Fifth Third Stadium — Attraction in Kennesaw

I drove a bus load of flag football fans to a flag football event that was held at the Fith Third Bank Stadium on 7 July 2018. I can't really comment about the facility because I spent all of my time sitting in the bus. I've been driving buses for a living and on the side for well over 25 years and I never been to any kind of sports event where the bus driver was not allowed complementary admission into the venue. In my capacity as bus driver I'm working just like all of the event staff, security officers, coaches, medical professionals and the list goes on and on. I dropped off my passengers then walked to the gate in my bus drivers uniform met with the event staffer who told me where to park the bus, who checked with other event staffers who denied my getting into the venue. They wouldn't let me go in to purchase something to eat or to even use the bathroom. I had to call and get some...

Cute stadium, but it is terribly managed. They have no clue how to handle large or medium crowds and oversell parking. Traffic around the stadium is horrific.

We ended up driving an additional 15 minutes to mall across the street and...

The facility is well maintained and looks like a great place to play all kinds of sports, but the good part of this review stops there because I'm a local resident, not a spectator or player. Every time they hold major events, they close down roads that I need to use to get home, without any prior notice or providing any information about detour. So I get to drive around for extra 15 minutes only to find out that I can hear the noise from the stadium in my room. And since the facility is not open to public, for me this is just something that causes heavy traffic and pollution (light, noise, and trash) every now and then. Great looking facility, but I wish they had room to think about the...
