Didn't know what to expect for my first monster jam but it was fairly pleasant - minus how cramp…read morethe seats were and I'm not even that tall. Like/ super chill stadium unlike the states. No clear bags. People brought bag, food. Toys! Pretty chill/ laid back. Got a very very last minute tickets- 200 zone but I was very close to the field! I like that. Row 2 though, so maybe that's why. Food, drinks and toys are insane for lines and prices. And no coffee ‍ Not bad for my first jam- and in Van city!!!

Embarrassing and awful customer service I experienced at the Vancouver Goldeneyes game…read more I was the last person in line and I overheard someone tell my cashier "after you finish with the last customer, go on your break". Since I was the last person/only person left in his line, it was very clear that they meant to help me and then go on break. However, he packed an order in a bag for another customer and put the "closed" sign directly in front of me and walked away. I immediately questioned him and he told me to go to another line and someone will help me there. Expecting me to either budge in front of other customers or line up at the back of another line. It was extremely embarrassing, infuriating, and hurtful. No other cashier or server came to help me. Other customers were also surprised at what happened. I eventually spoke to one other cashier who ended up helping me immediately. But what a horrible and humiliating experience. Other customers came up to me afterwards to let me know that what happened was absolutely awful, which is very kind of them but it does not change my experience.

I know that most people avoided Mercer Stadium for running - the track was so old - it was first…read moreestablished in 1958. New West hasn't been known as a great place to run outdoors because you'll have to tackle all those insanely steep hills! It has been like years that I've seen an actual person running on the streets in New West for fitness purposes, and not getting chased by some crazies. There is some great news because Mercer Stadium has gone through over 2 million dollars in upgrades with a brand new blue and gold coloured running track. This is the second track in Canada with this colour pattern. University of Windsor was the first to use this colour pattern for their track. It's a Polytan PUR track which means that it's great for wet and dry conditions and there's a nice springy feel to it. If you're not into running on a track, there is an artificial turf in the centre of the stadium which is perfect for soccer. Unlike Swangard Stadium in Burnaby, Mercer Stadium is opened for 24 hours a day, so get after it!

It looks like quality of the products sold has gone done over the years, as there are now many places hawking cheapo nightmarket-type stuff such as cell phone covers. But they still have classics, such as Sweepas and Shamwows. Just make sure this is the last stop when you hit up PNE, as you don't want to lug around a bunch of stuff all day.

If you've ever had a kid in Bellingham public schools, attended a local college soccer match, or…read morejust needed to find a track to run around for a little exercise there's no doubt you've been to Civic Stadium. Located in the city-owned athletic complex that includes Joe Martin Stadium, Arne Hanna Aquatic Center, and the Sportsplex this basic-but-functional concrete monstrosity features a huge parking lot and two stadium-style covered seating areas (the larger of which is generally reserved for the home team fans). I've been to any number of events here: cross country, track & field, football, soccer, heck even a food truck festival. It's no fancy big-city stadium, and the concessions are pretty limited, but it serves a great purpose in our community.

Free parking is available nearby. I came here for the Bubble Tea festival on July 23, 2022. They basically fenced off the entire stadium for the event. This stadium is used for events such as outdoor concerts, games and festivals. The track and field has lots of seating under cover. It is located in a convenient location that is for sure.

This is a beautiful track. It is well maintained and is open to the public at certain times. I…read morenever knew that. I always thought it was reserved for events and pro sports like when the Whitecaps used to play here. Sure beats running at some beaten up tracks at some schools. They do also hold events/festivals here as well, but not sure what their schedule is now with covid.

Came to Thunderbird Stadium for a concert. Here are a few notes for anyone thinking of attending a…read moreconcert here: 1) Bring hearing protection, it is EXTREMELY loud. I was wearing hearing protection while also being up in the seated area pretty far from the stage and I still thought it was loud. 2) General Admission tickets mean you are in the standing area right in front of the stage, so it's nice if you like to get right up close to the artists. 3) If you're in the seated areas, it's alright but just be aware that the performers are going to be quite small and even with camera zoom you won't be able to see them in any sort of detail. Overall pretty standard for a stadium venue. I did appreciate they had enough concession stands open that the lines were not long at all for food or alcohol. Definitely not enough washrooms though - those lines were suuuper long. Plus I'm very sure anyone not wearing hearing protection came out of the event with some hearing damage though.

While my first visit to Thunderbird Stadium was not to see the infamous UBC football team, the…read moreaptly named, Thunderbirds, I was able to get a better view of the stadium while attending a concert of Jack Johnson this past summer. By that I mean we were sitting right on the field! This stadium has been used as a concert venue many times in the past for Radiohead and Metallica amongst others, and it is perfect for holding up to 3,500 people. During a concert they tend to set up the stage not opposite the stands, so sitting in the stands is usually only preferred if you are here for a football game or you want to stay out of the rain! Outside of the stadium they sold beer at the beer tent set-up and you weren't able to bring booze indoors. They did sell mini-donuts though! What a better way to appease the masses than with mini-donuts right?! All in all, it was a fantastic venue for a concert!

Nice stadium where they were kind to help us get our tickets for the game. The Americans had see through bags to get through security. The Canadians just had to keep their bags small.

so i finally made it to rogers arena for a vancouver canucks vs tampa bay lightning game, and this…read morefelt like peak vancouver energy. getting in was smoother than expected, security looked intense, but the line moved quickly and we were inside in minutes. after a full day of rain, stepping into a packed arena was an instant mood shift. you could feel it right away. we got in right at puck drop and the seats filled up fast. what makes it, though, is the game day experience. the tshirt toss had people off their seats, the jumbotron reactions were actually entertaining (not just filler), and hearing a full arena chant in unison "go canucks go" never gets old. even the intermission pee wee game had the entire crowd invested, which says a lot. pro tip: skip the $50 parking headache. take the vancouver skytrain and get off at stadium-chinatown, it's right there. bonus move is stopping by the downtown costco wholesale beforehand for the famous $1.50 polish dog and drink combo. inside prices are no joke, i paid $31 for popcorn and a drink (yes, both refillable, but still a moment). not gonna lie, the game itself was not great. canucks lost 6 to 2. but honestly, the crowd kept the energy up the whole time, and it stayed super family friendly. also worth mentioning: the 50/50 jackpot hit $186,230, so someone walked out with $93,115. casually life changing. walking back out into the rain with the post game crowd, it didn't even feel like a loss heavy night. between the atmosphere, the traditions, and how easy the whole experience was to navigate, this is one of those venues that delivers even when the team doesn't. would i come back? absolutely, just maybe not for the parking or the concession prices.

I have to warn people that the concession at the Richmond Ice Centre really should be banned!…read more Not sure if she's the owner, she wears bright pink lipstick, never really smiles and have bad people skills! This is my story, I asked for hot water to top off my drank tea (I purchased it there of course). She not only seem unpleased at my request for adding hot water but used a mug that looked dirty to fill the hot water then she poured it into my paper cup. This mug appear to have her bright pink lipstick stain inside the mug, and when called her out if it was lipstick she said, "no it's coffee stain at the bottom of the cup"! Double gross! Lipstick and coffee stains! I felt sick left my tea on the counter! The health inspection should look into their health and safety standards! Really she can't give me hot water in my own cup, but she chooses to use her own dirty *** cup to transfer hot water!!!!!! Their health standards are gross and neglect any customer service. In fact she's passive aggressive in my opinion. If she was a decent human being she would have apologized and give me a brand new tea! Instead she argued that it's a coffee stain and that's supposed to be okay! Nope not okay! This is during the Richmond Boys tournament Dec 2024. I'm banning this concession and so should you!
