I had a great experience seeing Phoebe Bridgers live at Barclays Center. The security process this…read morenight involved putting away our phones and other potential recording devices inside of a locked pouch. Considering the additional procedure and how long the line was, it moved relatively quickly. It was also easy to get our phone unlocked at the end of the night. We were seated in section 223. Despite being in the nosebleeds, we had a great view of both stages and could see all of the lighting and visuals from there. The seats are a bit cramped in terms of leg space, but I was comfortable enough for most of the show. I could also hear the artist well from my seat. I'd definitely visit again for another concert.

I was lucky enough to get my large bag in, they do check all the bags, large and small. I recommend bringing less items. I was coming from work so I had a laptop with me, but cleared everything else in the bag and left them in the office, so it's not too bad to go through the securities. They did say not to bring large bags in the emails before the concert, but since i went after work and will be working from home the next day, I didn't want to have to head into the office, so I kind of just tried it and was glad I got through since they weren't too strict that day. I did hear from my friend that her friend had to pay $15 for someone to watch the bag for Ariana's concert before, so I guess it just depends on the concert. Overall, I had a good time and enjoyed the concert (and was super lucky to get a seat upgrade). Great vibes, cool space and nice crowd.

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ GREATTTTT stadium for a New Jersey Jackals baseball game! ++++ One of the last, remaining negro league stadiums in the country and it was beautifullllly renovated in 2023. + 10,000 seat stadium capacity is the perfect capacity for ideal viewing from ANY seat. + 2 concession stands/windows on the 1st base side - one that sells hot food & alcohol and the other sells dessert (ice cream, Italian ices) & snacks (popcorn, funnel cake). ++++ If you buy the ice cream, a small cup is more than enough for 1-2 people as they add 3 huge scoops of any flavors you want. AND, yes, you can add different flavors to your order! + Multiple restrooms reside on the main walkway. + Foul balls are plentiful and the probability of catching a foul/home run ball here are A LOTTT higher than at an MLB game. + Ticket prices to a game are RIDICULOUSLY CHEAP at $5-$10 per ticket and every ticket is general admission meaning you can sit ANYWHERE you want in the stadium. + Private (AND safe) parking garage adjacent to the stadium only charges $10 for parking. + There is a small merch store inside of the stadium that sells shirts, jerseys and other small team souvenirs. THE NOT SO GOOD ----------------------------- - Even though every seat provides great views, there is a running track between the stands and field, so there is a little bit of a distance from the action. - All seats inside are bleachers, so no support for our aging backs. - No outside food or beverages are allowed inside. - Concession stand prices are a bitttt steeper than anticipated ($10 for an average size hot dog, $10 for a hamburger, $12 for a cheeseburger) - The surrounding area, on the way to the stadium, is not the greatest/safest looking. MIXED THOUGHTS ---------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Nada. CONCLUSION -------------------- = We came here to watch a New Jersey Jackals game, on a beautiful Friday evening, as part of a kids' school night, and we couldn't have had a better time! The experience of watching a game here was refreshing and much more intimate than watching a game in an MLB stadium. Definitely a much more family-friendly environment since there is so much space for kids to roam around. Just wish the concession stand prices were a tad lower.

An historic stadium!…read more The stadium has been renovated and much of the physical history seems to be gone. The stadium is comfortable. We saw a Jackals game and had field level seats. The online ticket purchase msp and our seats were completely different. The seats themselves were comfortable and there was a table. The game photographers obstructed our view. There was no screen to protect from foul balls. The staff was helpful and parking was easy.

Went to The Armory in NYC for Nike Nationals and overall the experience was amazing. Watching these…read moreyoung athletes compete at such a high level was really impressive. One of the best parts of the event was how they introduced the elite runners. They turned the lights off in the arena, announced each athlete individually, and they ran out onto the track with sparks shooting up. That whole presentation was fire and really made the moment feel special for the athletes and the crowd. The atmosphere was great and you could feel the excitement in the building. My only complaint is about some of the staff (not all). I had been sitting in a section for over four hours after being told by one worker that it was fine to sit there. Later on, a few other workers came over and told me I had to move. It wasn't even the request that bothered me--it was the way it was delivered. When you're dealing with adults, especially paying guests who've been there for hours, it's all about how you communicate. At one point it felt like they were all teaming up like Voltron instead of just getting a supervisor to clear things up. Situations like that can easily be avoided with better customer service and communication. Needless to say I didn't go anywhere until my daughter ran off the principal. Aside from that situation, the event itself was great. The competition, the energy in the building, and the way they highlight the elite athletes made it a really memorable experience.

