Happy 100th Birthday Brown University Stadium!…read more Constructed in 1925, this stadium continues to host athletic events against its Ivy League competitors. Though capacity boasts 20,000 people, I would say crowds are typically much more conservative in size. I have attended a healthy handful of Brown University football games at this stadium in recent years. It is truly an enjoyable way to spend a few hours on a crisp New England Fall weekend afternoon with friends. Regarding the stadium facilities, there is a large, trapezoid-shaped concrete structure with metal bleachers on the home team side of the field. The cold can really get into your bones on particularly cool days so I always try to bring a layer to sit on (bonus if it's cushioned!). Restrooms and University food vendors are located underneath/inside the structure. They also bring in lots of port-a-potty's and restroom trailers to supplement. The food is reasonable priced and includes typical stadium food. That said, they also host several, rotating food trucks parked on the away team side. There's a small beer garden as well, though in recent years, they started selling beer throughout the stadium and you can finally enjoy it in the stands versus the beer garden alone. With everything somewhat spread out, there is a bit of walking involved to hit up all the amenities. Honestly, nothing more New England/Rhode Island than taking in an Ivy League football game on a Saturday while snacking on clam cakes and chowder from Blount's Clam Shack food truck and sipping on a Narragansett Brown Bear Pale Ale. The field was recently converted from grass to turf which gives it an updated look and some safety features for the athletes. You can purchase nearby parking if you want to be close by and tailgate up to game time (no re-entry) but I hear there is also ample street parking in the area if you don't mind walking a bit. Small pro-shop available for all your team spirited needs. They host a number of events (e.g. employee appreciation days) to bring a little something different to the games. Fun engagement with the crowds such as on-field mini competitions, t-shirt cannons, cheerleading routines, mini cannon firing, bell tolling, raffle tickets, etc. Having attended a Texas Longhorns game in the last couple months (insane), Brown Stadium offers something vastly different... a cozier, hometown feel that doesn't require a lot of fuss or pre-planning.

The home grandstand is classic several rows of concrete bleachers all rest rooms and concessions are located underneath the grandstand. Since the venue is used only a handful times each year the bathrooms need a major update and the concession stands have very good food, but sometime long lines. Great place to tailgate and ticket prices and prepaid parking in the lots are both very affordable.

I came earlier this year for a Providence bruins game and this week went to Stars on Ice. They get some really great shows!

There was also no security or police detail to help you cross the street, which was surprising after a big show!

Sound is good, facility is clean enough and there are plenty of restrooms. Employees are friendly. Security usually doesn't take too long. As with most venues of this type, food and drinks are overpriced. They do have some some local food choices such as Saugy's hotdogs. There is reasonable priced parking available nearby at the Providence Place Mall. Overall, a good place to catch a game or a concert.

The card was for Saturday night. Perfect! We scratched and it said see a race at the Seekonk Speedway. We are from the west coast and my husband is a car guy so this sounded like an awesome idea. This is a far cry from what we were expecting, but we had such a fun time. The speedway was packed! We had to park way out in the back lot in the grass. Tickets were for a special event trailer bashing or something. We walked around the whole area, grabbed snacks and found some seats by the family of one of the race car drivers. We got to learn all the rules of each different race and be included in the energy. It was so much more fun than I could have bargained for.

This review is for the track only!…read more I was here over the weekend for the Naraganesset 1/2 Marathon. The complex was nice enough with plenty of bathrooms and parking but the track where the half marathon ended definitely needs some work. The track is your standard 1/2 mile loop but it need some serious rehabilitation - as chunks of the track surface were either missing, cracked or covered up with some weird rubber material, all of which made the track very uneven. It is fine if you are planning on using it for jogging or walking, but if you are thinking about doing some serious speed and/or tempo work I would suggest finding another location for your workout.

My oldest son who is 6ft tall said that he was comfortable as well. As large as it is, it seems that it is just cozy enough with any seat in the facility offering a nice view of the floor and stage area. The only negative feedback I'd like to share is the acoustics were awful. It was very difficult to understand each of the speakers. Everyone around me felt the same way when I asked. It would have been helpful to have close captions available. Parking was easy, but leaving afterwards was a nightmare. We were left stuck in our spot for awhile until a good Samaritan finally let us out. Following the long line of cars out took forever. It would have been nice if there were parking attendants directing traffic to alleviate the congestion.

Great food, drinks and amenities like clean restrooms, a sensory room and VIP areas. A bit pricey as expected at just about any stadium these days, on average with tax and tip about 15$ per beer and 25$ for a Reuben sandwich. I wish there were more covered areas especially at the entrance where guests queue to enter the park. There are certain sections that seem to catch more shade because of the layout of the stadium and how the sun gets blocked. We got pretty lucky! Also got lucky on the date choice because the rivalry was awesome. Ct vs Ri. Being born and raised in Ri and now living in Ct it was great just rooting for an awesome match. Indeed it was awesome with a final score of 0-0 Definitely worth visiting!! Cheers

And make no mistake, the intimate confines of the Pizzitola Sports Center on the Brown campus is a classic gym in every sense of the word -- inexpensive tickets, great sightlines and enthusiastic crowds make these games everything I love about old school college sports. What you're watching are actual students playing basketball and not a one and done feeder league for the NBA/WNBA who frankly, couldn't pick their professors out of a line-up. These games are highly enjoyable because sports is the one facet of the Ivy League where the academic overdogs of the Ancient Eight become relatable underdogs as they navigate the almost professional ranks of Division I hoops. And all for less than a movie ticket matinee. It's hard not to love. Five easy stars.
