First time at Kaplan Arena and darn shocked that a listing for them was never created considering…read morethis is not a newer building. The arena sits on the campus of William & Mary in Williamsburg, VA. The road name of Ukrops Way is newer GPS did not work, but Google Maps did. There is a decent size parking lot to one side of the arena. Around the perimeter is street parking. Not sure where all would park if they filled the place up. Kaplan can seat 8,300 and expand to 11,300 when necessary. It was built in 1971 at a cost of 5.3 million and that's over 32 million in today's dollars. The building was formerly known as William & Mary Hall. However the arena proper was known as Kaplan. In 2016 the entire building was renamed the Kaplan Arena to honor former alumni Jane and Jim Kaplan. I attended a Women's basketball game tonight. The men's team also plays here and I assume volleyball but am not sure of any other sport matches. The building has many more uses than just for the university. It has been used for all types of community events from dog shows to car shows. From religious crusades by Billy Graham to presidential stumps. The largest concert was The Police in 1982 with over 13,000 in attendance. It also hosted the 9th G7 Summit in 1983. Some really cool history for sure. The lower level is where you will find the athletic department, coaching offices, a seminar room, medical suite and a gymnastics workout. What a fine building Kaplan Arena is. The modern amenities of newer arenas may be missing, but it continues to serve both the university and community well.

Kaplan has some great concerts and sporting events. You have to dig a bit on the college website…read moreto find out when they are, advertising is pretty poor. But there've been great acts here over the years: Nirvana, Fleetwood Mac, Grateful Dead, Bruce, Dave Matthews, and more have been here. Wish they could get some more high rate acts here but mostly what the kids are listening too today, feathers logo missing.

My social league team made the bocce finals last month and they were held in City Stadium…read more It was my first visit; otherwise I had only driven by or seen it in the distance. Also I'm not a soccer fan so the chances of my future attendance at a Kickers game are slim to none. I do know some larger-scale events are held here, though. The stadium could definitely use a touch of paint. It's clearly been around for a while. But the field was nice and made for good bocce ball throwing. The stands were fine too. I didn't use the restrooms or buy any concessions. I'd return in the future if a festival or event sounds fun.

This was my first visit to the Kicker's stadium so I wasn't sure what to expect. Here are my…read morethoughts: Pros: Lots of loyal fans and plenty of space for kids to play. Tons of food options and vendors which is great. The stadium overall is run down, but it's a part of the Richmond experience to me, so no big deal there. Cons: The speaker system is TERRIBLE and needs replacing... it's very loud and muffled, almost like I'm watching an episode of Charlie Brown. This was the most annoying part of the game. Tickets a $12 a piece, for anyone over the age of 3. This seems like a bit much to me - GA tickets at the Squirrels stadium are $7 a piece, I feel like it should be more comparable there. Also, I think kids under 10 shouldn't be $12 either, maybe more like $8 or just less. I can't imagine paying more per ticket than what we paid for this game. Overall it was a good game although Kickers lost 1-0. I would come back, even though I'm not a diehard soccer fan!

Terrible and shameful. 1. The games are fixed for the home…read moreteam to win. How do a group of adults get together to take advantage of YOUTH sports?! 2. This is a sports complex, why is all the food fried at the concessions stand? And you do not allow people to come inside with outside food that is healthy. 3. The registration is horrific. Not automated. Just one person handing hundreds of kids that is required to ask for more verification than the government needs for a passport. 4. The place needs a make over. The AHU's in the back of the building is absolutely filthy pushing poor air into the sport complex. I can look past a lot of these issues, but to add injury to insult, the refs are FIXED to ensure the home team wins, but any means necessary. YOU CAN DO BETTER! SHAME!

The parking is plentiful & there are many hotels & restaurants nearby. The concession stand wasn't open, so we had to go out for snacks and food, which was not an issue. There are snack and drink machines available & they accept credit cards for your convenience. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I didn't have any issues at all. I would definitely come back.

If you want to experience the excitement of college basketball in an intimate, state-of-the-art…read morearena, you'll love the Robins Center. It underwent a massive renovation in late 2013, including brand new flooring, comfortable seats, and (at the time) the largest screens of any college basketball arena in the country. It seats just over 7,200 fans, including a roaring student section, and season tickets are incredibly affordable and available to anyone. The facility is always clean and staff is very friendly and helpful. There are a number of food vendors in addition to typical concessions, such as Sweet Frog frozen yogurt, fresh kettle corn, coffee, healthy options, and starting this season: beer and wine. The arena is wheelchair accessible and has elevators, ramps, and accessible seating sections.

Attended the Wake Forest vs. Richmond basketball game in late December. I grew up in Richmond but…read morehadn't been to the Robins center since it was renovated. It's an impressive building from the outside and blends in fairly well with the campus. The football stadium next door has better aesthetics. Entrance and egress were easy. The concourse is well lit with plenty of vending options. However when the lines get long it is hard to get through the crowds. Bathrooms were easy to find and I never had to wait to use one. My seats were in the upper rows and it was very dark up there. The renovations are nice and the large screens in the corners are great. It got plenty loud many times during the game which is a testament to having a smaller coliseum. Overall, a very good venue.
