Absolute cluster! Parking is a nightmare as well as concessions. Ended up having to park over 2 miles away at "overflow parking" which ended up being the mall parking lot. No signs about shuttles or numbers to call. Luckily a shuttle was pulling up as we were parking. Once we got to the place it took 10 more minutes to get inside while standing in line to pay admission. No food or outside drinks allowed inside so you're forced to buy concessions from them which was an absolute cluster. Stood in line for over 20 mins before placing an order and then waited another 10 mins for food to be ready. No receipts or numbers given out just workers asking who had what at the pick up counter. Then during volleyball games you have people running through the games hardly any seating. I don't think this place should be able to host any tournaments or events until they get parking and concessions...

And you can tell your director I said that too”. I’ve heard amazing things about gateway tournaments, so when I was talked to this way within 10 minutes of being in the facility my jaw was on the floor and I felt very disappointed. This was just...

For a place that expects lots of people at one time they don't do a great job of managing it. Bathrooms are not kept up with, hard to find a trash cans, and doesn't make court etiquette reminders for people to move to common areas when their kids aren't playing. Allows people to leave their large backpack style bleacher seats set up as place holders on the few bleachers available while their team isn't playing. I know some of that falls on the people doing it and their own clubs for not saying hey don't be those people but we have been in ther places that do make overhead announcements reminding those that...
