Max-McCook Athletics & Exposition Review

Staff is absolutely rude and angry at every costumer. Baskets are okay for open gym but the floor is ancient.

Really bad experience we came to max athletic exposition only played for about 40 minutes then they kicked us out just because the people that wanted to play there where older and took us to a field that was filled with people it was just rude and I don't recommend coming here it's just a bad experience or come if you want to get kicked out and also the fields are never open we call they say they are open then when we get there they say they are closed and waste our time

Great place to go to play sports indoors. Plus it has a bar for the parents.

Great facility for volleyball and baseball. Great location

Great place for winter indoor soccer games. Parking could be tricky sometimes on Sunday morning when there are many games.

Super friendly and accommodating staff, great b-ball and v-ball courts, convenient open gym hours

The "Max" is the best place I've seen in the area for winter soccer.

We celebrated my nephews birthday and he loved it. All the kids played soccer and really enjoyed themselves. The service was very clean and customer service was great. I highly recommend this place for your next birthday celebration.

Very clean. Daughter plays volleyball there and never a problem always have things ready to go and other activities there

CCG runs a poker event at this venue. They do a great job. I like the bar side for cash games. I do not like the gym side. They had a huge tournament today so the cash games were on the bar side. Fine by me. Like this set up better.

Not enough seating. Restrooms are clean. Cannot bring "outside food and drinks".

This place is huge. Nice facility. Needs more parking though.

Great place for football. The real one. The one you kick the BALL with your FEET.....

This place is huge. When my son is practicing baseball inside, there is also 2 soccer practices, jr tackle football, and volleyball going on in their own separate indoor areas. The parking is fairly good and there is a consession stand in the parent viewing area. There is also a pub that shares the parking lot, so it is close. The only issue is that you could drive pass this facility , if you don't know what you are looking for.

What a beautiful facility just needs more signs out on 47th Street so you know where it is

Great place to raise an athlete. Always something going on!!

Live Events volleyball basketball football soccer balloon house birthday parties

Granddaughter was at NAGA, North American Grappling Asso. First time going to event, just a long day, Building wad really nice inside.

Was just there for a vball tournament, bathrooms were clean. Not much more i can say.

Nice really big place for sports. The rooms dedicated for parties are just bare walls

The indoor facilities are pretty good. Parking is an issue especially if multiple games are going on

Place is huge with multiple sports going on at once. Nice lounge area and vending machines.

Nice facility. Parking is always a challenge on big events

Doesn't give correct information. Called 2 days before and asked for an open field. They said there was so we went and said they didn't . Not only did it take 20 minutes for a person to get to the front desk but 10 minutes to tel us we couldn't play.

The MAX is one of the best indoor facilities in the Chicagland area. Very few match the size, equipment and quality playing surface

The facility was extremely nice but why I'm rating this a 2 star is because of the employees when you first come in. They are more worried about their friends at the front counter and their phone. Sorry to say but first impression is everything.

First time there ,nice place for the winter months.

Went here for a Feis. Very nice place and very clean.

Ok place. Typical indoor open space arena with playing fields

This review is only for the Upper Gym as a basketball court - not for anything isn t he rest of the complex. Quite possibly the worst court I have ever been on. The gym has approximately 2 feet between the lines and wall. We were there for a game and they had put a line of folding chairs against one side for spectators and folding soft benches (like are used for outdoor sports) for players on the other side of the court. The scorers table was against the wall overhanging the court and scorer and scoreboard operator sat next to the table. And player substituting into the game had to walk on the court to get to the coach and scorer s table. Anyone sitting on the sidelines had their feet on the court. This creates a very dangerous situation for players. They couldn t even stand out of bounds to pass the ball in, the referee actually said the words, Don t worry about the sideline.

The other issue with this space is the court itself. The floor at first glance appears to be decent quality wood. The problem is that it seems to have been installed on top of a sponge. I have never felt a floor that was entirely dead. An over inflated ball barely bounced on it and you could actually feel the floor flex as players ran past. It also seems to have been cleaned improperly or coated with something that left an odd sticky film over the entire floor.

