We were here for a cheer competition, so as a venue, the event center was decent, but not without it's problems.

PROS: plenty of parking, the swap meet was adjacent, so while waiting for results, our families could shop or eat at the swap meet. Inside the actual arena, restrooms were easy to find, clean and well stocked. I cannot speak for the restrooms on the swap meet side.

CONS: we had quite a long wait after performing, but the only place to sit was inside the arena. There were no tables outside the swap meet provided for families to sit during our six hour wait. The few tables inside the swap meet by the food vendors were in the sun and crowded with people fighting for seats so they could eat.

As venues go, it would have been nice to have shaded areas for families to sit since we had a six hour wait. Shopping is fine, but six hours in the direct sun is not fun. It is spacious, but space was one of the few positive attributes it had to offer. If you have to attend an event here and have a long wait, be prepared to sit on hard concrete in the direct sun, fight for the few shady areas sitting against buildings, or walk the swap meet for hours on end. This was not a favorite venue for a cheer competition.
