    FIRST TIMERS at the derby today!! We had winners circle tickets which included an AYCE brunch from…read more12-4. Pet me tell you it was a whole lot of food we could not try all. From your typical pancakes and waffles etc. to stuffed chicken with season rice and more. An array of desserts, salads and fruits. Drinks are reasonably priced averaging $9-$12. Service is decent considering size of venue. Regular drinks, sodas and teas were included for the $45 ticket. For some reason the races mostly started away from us which was a little disappointing but overall loved the experience. They also have a special area for kids on Sundays this month only $5 with face painting, play areas, petting zoo and more.

    Hidden gem in Houston - what a fun getaway from the city! Spent a couple of hours here on a…read moresurprise date. $7 for admission that I paid online in advance for ($14 for two people). Parking was plentiful since it was a huge lot. The venue itself is quite big - multiple floors and wide in length. There were lots of tables with individual monitors with horse races streaming from different regions of the U.S, along with lots of TVs by the food court area. Plenty of people just watching the different races streamed on the TV happily. Betting takes place on the kiosks spread throughout the building. There's a variety of methods to bet, but easily thing to do is take a picture of the screen and have ChatGPT explain it to you lol since it's a lot of information to digest if you're a first timer. Betting is minimum $2 to start. The nachos were cheap and filling - $10 for a spread shared among two people. Plenty of cheap food available. Now for the actual racing, there was a lot of seating (albeit, they were not labeled). We actually sat in the paid, reserved seating with the TV monitors (which was quite nice, since you could see the camera following the horses racing outside on the track up close), until we were kicked out since we could show the ticket narc our tickets. We relocated to a different seating area next to it, and again after a few rounds, we were ticket-checked again and had to move. Finally, we discovered the free seating, which is at the very end on the left side of the building, with the auditorium-like seats (furthest from the fancy restaurant they have). It wasn't terrible, and we spent most of the time at the paid seating anyways. Would recommend better signage because as newbies to the horse racing venue, we didn't know any better. A lot of friend groups, families, singles, all gathered to watch the horse racing, and TBH, I got pretty into it once I started betting (rabbit hole?), so it was quite fun. There was even a hat contest that was cute to watch! I'd come back! It was a unique way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

    For a university basketball arena, I'm really impressed with the Fertitta Center. Home of the…read moreUniversity of Houston Cougars, this is a great venue to catch a game. The center is modern, clean, organized and has all the amenities. I came prepared with a clear bag but entry was still a breeze. Security does a great job pointing people in the direction of their seats and ensuring that stairways and hallways remain clear. In terms of food and drink, I was really impressed with the number of options. They have two full service food counters on either side of the arena. While I personally did not get anything, I saw people passing by with nachos and popcorn. If you want something a little more substantial Antones Poboys and Chick-fil-a were both set up for grab and go. They also had lots of alcoholic beverage options from tall boy beers, liquor for cocktails and even a spiked fresh lemonade stand. The arena has a fan shop onsite, some historical displays and a kid coloring zone. The game itself was well played (they won!) and executed from the announcer to the lights and entertainment. Great experience overall.

    I like this venue! Great view from anywhere in the stands. Parking garage has plenty of spots and…read moreis spacious. They do a good job of keeping this venue clean. I like the large screens and how red everything is... you really feel the Cougar spirit here. During commencement season, UH does a good job of managing traffic in the garage and on the streets.

    It's a nice venue, no doubt about it. But for people who are not current students (like this…read moreAggie), having to create an online account and jump through hoops just to go in and watch a single game is absolute B.S., and I don't mean Bachelor of Science! Somebody please tell me how the current system is better than when you walked up to the ticket window, bought a ticket, then went inside. It took about 30 seconds to buy a ticket, and the line moved fast. This line moved SLOW. I shudder to think what would happen if my mom tried to attend a game in Reed. The line would grind to a halt for 30 minutes!

    Came for a graduation and had a great time. The seating was a bit smaller than my old body would…read moreprefer, but it's an arena. Loved it all but the only negative strike is getting out of the place is a HUGE pain. They only have a very few exits and everyone going to the same few spots while groups chit chat make it pretty staked. Food/drinks are the usual steep prices but not too fantastic. Definitely a spot I wish I could return for a basketball game. Pro-tip: if you are lining up for a graduation, do NOT wait at the Main entrance. Those are as far from the stage when you enter as you can get. Go to the right/left of the main entrance and go to whichever is furthest from this point. If I did it again, I would have gone to the right of the door the graduates entered.
