The Armory is usually kept up the Sleevory. But not in Albany. They do things differently there…read more If you happen to be in this very busy part of central Albany, perhaps getting an amazing Gyro from My Gyro Station, or a Falafel/Shawarma Pita sandwich from Mamoun's, you will instantly notice the massive, dominant, haunting, imposing structure across the street, just the way you see it in the rainy picture I posted. The Armory, for me, is the most spectacular sight in Albany. Partly because of the way it looks and dominates the area with its sheer size, but partly because it's in an area full of shops and people and traffic, and really stands out from all the typical downtown hustle and bustle, rather than being tucked away somewhere. It's right on a major intersection. It give Albany a lot of character and is well worth checking out. Definitely a 5-star attraction. And if you fall in love with a French girl here (probably from Montreal), then that's very Amoury.

The parking is good. $25 for parking if you go to the MVP arena parking. Level 3 is the best and easiest for walking straight into the venue. (Take Beaver Street) and follow it to the end to enter the garage. (You'll pass other garages that aren't affiliated with the arena and they charge $40+. Avoid them if you wanna save some money. The MVP arena garage is easy. As with every stadium the drinks and snacks are expensive but to be expected. Only con I had was the cleanliness of the actual seat isles. My feet were sticking to the floor. And bathrooms are on a lower level. So stairs are involved.

MVP Arena is a cute, big but small, relaxed venue. Getting into the venue, through security, and…read morefinding our seats was easy and quick. We had a good time seeing Stars on Ice here. I would avoid the chicken tenders as we had two in one order that were raw on the inside. Other than that, everyone enjoyed their time here!

The Summit comprised two conference halls -- one for doing work and conversing and the other for the panel discussions. There is a second floor that is a much larger conference hall with high ceilings and cool blue lighting. We had lunch on the one full day of the conference. Parking if you are driving is available across the street and can be accessed either from the street or through a skyway that is connected with the Capital Center.

An amazing event, conference, and convention space! Beautiful, scenic views, and excellent staff.read more

The building is old and shows some wear but still yeilds a great experience. The local community always shows up to support RPI Hockey, so you can expect fans of all ages. If you're looking for some great entertainment at a reasonable cost, don't hesitate to bring your family and support RPI Hockey.

My wife and I came here as part of a work outing to see a Valley Cats game and we had a great time…read more As baseball stadiums go, this place is pretty nice. Parking is convenient and there is no cover charge. The stadium doesn't hold many seats (capacity is posted as 4,500) which means that they only have one main level of seats and a couple of "boxes" above. Every seat is pretty good, and you feel as if you are in on the action. Some games don't sell out (well, most games) so after a while you could probably find yourself in a front row seat... The concession stands sell lots of fun things and the prices seem reasonable. Sadly, I smelled fried dough and imagined it was here but couldn't find the vendor selling it. It was on the sign on the wall as being available. Oh, the agony of being so close... yet so far. The team mascot, "Southpaw," did his best to entertain the crowd. He spent over an inning in our section alone taking pictures and picking on the Yankees fans, which are both admirable endeavors in my book. They had the usual minor-league hijinks between innings that are goofy to watch, are impossible to hear over the loud speaker, and almost always have some winner. In short, for a minor league game on a budget and on a nice evening, it is hard to beat this place.