The rest of the facility looked very nice and if I was there to play soccer on the turf fields, I d be thrilled. But I am dreading the next time I need to take my team there to play basketball. I would seriously reconsider ever using the Upper Gym for any kind of basketball game - I would certainly never pay a dime for it. Maybe it s ok for a practice, but one of the worst courts ever if you need to play basketball in the Upper Gym. The Max should be embarrassed to even use that space for basketball.

Pretty decent family sporting place, a little bit pricey but worth the experience...

The place is ok but the entrance price is outrageous other than that the place ok

This place is great. However the chairs are painful to sit on.

Had a birthday party here. The prices were very reasonable for the aactives and food and the staff was great. Erica was a big help with booking.

Has a full sized field. Two full basketball courts off to the side. A private court elevated and sectioned off from the rest. The only drawback is that there aren't many bench seats available on the elevated spectator area. Bring your open foldable chairs to use here. If you don't you'll most likely be left standing. They do have concessions as well and a restaurant/Pub in the corner section of the sport area.

Amazing fields and courts. Need more places for spectators to sit... with higher seating. Awesome facility for indoor sports.

GREAT PLACE for our Area. Kids love it here the facility is top notch.

It was a nice wide open building with very good lighting. A good place to play some softball games in the middle of Winter time.

I was there for a birthday party so i couldn't give review about it.

The facility is nice the floors could be nicer, staff are great and I really enjoy going there

Great to bring the kids and have them do their activities but is getting a little run down and has a distinct odor upon entering....like a huge locker room.

Went here for a volleyball tournament. Very impressive facility. Soccer, baseball, volleyball, basketball, you name it. They have that.

I dont have any children who practice sports here, I can only comment on the "open-jump" room that they have during the week day. The area is not monitored for safety or sanitation. A group of parents begin congregating and drinking pitchers of beer in the middle of the tile floor, [caution; slippery when wet]. They have 3 inflatables. An obstacle course that loses air pressure, causing instability and injury. A enclosure/arena, and a Large 20ft high slide. It has so much grit or oil on it that the children hit resistance when trying to slide down. Causing them to roll or friction burn when continuing.

Stupid calendars say fields open when we come they say it s close, I even called the day before and said they were open. Never coming here

beautiful place, great sports space, friendly staff, all praise

Really nice place I was here for a fitness event very clean and lots of space.

Excellent athletic work out place...for children as well as adults and the food upstairs is great

Unparalleled indoor spring facility. Nothing close anywhere in the area.

Had a great time there!! Wanted to take my shoes off & enjoy your the AstroTurf!

2019 all american basketball showcase was in such a nice court and it was upstairs !!!

It's a great place for youth athletics.
They thought of everything except for where to seat the spectators/parents. Especially for Volleyball

E.F.T is a great place for High school kids to work out and get ready for up coming seasons.

First time to this place, and it is something crazy! Huge facility and the bar is a plus!

Poor design & poor service... The stadium didn't have appropriate seating, therefore, expect to stand by a railing with poles and netting obstructing your view. I missed the only goal that mattered trying to look around the pole! The concession stand served cold, stale Home Run Inn pizza and Hershey's candy bar that was soft on the verge of melting and all this after waiting for the lady to end her personal call. She informs you that they don't support the vending machines if you lose money there and proceeded to give me a few ripped dollar bills (when I asked her for change) which I couldn't use in the vending machine. No problems with vending machines... drinks, snacks, and ice cream except only one takes card and the others $1 bills and change. Spent $23 for 2 good sodas from concessions and 2 ice cream bars from vending.

Huge facility, not good for softball. Concessions stays open late.

What a wonderful facility it's extremely clean and just incredibly run. The employees are very nice to the people who come here too use the facil or hang around too watch their children while there practicing this is a 10 star business

The facilities are in great condition and the views are good.

Charge a fortune for kids leagues, then charge you admission to watch, what a joke

Great friendly soccer/baseball/basketball/volleyball complex!
