Maracana Indoor Sports Arena — Attraction in Tucson

Pros:

Kid-Friendly Atmosphere: Maracana is incredibly welcoming to children, making it a fantastic venue for families looking to enjoy soccer together.

Dynamic Field Layout: The hockey-style field layout contributes to fast-paced and high-energy games, creating an exhilarating experience for players.

Co-ed Leagues: The co-ed leagues offered at Maracana are well-organized and popular, providing a great opportunity for both men and women to compete together.

On-Site Bar: A standout feature is the bar conveniently located within the facility, allowing players to unwind and socialize after games.

Cons:

Short Notice Scheduling: One drawback is the short notice sometimes given for game schedules, which can be inconvenient for planning.

Additional Fees: In addition to the season fee, there's a mandatory membership fee that some players have been bullied and harassed by staff to pay, as reported by some patrons.

Competitive Men's League: The men's league, even at the "beginner" level, can be overly competitive, which may not suit everyone looking for a more recreational experience.

Refereeing Issues: Refereeing in the men's league has been inconsistent, with reports of bias and a lack of control over physical play, leading to serious injuries and hospitalization...

I come here for Wednesday evening drop-in soccer. The fee is reasonable, which I appreciate, and the quality of play is very fun. I'm a lady, and I've never gotten any grief for coming to play with a bunch of men, but I've never seen any other girls come for drop-in, which I wish would change, but that's not the facilities' fault. The field surface is in pretty rough shape, it is more rubber chips than "grass" at this point, especially around the goal area, which makes footing terrible. The staff organizes 4 teams of 5-6, which rotate through ~15 minute games; the structure makes for efficient play instead of a bunch of dudes hemming and hawing and wasting time trying to get organized. I usually get about an hour's worth of play, but I would prefer shorter rotations so we didn't sit around for such big blocks of time--15 minute games can mean a team sits for 30 minutes before playing again. Other places I've played do 5-10 minute games, and I like that...

Went for the first time to go to a kids soccer party. Nice, small indoor soccer place. It doesn’t look like much on the outside, more of like an old warehouse. No obvious signs that stand out to let you know where it’s at either. Giving it 3 stars bc of outdated appearance… It’s not the most aesthetic looking place, but the bar area inside looks cute. I agree with the other reviews of this place looking dirty and dingy. It kinda just looks like a big warehouse where people gather to play soccer. Personally, just not our scene! Great place to play soccer...
