And the Berglund Performing Arts Theatre in the Center, with 2,150 seats, is one of my favorite places to go for entertainment in this City. Some might call it old, and some might call it small, but to me it's just perfect, since like wine, I feel its gotten better with time, and the community has gotten to know and appreciate it, as well as love it, because the performances played their have enriched their lives. This Holiday Season, as soon as the tickets to the Nutcracker went on sale, I made sure to purchase one ticket, for a front row center seat, to better appreciate the performance, since this year it's the 35th Anniversary of the Nutcracker being performed at the Berglund Center by the Southwest Virginia Ballet. This year it was being presented with a live orchestra, the Virginia's Blue Ridge Orchestra conducted by Dr. Wayne Gallops. And would have new choreography from the new Artistic Director, Laurence Blake. Sometimes when we talk about the Berglund Center, we don't realize that it is more than just the building structure, and we don't give enough credit to the employees and volunteer who play a great role in all of the performances there. They are one of the most welcoming, friendliest, and helpful group of individuals you can think of. This year I also got a VIP tour of the Center and since the day of this performance they were also having the parade downtown, I ended up receiving a personal tour and had the privilege of chatting on the stage with the founder of the Southwest Virginia Ballet as well as with the new Artistic Director of the Ballet. The Arts, in whatever form, is the soul of the people in the community. I highly recommend that you attend the performances here and give the Center and all those groups that perform here throughout the year, your total support. Because they enrich and bring joy to our lives, and by doing so, it gives meaning and a sense of satisfaction to theirs.

There are limited restroom options. Only one bathroom and portables. Ugh. Cash only parking or…read moreprepaid online. There's disabled parking but you have stairs entering the seating areas. The bathroom was in another building. I had a ticket taker checking bags and he stopped me to ask if I had any guns or knives or weapons. He didn't ask anyone else. That was rude. Everyone else inside was super friendly.. the show was great. I managed to get a photo with JoKoy.. the only food are pretzels and popcorn. Eat and go before you come in. The seats themselves were comfy. They need to fix the bathroom situation and be better accessible for disabled patrons.

I recommend avoiding doing Will Call however because the lines back up big time. Also recommend paying for the parking pass as trying to a get an Uber out of there is nearly impossible. Concessions are subpar and high priced. Limited beer selection plus a hard cider or two and no other booze. Food is limited to pizza, burgers, ice cream and other sweet stuff. Bathrooms could be larger but are typical for an arena of this size.

Virginia Tech, Lane Stadium may have the best college game day atmosphere and team entrance in the…read morestate of Virginia but Liberty University, Williams Stadium is by far my favorite stadium in the entire state of Virginia. it only seats about 25,000 people, and it rarely gets full but the technology and renovations that the stadium has received is mind blowing and unbelievable. They always had fireworks and fire effects throughout all of these years but now they added synchronized lights, brand new padded seats on the entire home side with an entire club level and multiple luxury suites, And a general admission turf berm area and private cabanas behind the south end zone where the marching band sits. Their team entrance is very similar to Virginia Tech's In which they would have a celebrity show up on the video board and lead the crowd in a similar chant, but instead of LET'S GO! HOOKIES! It's the letters L on one side of the stadium and U on the other side and after a few times, it will queue the team intro but every year the intros are extremely different then having them play the same intro like VT but that is usually their tradition is having the crowd jump up and down to Enter Sandman. But the intro videos along with the team running out still gives me chills because the music is very cinematic and theatrical rather then being all chaotic and heavy metal like and it's even more theatrical during night games when the lights turn off and our synchronized to the music. The tradition for the flames football is four quarters fury which is our fourth-quarter moment. During this, the lights will turn off during night games and the entire crowd will turn their cell phone flashlights on and waved them around as they sing along to don't stop believing by Journey all while the mascot and cheerleaders T-shirts out of air cannons into the crowd. Every time it never gets old and just seeing a good crowd being able to do that gives me chills. Now the best part of attending a football game is that tickets are extremely affordable and are usually around $35 on their main ticketing website and liberty university students get into the student section for 100% free without the need of them purchasing a ticket in which that is the main reason why I'm majority of the fans are liberty students and the student section is located on the visitor side and utilizes the entire lower bowl section and regardless of how packed the stadium is that entire section is always full of loud and enthusiastic students during every single game and they are very entertaining to watch as they do a lot of crazy stuff like having their mascot crowd surf while he rides an inflatable raft. I honestly think that William Stadium is the most underrated CFB Division 1 stadium in the entire country. And besides, their football team is the best college team in the entire state of Virginia.

When I went to University in Virginia I did come out here once and thought, ooh, this is a big high school stadium. Which is really all it is, with 7,000 seats and not much happening here beyond High School football. First-Hand Experience: Info on my personal visit to this stadium - I don't tend to visit high school stadiums, but I had a friend that went to school here years ago, so I came to see her team play with her. Then very recently I came back just for the sake of memories. It hasn't changed a bit. It's a nice stadium, nothing too amazing. Pretty small. That's what she said. I've been to every cool stadium in the UK & North America, due to my obsession with travel & sport. I've toured America as a musician for 7 or 8 years. In that time, I've seen sports games at, or visited when empty (and usually both), at almost every major stadium in US and Canada. I have pictures of most which I will upload at some point. Also, on future travels, I plan to take new pix, and add more stadia! Watch this space! ***back to regular review*** It has turf and opened in 1985. The Virginia Swarm did play here but I've been swarm to secrecy about that and I've swarm not to even mention it. The Stagg Bowl is hosted here every year, so that's the claim to fame of the stadium.

I have run both my Mile and 800 personal records in my first races on this track. The coaches do an excellent job in managing the facilities through discipline and labor. Furthermore, Richard Mast and others clean the complex exquisitely, never failing to make the place look beautiful. Whether the vibrant red color, or the pictures on the walls, the complex is a sight for any sports fan to see. It is well organized with bathrooms for athletes and competitors, sets of bleachers, a team area and great concessions. The track provides an excellent environment for fans but also the athletes themselves- providing not only a banked hydraulic track, but also a weight room as well as a warmup track for a variety of activities. The Liberty Track and Field team and their fans are very blessed with this amazing facility, and thanks be to those who keep it the beautiful sight that it is.
