This is an easy venue to get to located right off of Speer Blvd. There is plenty of parking around the arena itself. The lots currently have Toyota vehicle names. We had prepaid for parking in the Rav4 lot. The worst part was that the majority of the parking attendants didn't have any idea where that was and gave us wrong directions. We finally found one attendant that knew where it was, but this wasn't until we were directed to four other lots and had circled the venue entirely. You can only bring a small bag with you, otherwise they won't let you bring it in. I would recommend bringing only items that you have to have. There are more than one entrances to Ball arena so if you have paid for a VIP experience make sure you are at the right entrance. The inside has plenty of food and drink options. We are easily able to find something every time we've been there. Make sure to bring your ID because they do card everyone. Plenty of restrooms around the arena. They are clearly marked and easy to find. We have sat in different sections depending on what we are seeing. The floor seats are usually the priciest. Sections 100-200 are typically just as good and tend to be cheaper. We have also sat in the 300 sections, which has been fine for stuff like monster trucks. Always fun to go and be apart of the crowd. Would recommend.

This shopping plaza has had many different updates over the years. There's a Chipotle, Buffalo Wild Wings Go, Tropical Smoothy, Dunkin' Donuts, a Vasa gym and many more places. It's nice that it finally got some much needed improvements. The one suggestion I have is that there seems to be an increase in pan handlers in the area that I have been approached several times for money. I haven't seen security in the area if there is some, but security might help deter some of that.

The sales people were friendly. Someone greeted me on my way into the store. The store was clean and it was easy to look at the different sections throughout the store. They had a separate area for their exercise clothes and an area for their sale items. The sale area was in a big area. It had plenty of room for several people to look through. The racks were neat and orderly.
