Kiggins Bowl — Attraction in Vancouver

Up until last night I would have posted five stars...

Most, if not all HS stadiums, utilize modern day technology. After returning to WA after our kids all played football here from 2004-2012, we were thrilled to see our latest sons playing where their older Navy brothers played as Thunder, and various CCYF teams. As parents to Senior at Union this year, we happily travel near and far to watch our Titans with much dedication and enthusiasm. I will say that admission prices to games have gotten rather costly, and I understand the need to charge. But first off, let’s not forget it’s our kids that are playing and therefore the reason stadiums have opportunity to charge these admission fees (some families are not rich and at times can’t come and enjoy their kids playing. Especially siblings). But what happened to my husband last night should not have happened at all. And I have to assume it wasn’t a one-time occurrence.

As stated, the reason I am posting my concern is to bring awareness of this blatant disregard for a football player’s parent, which I’m hopeful will not happen to another well meaning parent who just wants to see their kid play football. My husband rushed from his job in Portland, rushing through traffic, rain, trying to get to the 5pm game, with hopes of catching as much as he could. I arrived much earlier and found a place to sit. As a disabled veteran, my foot was really messing with me the night prior and that night. Climbing stairs only caused more pain. When he arrived he assumed he had monetary means to get in - NEVER had a problem or embarrassing issue in all the 20+ years our 4 sons have played America’s greatest game! But he found only $3 in wallet. Asked if they took cards. NO. Asked if they would take a check. Another NO. Asked if he could go get money from me. NO!! These adults would not let him through!! In fact, now he had to go back in the rain - find an open Chevron and use their ATM - and pay a three dollar fee to get enough cash to get into the game! This was ridiculous. This wasnt a Seahawks game. This is our kids playing football on a Friday night. Truthfully, they could and should have held his ID and he would’ve obviously come back to give them the three dollars since they needed the three dollars that bad!

Today we are here for a CCYF Titan game, and I made sure we had enough cash. All I can say is I’m glad games are at McKenzie rest of the year. And parents-make sure you have plenty of cash when at Kiggins games. They will refuse checks. And from what I can ascertain, in all due respect, plain common...

Amazing Middle school sports stadium. Absolutely beautiful, great seating and view. Great concession stand.

My only complaint is the concession stand was quite far from the standa (I had a medical boot on), and the steps from the stands to the field level to reach concessions, is quite steep and has...
