My social league team made the bocce finals last month and they were held in City Stadium…read more It was my first visit; otherwise I had only driven by or seen it in the distance. Also I'm not a soccer fan so the chances of my future attendance at a Kickers game are slim to none. I do know some larger-scale events are held here, though. The stadium could definitely use a touch of paint. It's clearly been around for a while. But the field was nice and made for good bocce ball throwing. The stands were fine too. I didn't use the restrooms or buy any concessions. I'd return in the future if a festival or event sounds fun.

I haven't been to City Stadium in nearly 15 years! Ironically, it was for a kickers game too. It…read morewas nice to reminisce the old U of R Stadium. This place was one of my first jobs as a teenager. I worked for the University of Richmond sporting events as an usher. As I sat with friends on the "visitor" side of the stadium, I was able see the old sections of the stadium I actually worked. I hope the Kickers games can start to bring in larger crowds to start to fill that side again. It was depressing to see how old the "home" section looked. Staff at the stadium were friendly and helped us make sure we were in the correct area for seating. Shortly after taking our seats, we were upgraded to VIP seats thanks to Lauren's social media talents! We also got other freebies from Chick Fila and won many certificates during the frisbee toss at halftime. It was a wonderful Saturday night spent with great people enjoying one of the few professional sports Richmond VA has to offer.

Our second visit wasn't as great as our first. I'd like this place to succeed because it's…read moredifferent and fun but I think the price point is prob too high given the inconsistency of the experience. The first time we came it was on time and we loved the Dragon Tower escape room: it was the perfect mix of puzzle and action. This time we showed up 10 minutes early and they said they were running 5-10 minutes behind because of "cleaning issues". Well it turned into 20 minutes late so thankfully we already canceled our dinner reservations. I think it would've been fine if it wasn't $250 for a family of five for 38 minutes and the ninja trials escape room was not as exciting or interesting as dragon tower. Also one of the equipment pieces we were given was faulty so that made it less fun for one of us.

Came here with my coworkers and we all had a really fun time! I got to do the zombie shooter in the…read moreaction arena and the alien infection escape room. The guns with differing feedback based on what you're shooting are really cool and immersive, and I thought the escape room did a very cool job of introducing some new types of puzzles that you couldn't really do in a real-life escape room. The staff were very fun, friendly and helpful and made the whole experience a blast. Looking forward to coming back soon!

If you are trying to decide you have made a great decision on a small school you just have to know that you can't compare this to a big school can't compare this to a school that is vastly different but if there's certain items on your checklist this will be just as good as any other school that you are trying to compare it to.

I was there for a private event. The crowd was warm and wonderfully mixed. There was a little chat before the event began that basically told us to not get kicked out by being mean or non-inclusive. Not sure how I felt about that. Parking in Carytown is its own contact sport. Come early -- your blood pressure will thank you. I parked 6 blocks away and was lucky to get that. Bottom line: Weird, welcoming, and worth every lap around the block looking for a spot if you're into crowds and are looking for something different.

The charcuterie board we ordered was excellent and a highlight of the night. The location is also great for nightlife. That said, the drinks didn't quite hit the mark for me, and the service was inconsistent. We were told guests are expected to be quiet during the sets, yet another group was talking loudly and nothing was addressed, which felt a bit uneven. Overall, it's not a place I'd return to, and I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a more diverse crowd.

We went to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts instead and had a nice time. I guess Wilton House will have to wait: but I will call ahead next time, as their website is apparently not reliable.

It was kind of cool that you walk down stairs to get to the game. The crowd was nice, the game exciting (it was a tie) and the weather was perfect. We will definitely attend again.
