see our alma mater try to hang in there with the top-20 ranked Hawks! This game ended up being a blowout, but we all had a great time here on a Sunday afternoon. Only complain is that the soft serve line was soooo long, which meant we are unable to compare the Carver Cone to the McLeod equivalent!

I wanted to give my input on the McLeod Center, a place where I watched hundreds of sporting events…read moreover the years, prior to our move to Florida for 10 years. (We're back in Iowa now, but that's another story.) 1) Smaller venue which allows for GREAT view from any seat. 2) Wide aisle at the top of the bowl. Allows for fans to mingle. 3) Ample snack stands. Sure, when the place is packed, you have to stand in line for your drink, but have you ever been to a huge place like the Amway Center in Orlando? I have, and it's not pleasant, waiting in line. The 1st pic is one I took at a game as we were coming out of the pandemic. Fans were spread out, but the 2nd is my best friend and me at courtside, like we were for all those years before my move to Florida.

Dutton Park Sports Complex has four well maintained fields with a plethora of green space for…read morechairs, blankets, etc. The center of the complex is a play structure for littles. As far as ballfields' hosting tournaments, Dutton had a plethora of parking that could accommodate. There's a basic concession stand at the entrance of the field, along with bathrooms. (As well as a few strategic portapotties throughout the venue.) My biggest qualms (as a frequent ballpark goer) is that Dutton is missing: - Shade. - Non hilly warmup space. - Wind break. - Dry grass -- it appears to live on a wetland. My kiddos' 10U team took second in the tournament there this weekend. I'd go to another tournament at Dutton, no problem.

Their equipment is up-to-date with all current trend workouts. They offer cross-fit courses here also! Now to the meat and potatoes, I only know a couple of indoor basketball courts in the metro area and this is one of them! This is honestly the only reason I come here, for the indoor basketball! I shoot-around in the mornings and with their two full size courts, at most there is someone else using a half court. You pretty much get the court to yourself and practice as much as you'd like. The owner/manager Dave is very friendly and can help you with your fitness goals. The Orange Planet also offers private basketball lessons, just ask about the details. I believe they offer various other courses too, but I don't have any experience with that.
