The club that provides the best care in the State.... The club that once you become a part of you become a forever member. WHAT IS THE CLUB YOU ASK? The University of Iowa Children's Hospital in Iowa City, Iowa In 2018, my daughter was diagnosed with Kawasaki disease and was admitted immediately.... And it was hard, it was hard, it was hard... Savannah our nurse told me my daughter took her medicine well and I thought she was crazy....but it was a boy in the elevator that planted the seed about where to go for stuffies and my daughter pivoted... After we got a stuffie my daughter agreed to go to the 12th floor. The 12 floor had different air up there like #23.... The 12 floor restored my faith with my daughter Adrian (named after #94) and her cousin Madisen showed me family IS the best medicine... So every Hawkeye wave I remember the struggle; not only this hospital visit, but my childhood, #32, Jon Mai, my Ss who think I'm the most beautiful teacher, anyone who has walked where I've walked my whole life, the Entire ICCSD community, the JaguArs Softball Program, and my principal Mr. Andy Gahan at Coralville Central who is my why....honorable mention for those that suit up for Grandma & Moms...I see you....and remember I am a part of the club... The club no one wants admittance to... The club that provides the best care in the state.... The club that once you become a part of you become a forever member. Thank you Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital for always welcoming me back to the house that the WHOLE community built with your help, It's ok to ask for help....I even signed the beam...I see you gymnasts.... I not only wave to the Children's Hospital, but I wave to the hospital that saved me, and try to wave to anyone because you may be the reason someone stays...

I was able to find a parking spot in a garage, paid a load of cash, and was nearly squashed trying to navigate into the structure. Even with people in neon vests on the street directing traffic, it was chaotic. I can't figure out why they'd put an arena this size in a tiny footprint in a crowded city. The seats were tiny, uncomfortable, and the steps to them so steep that older folks were really struggling to climb them. The acoustics were good. I could clearly hear the speakers. Next time, I'll take an Uber and get there extra early.

Unfortunately we missed all but the last song for Queens Of The Stone Age because of another event we had that afternoon. The sound was amazing and I could hear every word clearly which is rare for an outdoor concert. The negative is the agonizingly slow exit.

For one, food and drink have stepped up a lot. My cousin and I came to see the White Sox destroy the Oakland A's 14-1. A lopsided win for sure but a win nonetheless. A third of the time we walked the grounds, drank, people watched and checked out the shops. We walked past one of the lots, can't remember if it was lot G, but plenty of folks were there spending the entire day tailgating. It's pretty common and if you are able to land a spot in the lot, it's probably one of the best things you can do. We drove in but parked at the ITT lot because all the nearby lots close to 35th street dogs required prepaid coupon. The walk from ITT isin't that bad. It's like 5 minutes. We came on a clear night where they had the fireworks show post-game. I had a nice time and visiting Rate Field to watch the Sox play is one for the summer bucket list in Chicago.

I arrived without a ticket 10-minutes before a game and was able to catch "Thunderstruck" as the game was beginning. I found the staff members very friendly and affable. Finding our seats was easy and even though we sat in the 500s our view was good. Bathrooms are ridiculously clean for a ballpark. There is easy water refilling stations throughout the concourse which made our visit on a hot day easy. The food options are tremendous as well. I can see why RF has a great reputation for food. The actual field and board are also great. I am really happy I visited with my kid. I only wish I could visit more.

I've been a Chicago house fan since high school -- growing up in the city, it was the soundtrack to weekends, late-night drives, and house parties. Being at the pavilion, surrounded by that familiar beat, took me right back. The energy was unreal -- dancing on the lawn under the skyline, hearing the bass echo off that beautiful metal architecture. The crowd was full of longtime fans and new ones, all moving together like we'd done this a hundred times before. I love my city!

Second we sat down all you smell is weed and cigarettes so I went to Usher and as if this is a policy that you can smoke in here I was told no. I was told that they could not do any thing about it . But you was warning about my small purse In the first instance, I had intended to attend the Mike Epps show, but my friend's purse was excessively large. Secondly, the air was heavily scented with marijuana and cigarettes. Consequently, I approached Usher, assuming that smoking was permitted within the venue. However, I was informed that this was not the case and that the establishment had no authority to address the issue. Despite your previous warning regarding my small purse, I was not given any assistance. I give 1 star just to post

Sat in section 106 row B seat 9 for reference. It's a fairly…read moresmall arena which is nice because you get a good view from almost any seat you choose. The downside? Drink prices here are through the roof (which is to be expected but still kinda annoying). I paid $36 for 2 cans of modelos. Most sections had no security so there were many people who kept seat hoping. It was mainly an issue for people who had front row seats since people would sneak into your spot if you left to use the restroom, to the bar, etc.. they'd move out of your spot once you returned but it's still annoying to have to repetitively do that if you need to leave for a short period of time. Overall it's not a bad arena.

As expected, this arena is pretty pricey for food and drink (estimate $50 for 2 large drink cans)…read morebut I like the ease of getting in and out of this location. For comparison sake, I really liked the intimacy, vibe and look of nearby Rosemont Theatre for a smaller concert. There are plenty of local restaurants to dine at before a show. However, be prepared to wait in long restaurant and traffic lines to get in and park or exit a concert. Patience will definitely be needed. If you are using shared ride or getting picked up, walk to nearby Target or Ross Stores and get dropped off or picked up there instead. Although it was a Summer night, I am glad I opted for gym shoes vs. sandals, as the much used bathrooms had wet, disgusting floors and the Ladies room layout is very strange. There are two hallways of stalls but you have to walk back towards to stalls to use the hand dryers. Definitely not a well designed layout. But closed toe shoes are a must, in my opinion. For a concert (we saw Styx and Chicago) you can hear and see pretty well from section 101, Row H. Stairs can be challenging to navigate without a railing but ushers help light the stairs if it is dark. I have bad knees so I took the stairs very slow, so as not to trip...or spill my expensive drink either!

The parking was easy and the traffic flow was smooth. The stadium itself isn't fancy but has great sight lines and for the games with good crowds, a fun atmosphere and generally very loud when the Fire is winning. The food is okay, not a lot of options and a little pricey. We did enjoy the brisket nachos. A good BBQ flavor and well portioned.
