Really cool place, super nice inside. Great event host. Food is crazy priced, used to balance because entry was free, but now they charge to get in too...bummer! Also only way to buy a ticket is through your phone and the service is not the best in there. Buy your ticket before going.

Went here for a track meet for our youngest brother. The facility was really nice and look modernized. The event was really interesting because the competition was fierce. All the schools competing to be champions. The restaurant inside was great and, it was cool to see that they have a variety of options. The sports plex houses multiple events which is really neat. The place was very clean and organized. The negatives are the food at the restaurant is over priced and the sloped track (some athletes are running uphill more than others and I don't think the extra distance and effort are accounted for properly).

7FEB.2026 Went to Va. Bch Sports Ctr. On the wkend to see some wonderful sports meets and I had a wonderful time. Lots of food options and pricey. I brought my own food, drinks, and snacks. Ample seating. Make sure you have a well cushioned stadium seat. The aluminum seats are not comfortable. The sports center is high tech with the photo finish and digital clocks. I absolutely love it. Timing runners with stop watches are a thing of the past for some. Definitely inside of this sports center. The people the sports center hired to direct the runners off the graphite tracks, need news ones. The people need to leave the cell phones alone and properly direct the runners off the track and also need to be respectful of long distance runners that are lapped; so no runner has to deal with people walking across the track while runners are running. Wonderful time and experience in here.

My goodness, how many people does this place need to cram into a single weekend? Between volleyball and track the place was packed which meant nowhere to sit between events and a comically bad parking situation. The food was reasonably priced and okay. The bathrooms were horrific (even the men’s rooms!) and worst of all… this place was like an oven on a seasonably cool 65 degree day. They coulda opened the back doors and allowed for some cool air but the security folks were too strict about fire marshals or something.
