点评:Dicks Sporting Goods Park, home of the Rapids....sometimes you go just to watch the other team.
The stadium itself is workable. Let's not dwell on the Rapids themselves, since most of the time the other team is going to be the reason to attend a match. But, this is a review of the location not the team...
Dicks Sporting Goods Park...is sort of plopped down in a suburban community (not just sort of...it is). No public transportation and entirely car dependent. That means that parking is relatively ok coming in, always a mess on departure. The location is simply not meant ot handle the amount of car required movement at the end of the night.
Seating and sightlines have always been decent (4 matches so far, all with different seats). I would not reccomend the south-end supporters section though having not sat there I can't speak from personal experience but it doesn't look comfortable or have a good view.
Honestly...the fans are a part of the negative experience. A whole lot of not family friendly expressions. It's MLS....the vitriol is a bit much.
Concessions are a big miss. Absolutely the bare minimum and nothing memorable.
As other have said the lack of a big screen for highlights/replays is a missed opportunity and matches could benefit from some sort of ambiance....they just feel dead...much like the play on the pitch but that's a different review.
翻译:迪克斯体育用品公园,即拉皮兹队的主场……有时候人们去那里只是为了观看对方球队的比赛。
体育场本身还算能用。咱们就不多谈拉皮兹队了,因为大多数时候,人们去看比赛都是因为想看对方球队。不过,这篇评论针对的是场地环境,而非球队本身……
迪克斯体育用品公园有点像是直接建在某个郊区社区里(其实不只是有点……它就是这样)。这里没有公共交通,完全依赖汽车出行。也就是说,入场时停车情况还算可以,但离开时就乱成一团了。这个场地根本无法应对深夜时大量车辆进出所带来的需求。
座位安排和视线角度一直都还不错(目前看了4场比赛,座位位置各异)。不过我不推荐南端的球迷区——虽然我没在那里坐过,所以无法以亲身经历来评价,但那个区域看起来既不舒适,视野也不好。
说实在的……这些球迷也是糟糕观赛体验的一部分——他们说了很多不适合在家庭中聆听的粗俗话语。毕竟这是MLS联赛……这种恶言恶语实在有些过分了。
食品饮料供应方面也做得极差,仅提供了最基本的种类,毫无特色可言,完全不值得回味。
正如其他人所说,没有用于播放精彩片段或回放的大屏幕实在是个遗憾;比赛其实需要一些氛围来烘托……现在的赛场氛围实在沉闷压抑……这和场上的比赛表现倒也相似,不过那就是另一篇评论要讨论的内容了。
