Before delving into all that, though, I will summarize some of its best features: * Free parking (in the east lot only, however) * Wonderful security, concession, and event staff (minus one manager in particular) * Spacious venue, with great sight lines, even from the floor Now, on to the problem: Myself, my wife, and another 20-or-so attendees had VIP Meet & Greet tickets to meet one of the bands in the lineup for our event, to which we were invited into the venue early to hang out with them, take pictures, etc. Although our band was not the headliner, we were told by event staff that, once our session was done, we'd have to head back outside. However, we were explicitly told to line up behind the VIP line for the headliner, and once their session was one, we'd ALL be allowed entry into the venue early, partially to avoid the 90+ degree heat and direct sunlight hitting the glass and reflective mirrors on the sunny-side of the building, where our lines were told to assemble. We confirmed this multiple times with the gentleman, who was friendly, warm, helpful and welcoming. Once we were back outside, things took a turn south, as the Events Manager, the aforementioned smug, rude, condescending and callous mentioned above, decided otherwise, and subjected nearly two dozen people to several hours of sun exposure, simply due to her being on some sort of power trip. Multiple people in our group would end up suffering from heat-related health issues, including two diabetics. Thankfully, some of the caring concession staff inside, noticing our plight, offered some free cold beverages to help alleviate their suffering. Despite being informed of what the previous gentleman had said, as well as the condition of the people suffering in the heat, the Events Manager continued to be smug and dismissive, her response always distilling down to basically "because I said so". Her final excuse was that our tickets simply could not be scanned for entry prior to a certain time, which is true to a point. However, as one of the people in our group worked for Ticketmaster, and informed her, and everyone present, that this is adjustable by the venue AND Ticketmaster, she ran out of excuses. Once we were finally inside, things were great, once people had recovered from the heat. However, this Events Manager put people's live in danger for no reason other than exerting her power, and that is in excusable. A complaint is being filed with the BBB by multiple people in our group, as well as formal complains with the venue's ownership and upper management. At the VERY least, in the future, ShoWare Center needs to inform their management that extended queues for summer events MUST be moved to the shaded side of the building, and when people start to suffer legitimate risks to their health, then it's time to take action...or be the subject of legal action taken against them.

We like coming here because it's the cheapest ice skating rank in the area…read more It's best come come in the weekdays; weekends and holidays can be super crowded with the line to buy tickets/ check in out the door So we went for the first time ever a few weeks ago, rented 2 walkers. We put our kids skates in, turned around and one walker was gone we went to the front desk and they said it was our responsibility to look after it and if someone took it there's nothing they can do and we would have to pay to get another one It sounds naive but wish they would have given disclosure of that... also didn't think someone would just "steal" it

I'm not going to lie, I was kinda iffy on this place because of the reviews, so I set my expectation low. I submitted a party inquiry on their website, the price was pretty reasonable. After submitting the form, a party coordinator should contact you. I was anxious and called the facility because it was days after the online submittals. After that, she contacted me to confirm and make a payment. One part that she fell short on was saying that they would email me a few days prior to the event but the email never came, so not sure what it entails. There's two set price, $395 or $300. The room maximum is only 25 capacity. The price comes with 15 or 20 wristbands for ice skaters, depending on which rooms you choose. You let them know what color table cloth and 6 balloons you would like, it also comes with 24 bottles of water and goodie bags. You can buy more balloons, if you like. They sure make it super easy on parents. They only allow you to come 15 minutes early to set up, which isn't a lot of time. You just have to make sure that everyone arrive on time, as you only an hour to have the room to eat which doesn't seem like enough time and would feel rushed. If I could request a change, I would suggest that they let you have the room for the full 2.5 hrs. For example, 30 mins to set up, 2 full hrs for the room which could be used to eat, mingle, cake cutting and for cleaning up. Overall, it was a successful. The front staff was very kind and nice. Thank you for making it memorable for my daughter.

Theater was a smaller one, only two rows of seats in the back before the floor seats but theater was clean and chairs were comfortable. We enjoyed the movie and will be back.

The stadium is clean, easy to get around, and has a really good atmosphere. Sightlines are solid pretty much everywhere, and it's just a good place to watch a game whether you're a big baseball fan or not. Food options were a highlight. Grabbed a Coors Light, a Great State cheeseburger, and a Sumo Dog chili cheese, and everything hit. Also stopped by Marination for the ube coconut Krispy, which was a really good sweet option to mix things up. Lines moved pretty well and the staff kept things organized. It never felt chaotic even with a full crowd. Between the game, the food, and the overall vibe, it's easily one of the better ballpark experiences. Definitely a place I'd come back to for another game.

Decided between here or bellevue college at the beginning of my 2nd college round in life. Rtc lost…read morebecause of how unprofessional they handled my application. (5 yrs ago experience). The first issue I had was the phones kept ringing like no one wanted to answer them. Then they complained when they had to answer them. I set up multiple appts to get into a consular only to show up and the person wasn't there. Or because I was a mid 30 yr old at the time requested to leave because they thought I was out of place. After multiple attempts I finally got thru to the consular. They began to belittle my choices of technical degrees and started pushing them like it was a business. I'm sorry but since when do you have say in what I can and can not take? That would be their college pushing classes like a business instead of what the student wants to take. I had tons of credits from a couple other colleges and they said none of them would transfer in and I'd have to start fresh. Another money gimmick grab by the college. I had a clutter fuck mess issue when trying to take the placement test for english/math. I wondered over paid and came over to the testing center and I had set up an appt with them. The rep had belittled me and challenged me for even being there and complained about it. Twice I had to wonder back to the consular to inform them of the issue and he had to come over and yell at her to let me take it. That was another red flag. I had completed thru lvl 250 at bellevue college and their test was so poorly constructed that they said I would need remedial classes because they were not sure. Okay that's a red flag. I completed thru 98 (at the time) for math at bc and they said I'd have to start in remedial classes. I know I scored high on their test but something was fishy about it when they tried to place me in remedial classes. Yea that boosts my confidence as a could be student. As I tried to become an active student by the third red flag issue I decided to go to bellevue college. The rep said I needed to collect a ton of paper work so I did and came back. I repeatedly got requested to leave because my age deemed me "Out of place" and after the second time I told them look I'm trying to apply if you people do not want me here I shall not attend. You lost a could of been student that day. Over the years I have taken certificate classes/courses and never had this much of an issue with their college. But this was also back when it was a technical school not a college. When rtc became a college that's when it all changed into a clutter f* mess. Do not attend here. I price compared with bc and bc is about 30% cheaper than rtc. Don't believe me? Do the math. Parking is a bit of an issue with the campus. There's never enough parking and when I did my technical classes earlier in life parking was always full. I had to neighborhood park at your own risk and walk over or park at far end of camapus and walk over to the class area.
