PSM Fieldhouse — Attraction in Fort Wayne

No real food. Pretzels. Muffins. Chips. Candy is not food for kids in sports. They need to have the people before this group that really served great food. The people claim to be a grill.. It is not a grill as the sign says. These sports girl and boys needs real food. Salads. Fresh fruit. Nutrition bars. Sandwiches. Nachos etc. Was there for tournament this Saturday. Nothing in food line until 11:00. And then pretzels. Muffins chips. Couldn't get drinks for players because they lost the keys..then it took forever to get through the line. Only 2 people working and then Not organized. Didn't know price of items by one of the workers. This is not fair for the boys and girls that are participating in the games. I saw a lot of people going out and coming back with food. Some people could not do that because of poor parking. When you leave you may not have a space to come back to..as for handicap parking. Saw about 6 spaces. Many people that attended were grandparents with handicaps. Not enough places for them. I do believe they should have at least the first front row for them and should be monitored and action taken if...

Focusing on the pickleball experience, the best aspect is that they are open at a good time in the morning (8:30) and the monthly schedule is typically open with limited closures. Location is good, too.

However, there are several downsides to consider. The game is played on a very glossy basketball court. This, combined with bright lighting, often causes difficulty with seeing and tracking the ball.

The floor is often dirty. Though staff does dust mop, a full cleaning is really past due. Players commonly wipe their shoes due to frequent slipping. It is also common to see trash building up around the bleachers after nighttime events. Popcorn, gum, and crushed candy are often found uncleaned from prior events. Pickleballers tend to help clean up after those folks who apparently won't do it for themselves.

The cost to play is also a bit high. $3 to play on a subpar surface, that is often messy, and in a condition that is less-than-optimal for the eyes, is not very competitive versus cheaper (and better) places to play.

I feel $2 is probably a nice happy medium for what is on offer at...

I wrote in to SportOne about spectators not wearing masks once they were in the bleachers. Someone replied and said she would bring up my concerns. I believe she did because today, they are handing out slips of paper explaining to spectators that they must wear masks at all time or risk being asked to leave. The same number of people are not wearing masks when they sit in the bleachers, but no one has even come around to remind people they need to wear them or risk being asked to leave. I believe SportOne’s lack of enforcement may be contributing to the rising numbers of COVID cases and they should be more diligent in enforcing the mask rule for the health of everyone in...
