The parking is plentiful & there are many hotels & restaurants nearby. The concession stand wasn't open, so we had to go out for snacks and food, which was not an issue. There are snack and drink machines available & they accept credit cards for your convenience. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I didn't have any issues at all. I would definitely come back.

This facility is impressive since it can accommodate a myriad of different sports and is spacious enough to house a lot of people. Coming from Norfolk, the drive is a little long but that's neither here nor there. The Sportsplex is easy to find and there is plenty of parking. Upon entering I was surprised to see the facility came with some TV's, snack machines and a concession stand. In addition, I was more surprised by the size of the facility. I didn't realize it was so big, so when I walked over to Pavilion #1 I was in awe. This place could double for a major training facility, and there was so much seating. It makes me wish I was still playing basketball regularly so maybe I could play here. JV

Came here for one show in November 2009 and one in June 2010…read more Both were great. The building is big and has a distinct shape and structure to it. I used to also visit the fair/amusement park they used to have in the parking lot many years back. Until something nonsensical and idiotic happened that rendered it permanently discontinued. The lights on the outside change colors during December. It's a really cool venue.

We decided to grab tickets to the "We Them Ones" Comedy Tour for Saturday night. The show started…read moreat 8pm but we arrived around 7:30pm. The parking lot across the street was being patrolled by police and they were also guiding us where to park, which was helpful. Even though there was a large crowd of people all walking in at the same time, getting into the Coliseum was very easy. Once we walked through the detector and had our tickets scanned, we were able to walk right inside to our seats. There were some lines for drinks and snacks but since we ate previously, we didn't grab anything. We purchased Floor Seats (Row 30) but unfortunately, the seats were the foldable, metal kind and were very small. By the time everyone got to their seat, it felt like we were sitting on top of each other, they were also quite uncomfortable. The show was great though! Mike Epps was the headliner but Mojo Brooks, Chico Bean, Karlous Miller and DC Young Fly were some of the comedians that also performed as well. We definitely had some good laughs. Leaving from the parking lot was difficult because everyone was trying to leave at the same time. It would've been nice if they had someone outside patrolling the parking lots after the show as well. It took us quite some time to actually get to the main road. Outside of that, we had a great time and we'd definitely return.

This is a truly special place. If you love stock car racing, you'll love Langley Speedway. It's a…read moregreat old short track (60+ years), that's in great shape with modern amenities. The on-track competition is amazing too. The highlight is the late model stock cars, Langley has one of the most competitive fields in the country. Nice mix of former national champs and up and coming stars. Some of the best have cut their teeth here, including Denny Hamlin, Jimmie Johnson, Chase Elliott, and so many more. The tickets are really affordable, and so are the concessions. The concession stand's quality is excellent as well. Don't miss the "redneck fries". The track is a great place to bring the kids too. There's a playground, kids club, and discounted tickets. There's no better place for a Saturday night out in Hampton!

If the arena is not filled by half-time, spectators can move closer to the bottom (if seats are available).

There was plenty of parking next to the arena. I give Hampton University Convocation Center a 3.5 rating.

Review of Hampton University - Returning Parent Perspective…read more My student is entering her second year at Hampton University. I have been pleased with the educational department, the faculty, and the overall campus environment. However, like many HBCUs, the campus is in dire need of repairs--air conditioning, elevators, and other essential facilities are outdated or frequently out of service. The most frustrating and disappointing aspect of our experience has been the Financial Aid Office. It is, without a doubt, one of the least responsive offices I've encountered at any college. Calls go unanswered, counselors fail to return messages, and form requests are ignored. For the past six weeks, I have been trying--unsuccessfully--to speak with a financial aid counselor. Two weeks ago, after contacting the President's Office, I was assured someone would follow up, but that never happened. Living over four hours away makes in-person visits impractical. With my student returning to campus in just one week--still facing financial uncertainty--I feel as though we are right back where we started last year. This is my second child to attend college, and as an HBCU graduate myself, I had high hopes. Unfortunately, my experience leads me to caution other parents: save yourself the stress and the $45,000 per year--consider a PWI where administrative support is more reliable.

I am a huge fan of the Universoul Circus! I believe myself and my family have attended since 2012…read more This year the location was outside of the Hampton Convention Center than its usual location, outside of Military Circle Mall (The Galleria). In my opinion, the vibe was a bit different this time around. I am usually hyped about all the acts from start to finish. My favorite act, which returned this year, the motorcyclists, daredevils ... they amaze me every single time! Only three cyclists appeared this year, but the act was still super thrilling! A few new acts made an appearance this year... some were good while others were just OK. Nevertheless, this circus is pretty much the only well known circus that is still in existence. The Universoul Circus comes to the area faithfully. I recommend you check it out next year or in an area nearby. They will usually run the circus for 5 to 7 days. And this year, the show at Hampton started July 31st and ended August 4th. The prices can range from $10 to $30... keep your eyes peeled for special offers going forward. Parking... plenty. Restrooms are located outside the big top. And yes, the circus is under a huge tent... outside... under the BIG TOP it's air conditioned and super comfy. There is almost not a bad seat, but I do recommend section G. A great family outing if you love a good time. Have fun and enjoy life :)

I mentioned a refund that was supposed to be disbursed a month ago 4x in this email and there was no mention of it in their reply. I could go on and on and on. Are the professors great? Absolutely!
