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.

Attended Nike Indoor Nationals, and the track and viewing experience from our purchased seats was…read moregreat! 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.

While in New York City, it's a bucket list to go to Yankee Stadium and catch a game. It all worked…read moreout because the day we arrived, there was a game against Seattle Mariners, so I checked out seat Geek and bought tickets I scored some really great seats along the third base line near the foul pole. With excellent seats, we needed some excellent food to go along with those seats. I looked up best places to eat at Yankee Stadium and it directed me to Kings Hawaiian Lobster Rolls. There we also got the Pretzel Bun 99 burger, chicken parm sando and Pastrami French fries at Lodel's. For dessert we tried the popular mini chicken ice cream. A real fun first day for starters.

It has a great set up BUT the execution of entering for a concert was REALLY REALLY disorganized. Me and my family sat in SECTION 420 but that was by far one of the best seats ever. You get to see all access of the field and the background of the train passing by. Jay-Z did PHENOMENAL and SOLD OUT!!

I LOVE MSG and how it can transport you to so many magical experiences…read more I've seen Harry Styles here and recently Rosalía. This was the most unforgettable concert I've ever been to and absolutely something I'll always remember and carry with me through her music. It's always a great time at the garden no matter what you're there for, basketball, music, Taylor Swift's wedding, really anything lol. Pro tip: book parking ahead via spot hero of park whiz. We found nearby just walking distance at a fraction of the price.

Bon Jovi was great, but the venue was disappointing. Came to…read moreMadison Square Garden to see Bon Jovi. The concert was fantastic and the crowd was really into it, but the venue itself was surprisingly disorganized. Getting inside was chaotic, and the concession areas were confusing. Our seats were actually pretty cool -- barstool-style seating that almost felt like our own little suite. Unfortunately, a catwalk with additional seating was directly in front of us and obstructed our view when Jon Bon Jovi was speaking to the crowd. The sound was also disappointing. I could hear the music fine, but when Jon was talking between songs, it was difficult to understand him. Not sure if it was the acoustics or speaker placement. Overall, Bon Jovi was awesome, but Madison Square Garden left a lot to be desired.

Great Bridgeport Amphitheater! Open air summer concerts good vendors what more could you want?…read moreWell... it gets a 4 out of 5 for the 308 section acoustics - so hard to hear in that section.

On 8/5/26 I attended the Bonamassa show at the amphitheater. I purchased the tickets by clicking…read moreon the buy tickets button on the amphitheater site, and was redirected to Ticketmaster, and I purchased two tickets. On Ticketmaster it clearly states that cameras with detachable lenses are not permitted. So I brought a camera with a non detachable lens. Security, after inspecting the camera, allowed me to enter with it. However in the venue, during the performance, a very polite usher told me the camera was not permitted. I showed him the website, and he contacted a supervisor at the venue. Later other employees of the venue who did not identify themselves rudely and forcefully told me I could not use the camera, and said that the Ticketmaster website is not connected to the venue ( obviously not true) . A deeper dive into the venue site reveals conflicting information. At one point it says. NO CAMERAS PERMITTED. In another spot it says that personal cameras are ok but professional equipment is not permitted and that cameras with detachable lenses are not permitted. My camera did not have a detachable lens.. They wanted to take the camera away from me and check it somewhere, which I refused to allow. Well ultimately I agreed not to use the camera, and from that point forward I did not. But the experience was confusing and unpleasant. The website presents conflicting information. I would like to speak directly with someone at management level but no contact phone number is listed.
