Great hockey & concert venue, with excellent concession and event staff, marred by some truly…read moreatrocious, smug, rude, condescending and callous management. 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.

Even though it wasn't completely full, the crowd was loud and full of energy. I was impressed by how clean and organized everything was--security was everywhere, and the check‑in process was smooth and quick. We got to see all the players, along with GM John Schneider, owner Jody Allen, head coach Mike Macdonald, Sam Darnold, and our Super Bowl MVP running back Kenneth Walker III. Steve Raible, our iconic local announcer, served as the emcee, which made the event feel even more special. It was amazing to celebrate with the team and fellow fans. Several players, the coach, and the GM spoke to the crowd, sharing stories about their journey and the hard work that went into winning the championship. Being there to witness it all in person was something I won't forget.

We watched a Banana Ball game (Party Animals vs The Clowns) this weekend at Cheney Stadium, and as…read morea first-time visitor, I was very happy with my visit to this event venue. Cheney Stadium has a fixed seating capacity of 6500, however I wonder if their parking lot takes this crowd size into consideration. The venue has its own parking lot, and also shares the highschool parking lot next door. Event parking was $40, which seemed a bit steep. However, there the lots were clean, easy to navigate, and felt safe and well-lighted. I don't know how old this venue is, but it feels modern and full of great ammenities. The restrooms are clean and spacious, the walkways are wide, there's plenty of signage directing visitors to seating areas, and the seating is roomy and comfortable. The lighting and visuals in this stadium are first rate. The picture on the jumbotron was crystal clear and easy to view during daylight hours. And most importantly, the stadium is situated such that late afternoon sun is mostly blocked by the bleachers. Even though the seating isn't entirely covered, the layout and design reduces the intensity of late afternoon sun. Believe me, you'll appreciate this on a hot summer afternoon.

Cheney stadium has definitely made us true minor league baseball fans…read more Why are we such big fans now? Well here's a few reasons why: Rainiers fans are fun and lively, This stadium is very open, Parking is convenient, Food and drink lines are fast and reasonably priced, Multiple food options so you're not just eating the same thing over and over, Tickets are CHEAP! And finally, views that are just stunning on a sunny PNW day. I recommend taking the whole family to as many games as you can during baseball season. That way you can truly enjoy one of America's best past times, become a fellow Rainer's fan, and take in all the beautiful PNW views.

The location and venue were clean and nice, music was great, and there weren't many long lines so it was quick to get food, and merch.

It kinda felt like I was in a big gym. Our seats weren't that great or expensive but we had a great view of the stage and we did not feel like we were that far away. Seats were fairly comfortable too. The parking situation is a bit of a mess and it's a horrible place to drive to and back. There is no easy way to get there. You will be dealing with horrible traffic and there will be lots of constructions going on in the summer time. If my favorite artists decide to perform here in the future, I would not hesitate to come back but Tacoma dome is definitely not my favorite venue for events.

There is a shuttle from the free parking if you don't want to walk as it is a bit of a hike. We have been here twice.

There is also a merch stand, bathrooms, and of course, betting options for those betting. You can easily view the winner's circle and the live trumpeteer.

I am not even a huge horse racing person, which is probably why this caught me off guard. The energy pulls you in fast. I grabbed some food, walked around a bit, watched a few races, and somewhere in there the whole outing shifted from "I am just here to see what this is like" to "okay, this is actually fun." The views are nice, the overall vibe is lively without feeling overwhelming, and there is enough going on that you do not need deep racing knowledge to enjoy yourself. That part matters, because some places can make you feel like you missed orientation. This did not. It felt accessible, upbeat, and like a genuinely unique local experience instead of another event venue dressed up as one. I could absolutely see bringing friends here and looking very organized for having suggested it. Go on a day when you want some energy and people watching with your afternoon.

There's also a conference center complete with meeting rooms and large ballroom. Arena seating comfort is and the forward facing angle allows for a clear view of the main floor or stage. There are some concession stands serving hotdogs, popcorn, nachos, pizza, and drinks. They even have beer and cider. Pricing is on the higher end, which is expected.
