I have fun but it's not the best place to see anything you actually wanna hear…read more I'm pretty sure I've been here throughout the years. I think my first concert was here but we got so high on the way down I only remember two songs from the opener and none of the trip. This most recent visit was Friday. They wouldn't let my wife bring in her purse. However they let someone bring in a larger one right before her. So she drew attention to this. They didn't care. She had to go buy a $10 clear bag. This really wouldn't have been an issue if it wasn't so inconsistent. Also like I know you can charge whatever you want for food and drink cuz it's your venue and all but should you?! Anyway lawn tickets aren't really worth it. It's like hey you sit outside and watch other people attend a concert.

I would come back to the BB&T Pavilion again for a concert in the future based on when I came here…read moreto see Blondie and Elvis Costello. This was an outdoor concert. The sound was good, cool A/V with the projector screens and lights, and it was easy to move about during the concert. We had driven down and parked at BB&T. The peace of mind was worth the money out of pocket. At the time, we didn't often go to this area/part of Jersey, so we decided to park there. We purchased specific seats for this show. I thought the chairs were comfortable. Also, the concession booths had lots of options, and I remember the prices being reasonable.

There are enough security people and ushers to assist you so you shouldn't have any issues.

Visited the Santander Arena this past weekend for an old school hip hop concert. I didn't even know…read morethe arena existed prior to my friend suggested this concert. After this show, I doubt I'd see another show here. The area is conveniently located across from a hotel, which is great if you're traveling to Reading, PA like we were from another city or state. Unfortunately I cannot review the parking situation, because with took a Lyft there. But it seemed like everyone parked away from the arena. All of the staff was extremely friendly. From the attendant that helped us find our seats to the nice lady who sold us the $15 deuce-deuce can I'd Trulys. It's really sad how ridiculous these arena prices arena! The seats at the Santander were horrible. Of course because it's a concert, everybody was dancing and having a great time, but the seats were wobbling and moving more than we were. I felt like I was going to end up in the floor! The sound system wasn't the best either. Most times, the music was completely overpowering the artist. For these two reasons, I doubt I'll be back. But the concert was great!

The Trenton Thunder ballpark is proof that smaller is often better. The park is compact, which…read moremeans every seat feels close to the action. You never need binoculars. You can hear the crack of the bat and the chatter from the dugout without straining. Baseball as it should be seen. The Delaware River runs right behind the outfield. On hot nights the breeze rolls in off the water. It cools the air, turns the place into something comfortable when the rest of New Jersey is sweating. That is not something you can engineer. That is geography being kind. Parking is easy. Five dollars. Cash only. Plentiful and close. In a world where stadium parking often feels like extortion, this is practically charity. The food is not just food. It is a catalog of local pride. Case's Pork Roll. Killarney's. Rita's Italian Water Ice. Raccoon Saloon. Alongside these sit Colbie's Southern Fried Chicken and Boomer's BBQ. If none of that calls to you there are still the old standards. Hot dogs. Pretzels. Popcorn. Nachos. The ballpark classics are covered. There is even a picnic area down the left field line for groups who want baseball and burgers in equal measure. The ballpark is easy to get to. Right on Route 29 by the riverfront. Quick access to 29, 129, I-195, and I-295. No mazes. No confusion. A night here is affordable, easy, and close to the event in every sense. Five stars.

My friend and I came to Subaru Park for the second time yesterday for a Philadelphia Union game…read more This time we were in Section 132 row DD which is near the top of the corner with the river and bridge behind us. Last time we were on the video board side also in the corner upper rows. Directly opposite of where we sat last night. Both areas had great views of the field and for the most part we were able to watch the game without issues. When people and their kids were constantly getting up to let others through or kids just bored talking loud, playing loud videos, or moving around the stands without parents being parents, then there were problems which were at times difficult to deal with. Another issue which I did not even think to consider is that where we were, and having the river behind us, is that there were numerous flies making things irritating. Parking is in numerous lots throughout the area and all are cashless, so buy your pass before and get the code emailed to you to be scanned by the attendants. Police are plentiful directing traffic before and after the game. Subaru Park holds 20,000. There's plenty of bathrooms, multiple food stands (average food at high prices), and if you don't mind 24/7 cheering, the Sons of Ben section almost next to us will make you wonder how many sore throats there are the day after games. Some sections have signage specifically stating that they are standing allowed sections. The Sons of Ben sections also have signs saying you can expect to stand the whole game. Overall, we had a great time and are 2-0 with Union wins both games we attended. When we come back again, we'll be shooting for the video board side for our seats. No flies, less kids, not as much noise from the Sons of Ben (sorry, everyone) and less windy! Go Union! Ba-ba-baba-ba-ba-ba-ba....Heeeeeeyyy You! For about 20 minutes straight....

I like that this stadium was designed for soccer matches rather than sharing with other sports. It's not overwhelming, easy to get to the vendors you want, the bathrooms are clean, no roof, and you can see everything happening on the pitch without looking up at the screen. The river/bridge is right behind one side with a nice view from behind the opposing team's supporter section. The parking lot can use some work but I'm sure that will come in time.

I went to Franklin Field for the first time this past fall (awesome, must go) so figured I'd also check out the Palestra for a Penn basketball game. Despite not being even close to smart enough to go to UPenn, I'm happy to report I felt like a Quaker rooting on the home team against Yale. It's called "The Cathedral of College Basketball" for a reason. A historic venue that had so many legendary players and games pass through, it's very cool as a basketball fan just to see it and experience it. Concession options are basic but solid. I think something to note, I consider going to a Penn game as a great alternative to going to the Sixers. I now really dislike the Sixers organization. Too many unlikable players who don't care, awful management, terrible ownership and the center city stadium nonsense....where do you even start? As a result I've stopped going to games and will plan on attending more UPenn games. Not only is it a fraction of the cost, but honestly it's a better product, the players actually play and try and it's just a generally fun atmosphere. Only thing to note, I found it kinda tricky to find the arena from one of the parking lots, but that aside great experience.

Opened in 1927, this ancient edifice (Greek for gymnasium) has cramped seating, narrow corridors and water closets that belong to the first half of the 20th Century. Is the brownish color scheme actual paint or the burnt-in nicotine stains from countless Depression-era Chesterfields? Who cares, the place wears it's scars and decrepitude well and is my favorite place to catch some hoops. Maybe the lack of amenities and strict focus on the game at hand that makes it a treat to explore this husk of a building untouched by modernity. Given the absence of amenities it's clear that the crowd is here for the game - definitely my kind of crowd. So talk to your doctor and see if Palestra might be right for you. Here's to another 97 years. Five stars with conviction.

What stood out the most was how nice everyone was. I've had not so great experiences at sports games in Florida, so I was ready for a completely different vibe. But people here were so kind. Like genuinely kind. They helped us find lockers, pointed us to the elevator, and made sure we got to our seats without any confusion. Huge shoutout to Beverly H and Glynn M because they really made the night. My friend's phone was dying and Glynn helped her out with a charger right away. Beverly was also trying to find one for her too. And for me, I had no idea what was going on half the time with the game, and Beverly took the time to explain it in a way that actually made sense. I didn't feel lost at all. It really felt like that whole "city of brotherly love" thing is real. Even though the Phillies lost, it didn't even matter. We still had such a good time. My friend hadn't been to a game since the Veterans Stadium days and she had so much fun she's already talking about getting season tickets... once they start winning again lol Overall just a really fun night with great energy and even better people. I'd absolutely go back.
