Didn't know what to expect for my first monster jam but it was fairly pleasant - minus how cramp…read morethe seats were and I'm not even that tall. Like/ super chill stadium unlike the states. No clear bags. People brought bag, food. Toys! Pretty chill/ laid back. Got a very very last minute tickets- 200 zone but I was very close to the field! I like that. Row 2 though, so maybe that's why. Food, drinks and toys are insane for lines and prices. And no coffee ‍ Not bad for my first jam- and in Van city!!!

Embarrassing and awful customer service I experienced at the Vancouver Goldeneyes game…read more I was the last person in line and I overheard someone tell my cashier "after you finish with the last customer, go on your break". Since I was the last person/only person left in his line, it was very clear that they meant to help me and then go on break. However, he packed an order in a bag for another customer and put the "closed" sign directly in front of me and walked away. I immediately questioned him and he told me to go to another line and someone will help me there. Expecting me to either budge in front of other customers or line up at the back of another line. It was extremely embarrassing, infuriating, and hurtful. No other cashier or server came to help me. Other customers were also surprised at what happened. I eventually spoke to one other cashier who ended up helping me immediately. But what a horrible and humiliating experience. Other customers came up to me afterwards to let me know that what happened was absolutely awful, which is very kind of them but it does not change my experience.

It looks like quality of the products sold has gone done over the years, as there are now many places hawking cheapo nightmarket-type stuff such as cell phone covers. But they still have classics, such as Sweepas and Shamwows. Just make sure this is the last stop when you hit up PNE, as you don't want to lug around a bunch of stuff all day.

Nat Bailey is the home of the Vancouver Canadians A ball minor league baseball team. We had time before our flight home to check it out and they did not disappoint! We took an Uber in from downtown and was dropped off out front, about a 20 minute drive. We were able to check in our luggage at the stroller check located next to the Children's Play Area near the 3rd base entrance which was nice! I did confirm before we went to make sure. It was easy to enter and walk around the venue. It's small since it's a minor league park but it had that old nostalgic feel and everyone was so nice! They have plenty of beer and food options to try! I had the poutine fries of course and my hubby had their foot long dog! Both were delicious!!! And don't forget, you can go to guest services and they'll give you a button for your first time visiting! Weather was great, people were great, and although they didn't get the W, it was a super fun time!

Great venue to watch a ballgame. They need to address the poor water filling stations.read more

I know that most people avoided Mercer Stadium for running - the track was so old - it was first…read moreestablished in 1958. New West hasn't been known as a great place to run outdoors because you'll have to tackle all those insanely steep hills! It has been like years that I've seen an actual person running on the streets in New West for fitness purposes, and not getting chased by some crazies. There is some great news because Mercer Stadium has gone through over 2 million dollars in upgrades with a brand new blue and gold coloured running track. This is the second track in Canada with this colour pattern. University of Windsor was the first to use this colour pattern for their track. It's a Polytan PUR track which means that it's great for wet and dry conditions and there's a nice springy feel to it. If you're not into running on a track, there is an artificial turf in the centre of the stadium which is perfect for soccer. Unlike Swangard Stadium in Burnaby, Mercer Stadium is opened for 24 hours a day, so get after it!

Nice stadium where they were kind to help us get our tickets for the game. The Americans had see through bags to get through security. The Canadians just had to keep their bags small.

so i finally made it to rogers arena for a vancouver canucks vs tampa bay lightning game, and this…read morefelt like peak vancouver energy. getting in was smoother than expected, security looked intense, but the line moved quickly and we were inside in minutes. after a full day of rain, stepping into a packed arena was an instant mood shift. you could feel it right away. we got in right at puck drop and the seats filled up fast. what makes it, though, is the game day experience. the tshirt toss had people off their seats, the jumbotron reactions were actually entertaining (not just filler), and hearing a full arena chant in unison "go canucks go" never gets old. even the intermission pee wee game had the entire crowd invested, which says a lot. pro tip: skip the $50 parking headache. take the vancouver skytrain and get off at stadium-chinatown, it's right there. bonus move is stopping by the downtown costco wholesale beforehand for the famous $1.50 polish dog and drink combo. inside prices are no joke, i paid $31 for popcorn and a drink (yes, both refillable, but still a moment). not gonna lie, the game itself was not great. canucks lost 6 to 2. but honestly, the crowd kept the energy up the whole time, and it stayed super family friendly. also worth mentioning: the 50/50 jackpot hit $186,230, so someone walked out with $93,115. casually life changing. walking back out into the rain with the post game crowd, it didn't even feel like a loss heavy night. between the atmosphere, the traditions, and how easy the whole experience was to navigate, this is one of those venues that delivers even when the team doesn't. would i come back? absolutely, just maybe not for the parking or the concession prices.

I have to warn people that the concession at the Richmond Ice Centre really should be banned!…read more Not sure if she's the owner, she wears bright pink lipstick, never really smiles and have bad people skills! This is my story, I asked for hot water to top off my drank tea (I purchased it there of course). She not only seem unpleased at my request for adding hot water but used a mug that looked dirty to fill the hot water then she poured it into my paper cup. This mug appear to have her bright pink lipstick stain inside the mug, and when called her out if it was lipstick she said, "no it's coffee stain at the bottom of the cup"! Double gross! Lipstick and coffee stains! I felt sick left my tea on the counter! The health inspection should look into their health and safety standards! Really she can't give me hot water in my own cup, but she chooses to use her own dirty *** cup to transfer hot water!!!!!! Their health standards are gross and neglect any customer service. In fact she's passive aggressive in my opinion. If she was a decent human being she would have apologized and give me a brand new tea! Instead she argued that it's a coffee stain and that's supposed to be okay! Nope not okay! This is during the Richmond Boys tournament Dec 2024. I'm banning this concession and so should you!

Rink may be a bit older than the newer community centers but the staff seem to do a decent job maintaining their facilities.

There is also a concession area selling hot dog, popcorn, pretzels, etc opened during the weekend but not sure of its weekday hours as it's not posted. Didn't check out their shower or other rinks in arena and it seems popular for hockey practice.
