Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse

I suggest checking the event schedule ahead of time. Some games have special promotions, and you might snag better tickets or discounts! I got lucky during a promo night.

Don’t skip the merchandise shop! Their gear can be a little pricey, but I found some cool items that were worth it. Just look for discount bins!

I recommend getting there around 6:00 PM if it's a night game. You’ll have enough time to explore the arena and maybe catch some pre-game activities.

I think grabbing food before the game can save you a ton! The food inside is pricey and not that great. Try a local spot for a good meal.
Full Throttle Adrenaline Park

Bring a light sweater or jacket, it can get a bit chilly in the indoor area. I wasn't prepared and had to buy a hoodie at the gift shop – pricey!

I suggest booking your karting session online to save some cash. They often have deals that aren't available at the door, plus you won't have to wait in line!

I recommend checking the weather before your visit. If it's raining, plan for the indoor activities first, as the track might be closed. Better to have a backup plan!

My advice is to arrive around 10 AM when the park opens. It gets super crowded later and you won't get as much time on the track
Billy Goat Trail

Watch out for the rocky areas! I stumbled a few times because I wasn't paying attention. Just keep your eyes on the ground especially after rain when it can get slippery.

I recommend wearing good hiking shoes. I wore regular sneakers, and my feet were killing me by the end. Trust me, you’ll want that extra support on the rugged paths.
Progressive Field

Make sure to check on the food options beforehand! I suggest trying the sausage stand; it's super popular and a must-have... Just don’t wait until the 7th inning to go for it!

Use the restroom right after the National Anthem. I thought I could wait until after the first inning, but the line was crazy and I missed a play!

I found that parking near the stadium can get real pricey and fills up fast. So, consider taking public transport or park a bit further away and walk to save some cash.

If you can swing it, I recommend grabbing a seat in the outfield; you get a good view and it's usually cheaper. Trust me, it’s a fun vibe!
Great American Ball Park

I suggest you get there at least an hour before game time. The atmosphere is awesome with pre-game activities and you can grab some food without the rush.

My experience was way better when I parked at the street meter nearby. It's cheaper than the lot, and walking a bit is a nice stretch!

I recommend exploring the Great American Ball Park's Legacy Wall... It's a cool spot to snap some pics and learn about the Reds' history without spending much time

I think bringing a refillable water bottle is a must. They have water fountains inside, and staying hydrated saves some cash while you enjoy the game!
Nationwide Arena

When you buy tickets, look for deals online beforehand. I got a 10% discount on my seats through a promo code that popped up while I was browsing. Saved some cash!

I think being mindful of your seat location is key. If you're not looking to spend a fortune, sit in the upper levels but still get a good view; I sat lower once and couldn't see the whole rink for all the heads!

For drinks, buy extra early. I waited until the event started and missed half the first period getting a beer. It would have been better if I grabbed it during warm-ups instead!
Check out the food options before the game. I found a great pizza spot inside, but the lines were super long. My advise is to eat a light meal before and grab snacks while watching the game!
Heritage Bank Center

My advice is to check out the parking situation before you go. I thought I found a good spot, but it was a nightmare after the game. Look for nearby parking apps to save your sanity.

Do not miss the food options! I didn’t realize how good the local vendors were. I recommend trying something unique instead of the usual hot dogs, like a regional specialty.

I think you should arrive around 6 PM for a 7 PM game. That way you’ll have enough time to soak in the vibe, grab refreshments, and maybe score some cheap merch before the game starts.
Summit Motorsports Park

Arrive early, like around 10 AM, to snag a good parking spot and avoid the chaos. Trust me, you don’t want to be stuck looking for a spot when the races are about to start.
BOSS Pro-Karting and Axe Throwing

If you get hungry after all that karting, I think checking out their snack bar is worth it. I tried the nachos, and they were a solid choice without breaking the bank.

Plan to arrive around 30 minutes early to get checked in and go through the safety briefing. We thought we could just walk in and race but ended up rushing!

I recommend wearing comfy clothes and closed-toe shoes. I made the mistake of wearing sandals and it wasn't a good idea for the karting tracks.
Value City Arena

I suggest checking the arena's website for promo codes on tickets before you buy. I saved a few bucks this way!
I would recommend bringing your own snacks. The snack prices inside are a bit wild, and you'll want something to munch on during the game.

My advice is to arrive by 5:30 PM if you're going on a game night. The traffic can be a nightmare but earlier parking is way easier.

I think the best food spots are outside the arena. The vendors are cheaper and tastier, so save your cash for that instead of arena food!
