点评:We were at the facility for a youth lacrosse tournament, and overall the tournament itself was great. The complex is beautiful, the fields are well maintained, and it's a great place to watch games. However, the facility seemed unprepared for the number of events taking place.
We later found out there were two lacrosse tournaments happening at the same time, along with a baseball tournament and a basketball tournament elsewhere on the property. It was simply too many people for the available amenities.
On the outdoor field side, there were only three restroom buildings with a limited number of stalls, and no portable restrooms had been brought in to accommodate the crowds. Staff appeared to be doing their best to keep the bathrooms clean, but they couldn't keep up. Toilets were overflowing, several stalls ran out of toilet paper, and the floors became extremely slippery. I personally saw two women slip and fall in the restrooms.
Parking was another challenge. Spectators were required to purchase a weekend parking pass for $15–$20. On Saturday, attendants weren't even verifying who had paid—they simply directed everyone to park and purchase a pass afterward. It appeared the parking capacity had been oversold. By Sunday, parking was extremely limited, with vehicles being directed into muddy fields where several cars became stuck.
Food options were also lacking for an event of this size. There was only one food truck serving full meals, along with the facility's concession stand, which had run out of many food items by around 11:00 a.m. on the first day.
Overall, the tournament was enjoyable, and the quality of the fields was excellent. With better planning for parking, restrooms, and food service during large multi-sport weekends, this facility could provide a much better experience for athletes and families alike.
翻译:我们当时去那里参加一个青少年长曲棍球锦标赛,总的来说,比赛本身很棒。场地环境优美,球场维护得很好,是观看比赛的好地方。然而,场地似乎没有做好应对如此多赛事的准备。
后来我们才知道,当时除了两场长曲棍球锦标赛之外,场地其他地方还有棒球锦标赛和篮球锦标赛同时进行。人数实在太多,现有设施根本无法满足需求。
室外球场那边只有三栋卫生间,而且隔间数量有限,也没有安排移动厕所来应对人流。工作人员似乎尽力保持卫生间的清洁,但还是力不从心。马桶溢水,好几个隔间都用完了卫生纸,地板也变得非常滑。我亲眼看到两个女人在卫生间里滑倒了。
停车也是个问题。观众需要购买周末停车票,价格在15到20美元之间。周六,工作人员甚至没有核实谁已付费——他们只是引导所有人停车,然后事后再购买通行证。看来停车位已经超售了。到了周日,停车位极其有限,车辆被引导到泥泞的场地,有好几辆车陷在了里面。
对于如此规模的赛事来说,餐饮选择也十分匮乏。除了场馆内的售货亭外,只有一辆餐车提供正餐,而售货亭在第一天上午11点左右就售罄了许多食品。
总的来说,比赛本身还是令人愉快的,场地质量也非常好。如果在大型综合体育赛事周末期间,能够更好地规划停车、洗手间和餐饮服务,这个场馆就能为运动员和他们的家人提供更好的体验。
