Civic Stadium

Nice place over all...

Great venue, a little dated but well maintained.

Nice rubberized track and astro turf field open to the public pretty much everyday, with large bathrooms. I skateboard and the worst experience I had there was one of the workers followed me into the bathroom and asked me if the skatepark bathroom was locked ? I felt completely embarrassed and targeted, and do everything I can to not use those bathrooms ever, especially with a skateboard in my hand . The bathrooms at the skatepark are usually drenched in piss and covered in graffiti to the point that you don't really want to touch anything so forgive me for wanting to use a different bathroom that was actually locked the day of my harassment. So that being said the skatepark is very close as well as many baseball fields the Sportsplex Ice Arena / soccer arena and the local swimming pool Arne Hanna. Local artist Ben Mann collaborated with the community and taught them how to do his style of painting, and mini murals on boards are spread throughout the Stadium with his technique. Don't camp in the parking lot you will be woken up by police and reminded that after dark this is a private lot not public. So if you have to sleep do it on a public Street and save yourself a mini heart attack. It seems like there is inconsistent enforcement of camping in the lot so you may get away with it one day but woken up the next. It just gives the appearance that it's a good spot to stay overnight but it's really not. Just go on a side road. Very rarely there are concerts held at the I wish there were more

It's a nice stadium don't get me wrong but why isn't it open to the public when there is nothing going on there? Our tax dollars paid for it, why can't we use it?

As old as the stadium is (I remember playing here back in the early 90's) it has held up pretty good. Turf seems good and the stands are nice.
