The Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena is on the campus of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. The FAU…read moremascot is the owl so the arena is affectionally known as the burrow. The 2,900 seat arena opened in 1984 for division 1 women's basketball and in 1988 it started hosting men's basketball and volleyball games. In 2007 the arena received a 10 million dollar renovation which included a new roof, renovated locker rooms, upgraded exterior, renovated lobby, chair back seating, and a video scoreboard. In the summer of 2008 club suites were added. In November of 2022, Eleanor R. Baldwin made a $7.5 million donation to Florida Atlantic University Athletics. In honor of the gift, the FAU Arena became known as the Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena. I came here for FAU Education Day. School groups were able to come and watch a women's basketball game between FAU and FIU. In between quarters there was Owlsley, the FAU mascot, dancers, cheerleaders, t-shirt giveaways, and a balancing act. The FAU Owls fought hard but were ultimately overcome by FIU by two points. This was a really fun event and the stadium was clean and comfortable. I would definitely come back for future games.

This review is for the Tequila Festival that was held in Mizner Park Amphitheater…read more This was my first time at this Tequila Festival and I must say, I was blown away. The sheer volume of vendors, not just for Tequila and Mezcal, but also rum, beer, chips, salsa, etc. that were present was simply overwhelming, in a good way. It simply was not humanly possible to taste even an ounce of every drink and expect to make it back on two feet. Next year I am going to have a game plan before I get in. But overall, it was an amazing game experience. I just wish I had the same alcohol tolerance as I did in my younger days.

This is division 1 hoops, but there was only about 500 people in the stands on a Saturday afternoon to see the owls rout Jacksonville. Ticket prices are either $12 or $20 and there is no need to buy the pricier seats. Promotions are corny and the owl needs a new costume and there are at least 25 cheerleaders which isn't a bad thing at all. They call it the burrow, but it needs to be louder and there was no students at the game at all. FAU is in a major conference, so it's disappointing that crowd was small, but we enjoyed the game and the venue.

Uncomfortable seats in the majority of the stadium, a poorly trained security staff that…read morearbitrarily enforces the rules and you pay obscene prices to get a decent bucket seat on the west side of the stadium. Food is a hodge podge of bad to average. Even the "club" level on the west side serves crappy cart food. Lines overwhelmed for food. Not run by one of the big food services like Aramark but it should be. They ran out of popcorn between the first and second matches. Security violated the fire codes and let kids block the steps at Section 126. Strictly the amateur hour. Love US Soccer, and I get that the stadium is the right size for the game, but this isn't a quality place. They wouldn't let in people with US soccer bags because they were too big. Bogus.

Students from FAU performed for a good size audience and the event encouraged people to dance right in front of the stage, making the evening very fun and lively. It's located "on the hill" near the visual arts center and the Arts Complex. As you walk in there is a desk for tickets, will call or information. We got our tickets online, so we just showed our QR code at the entrance of the auditorium and got seated. It's a large size theater venue with great acoustics and comfortable seating. We parked for free in Parking Garage 2, which is only a block away.

We bought tickets for a concert at FAU and we arrived at the campus early to stroll around the area…read moreand to get to know this part of Boca, which we had not been before. FAU's main campus in Boca Raton was established on the remnants of a World War II American Army airbase in 1964. Spanning 850 acres, the site is located between Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale. The campus was designated a burrowing owl sanctuary in 1971 by the Audubon Society. The owls find the campus appealing because there are few predators, due to the university's proximity to the Boca Raton Airport, and because the campus was originally cleared of vegetation when operating as an airbase during World War II. Unfortunately we did not see nor hear any owls while we walked around the area after dark. The Boca Raton campus is home to a wide variety of university programs and facilities. These facilities are labs and classrooms, housing for students, a 6,000-gallon shark tank for aquatic research, a movie theater, athletic and recreational facilities, and the student-run record label Hoot/Wisdom Recordings. The campus feels very spread out and very green, a nice place to jog, walk or run on a nice day, if you feel like exercising among the young college kids.

There's always activities for newcomers to feel at home. Games days are also awesome! Parking is the downside. Never anywhere to park when school is in session. I recommend coming early if you don't want to be miles away from campus. There is a shuttle for students to take when parking far, but who wants to have to do that? Check out the food court and gym! Those are my 2 favorite places. Gotta life Chick-fil-A's milkshakes! The bar on campus outside of the dining hall is also a cool place to grab a beer and sometimes there's live bands/entertainment.
