Attended a field hockey tournament here. Viewing area had plenty of room for fans of multiple teams, but the facility looked and felt dingy inside. It was a rainy day, and although there were no visible leaks, the air indoors felt damp.

This facility needs improvement and upkeep. It is frigid in the winter as the heat is never on, the bathrooms are only a slight upgrade to a port-a-pottie, and the playing surface becomes dangerous if the humidity is too high. Compound those issue with the two small dogs who run loose around the facility and one quickly tires of their time spent there.

The only good thing about today's visit is that no one died. Obviously I'm overstating things a bit, but girls on every team that played were slipping and falling and going into splits during every single game on the floor. All the teams that played are fortunate no one shredded a knee or slipped and got a concussion. The floor was a complete joke. It wasn't even level. There were several times where players were waiting for a restart and the ball rolled away from them as they looked at the official waiting for the go.
