The architecture is stunning with its fortress-like facade and palm-lined entrance. Whether it's game day or a casual visit, the energy here is electric. You can practically hear the war chant echoing off the brick walls. A must-visit for any college football fan--especially if you bleed garnet and gold!

The only thing is the concession stands need a big update and some national franchises. With NFL and Baseball stadiums being so phenomenal with the attractions and eatery. I was underwhelmed with the concessions' stand. The Student Union has better selections than the stadium. Also, I don't remember seeing any TVs back there either which is another disappointment in 2024. FSU needs to get that together

One of the best ways to get out and spend a Saturday night in Tallahassee at a RollerGirls bout!…read more If you show up early enough before the matches, you may just get the chat to meet some of the players and hear more about the sport of roller derby! It's a fast paced sport with lots of unique rules, so it was wonderful to have the knowledgeable explanations from the team and refs! I've been coming to matches off and on for years and I love that I recently got the opportunity to introduce so many friends to roller derby and, hopefully, make some new fans of the team and sport! Once things get rolling, all the players are bolting by and it's a lot to take it! I definitely needed to watch at least a couple matches before I got the hang of the rules and scoring. It's a hard hitting sport and definitely not for the faint of heart! But it's so fun to watch and I now look forward to the next bout each month! Plus, if you're not ready to go home after, there's always a social, where you can hang out with both teams and chat more about the game. Shout out to the ref Eve for teaching us so much about the sport after the last match! Just trust me and try it out! Matches here are so much fun and I know you'll become a fan in no time!

Great location with tons of parking in empty lots nearby for the huge Tallahassee Rollergirls…read moreturnouts! ***Definitely bring a lawn chair if you'd like a seat and a few dollars to buy ducks for Chuck a Duck.*** I was excited to see that the venue was able to sell beer, sodas, and snacks for the roller derby events - and they even went beyond my expectations by having the Mac Shack food truck right outside the front door for the convenience of the hungry derby fans! As for the downside, the whole place kinda smells like a locker room, and as a certified non-athlete myself, that caught me off my guard a bit, but it's not a deal breaker and I'll definitely come back for more roller derby events. Based on the signage inside, it looks like this venue is also home to a kid's hockey league too. The speakers were pretty loud, but the expansive venue made it nearly impossible to understand the announcer for 90% of the event - especially while the game was in play - which is sad because the announcer, in his awesome sequined blazer, looked like a fun guy who'd be exciting to listen to. It also took someone telling me where the scoreboard was, which, for the derby meets, was set up on on a projector screen at the far end of the rink. It's a big place with a lot going on, so I didn't spot it on my own right away. For newish roller derby fans like myself, it's definitely best to check out the rules on the Women's Flat Track Derby Association site so you have an idea of what's going on. I'm glad the roller derby gals have such a sweet venue for their games and I look forward to getting back to this location again!

When I went, it was to go see Fluffy live, and well, while traffic did not compare to big city life, for this small city, it was quite a lot. We had floor seats all the way at the back, so we could see the show rather close up, but nevertheless, we could have gotten better seats. At any rate, the show went off without a hitch. They even had a cart for some drinks, some of which we bought and partook in. I don't remember what I ordered, but it wasn't half bad. Would return to this venue no issue.

It's a gorgeous ballpark with excellent shade coverage during those hot, dog days of summer. And as of 2016, beer is now sold on premise! What's better than cold beer, a hot dog and the crack (or ping) of the bat? You guessed it, nada! The Noles have some loyal freakin' fans, too. I'm talking about fans who cheer/scream/shout for every single pitch of a nine inning game. It's a magical place. Even those who aren't FSU fans can appreciate its beauty. Florida State, Florida State, Florida State. Woooo!

The turf looks a lot better and the surrounding parking lots have been expanded to comfortably accommodate the approximately 10,000 seating capacity. The new lights are great and the LED light shows are also great. Only downside is the entire stadium is indeed bleached seating so bringing a stadium chair is highly recommended if it's allowed at your event.

As far as high school football stadiums go, I have seen the broad spectrum from bad to great. Rip…read moreHewes falls pretty close to the middle. But considering the two 6A high schools in town share this one stadium, I have always expected more. I am sure that do things to help maintain this stadium. But never do anything to upgrade it. It was the same as when I was going to games as a kid and played there in high school. As far as I know, it is still the same now. Although I did hear that a new press box was put in a few years ago. But that only improves the experience for a small percentage of attendees. And it was only done because it was on the brink of being condemned. Once again, I have seen some terrible locker rooms, but I think this stadium takes the cake. It is a long room with no air flow with hooks on the walls. Once again, not what you expect for a stadium housing two larger high schools. The plus sides are plenty of parking spaces and the field itself has always been in pretty good shape. But Dothan is long overdue for a new facility.
