Back in the day, if I was looking for a decent sporting goods store, I always ventured to "Big 5",…read more"The Sports Authority", and even "Walmart". Jump forward to the present day and "DICK'S Sporting Goods" takes the crown for the biggest and most complete selection of anything sports-related. This is a nationwide company that has been in operation since 1948 and since then (as of 2026), they have over 700 stores that are currently operating. The location I am focusing on is at the Stanford Crossing shopping center in Roseville, CA. Located directly off of Stanford Ranch Rd and tucked in between Fairway Dr and Five Star Blvd, this location has been around since mid-2017. What makes this idea is the close proximity to other major retailers as well as the very large parking lot. During the dozen or so times that I have been inside here, I have never had an issue finding a parking spot, even during peak holiday season and busy weekend days. Upon entering, you will notice that the store layout is massive. Soon, you will see how this place has just about everything you might need when it comes to sporting goods. The cash registers/customer service area and the lines for checkout are to the immediate right. Navigating around isn't too difficult as many of the aisles give you the feeling as if you are not bumping into anyone. I also wanted to add that there are two restrooms towards the very rear left part of the store. On any given day, there are dozens upon dozens of employees/staff everywhere; usually they are dressed in a green shirt with trousers and athletic shoes. To put things into perspective, they carry a huge assortment of gear pertaining to all types of sports; baseball, football, basketball, golf, hockey, lacrosse, pickleball, tennis, soccer, softball, volleyball, and much more. You will also find a nice variety of outdoor and camping travel essentials that include tents, sleeping bags, outerwear, and ski equipment. Additionally, their fitness/cardio selection is vast with a ton of treadmills, ellipticals, and everything to get your home gym going. I've purchased a mountain bike here that has been great so far. And let me tell you about their clothing line & shoes; here you will find a wide inventory of men's/women's/kids clothes apparel, sports jerseys, and all types of shoes. During my most recent visit, I needed a comfortable, long-lasting pair of reliable walking shoes. After narrowing down my selection, I finally settled with the Brooks "Glycerin 22" series that provided the support and comfort I was looking for. Also keep in mind for the deep discounts this place offers. These shoes were selling for $164.99 but there was an online Dick's Sporting Goods coupon that were selling these for $114.99. Even better, with every purchase over $100.00, I received a $20.00 of coupon which brought my total to $94.99 + tax. Not bad for a pair of quality walking shoes. All in all, "Dick's Sporting Goods" is a very good above average retailer with an absolutely large variety of options. The only negative thing I would say is that their customer service isn't top notch as the employees that worked in the shoe area weren't the most knowledgeable in answering my questions. Not a big deal since I heavily researched these shoes prior to coming here. I think it all depends on which employee works where. For instance, my bike purchase (back in 2020) was amazing but this experience was just average. Aside from minor things like that, I am still going to give the Roseville Dick's Sporting Goods a respectable four star rating.

After reading some fine print, we realized we weren't able to complete the process Online, so we ventured out to Dick's to buy ourselves a treadmill. When we got to the store, Joey found us looking over the floor model and got us a code so we could try it out. After both my wife and I tinkered with it, running and walking, we told Joey we wanted one. And we also wanted it delivered and setup in our home (part of the promotion). There was a little confusion regarding the inventory, but after some networking around the store along with the store's manager, James, it was determined that the model we wanted was not readily available in store. So Joey got on the phone with the Folsom store and got us squared away with the promotion we wanted along with delivery and setup. Yes we had to travel over to the Folsom store, but Joey and James made the arrangements for us very easy--and James gave us a $25 Gift Card for the waiting and travel we had to go through to get our machine. We will be returning. Big thanks to Joey and James for the exemplary service! Now... Time to get some miles in...

Picking up a pair of Lugz hiking shoes on sale Monday evening I was served by a very professional and personable group of employees. The young lady at the check-out was very helpful and an early call to her to verify she had the shoes available went smoothly and quickly. She pulled the shoes from stock and had them waiting for me at the front counter. Perfect service. Beautiful modern store that is fully stocked in every department with numerous sale items. Plenty of parking available. I will definitely be returning to this location for future purchases. Big 5 has the best pricing and selection of men and women's outdoor recreation shoes and always have the size I need. No need to ever consider going anywhere else. Thanks for another enjoyable visit to Big 5.

It's a great spot for quick, last-minute needs. One downside is the shoe section. Especially during sports season, it feels like they're always out of the sizes we need. Cleats are the hardest to find, which is a bummer because their prices are usually better than other stores. Customer service could be better too. Every time we go in, the employees are hanging out at the front chatting and don't really offer help.

Reminisced about our first time walking into a running store 15-20 years ago and being fitted for proper shoes. Glad this place is close by for new runners too!

Convenient location, a few steps away from Marco's Pizza and Icing on the Cupcake, where we were actually headed, lol. Prices seem like normal retail prices, so you're not saving any money but at least you might get it faster than ordering online. Found out they have a running group on Sundays that does a few miles together. Might be fun to check them out!

The young lady at the front of the store immediately welcomed us in and asked if we needed help. She was pleasant and efficient with getting the fishing license for my husband. We walked around the store for a quick browse. Most of the other employees were busy helping other customers at that moment. Can't really speak on the inventory or the prices, compared to Big 5 or Walmart, but at least we know what to expect from Turner's Outdoorsman. Check them out as an alternative to the big box stores.