The warmup area is way too small, so from the athlete's perspective, that made it very hard to prepare for the race. I ended up running laps outside with my athlete to get her warmed up, which many others were doing, so even that was hard. I get space is limited in NYC, but with 3 floors, they could have done a better job providing space for the athletes to prepare for their race. My runner lived the track itself, it was a great track.

As a soccer fan, super non into baseball person, we had SO much fun at the Yankee Stadium. From the perfect seats to the fan energy, it was such a fun and exciting game even though we lost. I'm still salty about not getting the exclusive rugby Yankees shirt but all in all we had so much fun and can't wait to come to another Yankees game! LETS GO YANKEEES!

I was fortunate enough to FINALLY watch a baseball game at (new) Yankee...even though at this point…read moreit's not so new anymore having been opened in April 2009. I saw a few games at "old" stadium back in the 1980's. I have fond memories of those teams which had stalwarts like Craig Nettles, Willie Randolph, Ron Guidry, Goose Gossage, and of course, Mr. October, Reggie Jackson. TBH, I was very impressed overall with my experience when the Yanks played and subsequently crushed, the Rockies on 9/10/26. Other cities need to pay attention to the transportation options to get here. For the majority of folks, we take the subway to the 161st stop; but there are also buses and I did notice other fans taking ride shares (Uber/Lyft). And for a large urban area, the bag policy is QUITE generous. They allow fans to bring in a bag of 16 inches by 16 inches by 8 inches dimensions. A full list of what's prohibited is listed here: https://www.mlb.com/yankees/ballpark/information/entry But of note, they allow reusable water bottles since there are water filing stations and...wait for it...outside food! Washington Nationals ballpark, by comparison has a very draconian policy since that club wants you to pay $8 for a bottle of water and $15 for a hotdog!!! My brother and I paid $18 for a 24 oz beer - which if you think about it is $9/beer and isn't bad for a MLB ball park. You pay that much for a beer in most major cities. But being back in the house of Babe Ruth, Don Mattingly, Derek Jeter, MarianoRivera, and now Aaron Judge is just a magical experience. Our "cheap" seats of $30 in the upper deck along the first base line, still provided a great vantage point. Our section erupted with Anthony Volpe hit a grand slam in the 7th inning and sent most of the fans exiting the stadium. Every baseball fan at some point in their lives, needs to make a pilgrimage to the Bronx and experience a game at one of the truly great stadiums in the world.

The acoustics…read morewere ok, the scenery was beautiful, the atmosphere was wonderful, and we were lucky enough to have seats in a box, which made the experience even more special. Unfortunately, the alcohol prices were absolutely appalling and really put a damper on the evening. Over $20 for a beer and nearly $30 for a mixed drink is simply outrageous!! You go to a concert to enjoy yourself, and then you're essentially paying astronomical prices just to have a drink. These prices are higher than what you see at Fenway Park or Yankee Stadium, which is hard to justify. This isn't Boston or New York City. The food trucks were just okay. Nothing particularly memorable but the alcohol pricing was by far the biggest disappointment. If the venue needs to generate more revenue, I would much rather see some of that cost reflected honestly in the ticket price upfront than arrive at the venue and be shocked by ridiculously inflated drink prices. At least then, people know what they're paying for before they get there. It's really disappointing because the venue itself has so much going for it. The concert experience, setting, and atmosphere were all excellent. But the extreme drink prices felt incredibly greedy and out of touch with the people who are coming there to enjoy an evening. Because of that, I honestly don't know if I would return. It's a shame that such a great venue could leave such a negative impression over something that seems so unnecessary.

This is a review of the Yale University athletic fields just across Central Avenue from the…read morestadium. During the 1950s, these athletic fields surrounded a complex of married student housing units. The address for this complex was 70 Central Avenue. The houses were quonset huts with corrugated metal roofs. In the summer, we threw punctured water hoses over our roof to keep it wet and to cool down the inside. Each quonset hut was divided in half, for use for two different families. The front door for each half resided at opposite sides of the quonset hut. The family occupying the other half of our quonset was the Anamunthado family from Bermuda. The inside of their home had a bad smell. My photographs show me, my mother, me and my sister at Halloween, one of my parties inside our quonset hut showing my friends from Edgewood Elementary School, and me and my sister inside the quonset hut wearing Davy Crockett hats. The athletic fields to the north were used for football practice, and I enjoyed viewing the large sleds with huge pads, where the pads were used for football players for shoving and pushing. Another athletic field was indoors, and this was an indoor polo field where students could ride horses and play polo. On a couple of occasions, I cut across the athletic field to the north on my way to school, and I crawled under the fence at the northeast corner of the field, but usually I took the sidewalk the entire way to Edgewood School. In one of my photos, you can see a girl (not a relative) wearing an Edgewood School shirt. In 1960, the quonset huts were torn down and we moved to Seattle.
