Great place to watch a soccer game! Restrooms were clean, seats were aluminum benches so bring your seat back if you have one. Small stadium so easy to move around and check everything out while enjoying the game. Lots of great food vendors and a huge variety of local beers to choose from. Wonderful atmosphere to take the entire family, the kids love it! Ticket prices are quite reasonable and the experience is well worth it, we will be going again soon!

What a great place. We may use just been here for a special event with our booth but the staff was amazingly nice. I will be going back to actually watch the entire game soon! The field is beautiful and the fans are very fun! Also there are so many kids who love soccer that it warmed my heart! Even if your not a soccer fan I think it would be a fun place to check out! High energy and high fun!

Good game, plenty of fun, great prices for sitting along the first base line.

Two stars because the players are nice. Everything else, including the lady who is in charge is awful. Seats are not clearly marked, and neither are sections. There are only a few vendors, so you can spend half a game standing in line. The worst part is the lack of professionalism. I was part of an entire section that was screamed at (loud, high pitched . . . not an exaggeration of the word) due to a coroplast wall being knocked over by someone. When one of the other women in the section asked that the screaming stop due to the children watching, she was kicked out.

Kicked us out of the stadium because of a lightening warning. We UBered there and had no where to shelter as they told everyone to go to their cars. The most unprofessional and FAT security team told us it was safer to evacuate than stand under lightning protected facilities. Baseball game next door still going on!!! What a cheap and terrible stadium!! What a JOKE of a staff. What a JOKE paying money to see a game and getting kicked out for insufficient facilities. DO NOT ATTEND

Just a simple stadium. Not stroller friendly and the food/beverages could have been more interesting.

Great venue, theres really not a bad seat in the house. Only problem is that in inclimate weather, there is no shelter. Pic is from Section 100.

It is a fine pitch for what it is for. I wish the bleachers were a little more comfortable. One way to majorly improve the seating would be to widen the individual seat width. It is not as if the events are packed I feel like I am trying to park an Escalade in a compact only slot. Also, the concessions are far too expensive. I refuse to spend $4.00 for a 16.4 ounce bottle of water. You can buy a 30 pack for that

The food is good and priced well but the drinks are 4 DOLLARS. I can get two drinks for that much at King Soopers.

Pretty good stadium. Need more signage to find seats. Couldnt find a water fountain. The announcer was hard to hear in the section I sat in.

My kids love Soccer. This is always fun. Not a bad seat there.

Review №24

Awesome games to watch but they have bench metal seating. Be sure to plan ahead as it does get chilly towards the evenings. Also $1 beers when the gate opens an hour before the game. Great deals and its pretty family friendly. Everyone should go at least once!

Great place for a concert. Scotty Mccreary is a really good performer on stage.

Review №26

Enjoyed the Switchbacks vs Toros match. Seats are close to the field, enhancing spectators experience. Parking adequate, $5 per vehicle. Seating on both sides of playing field. Food venues appear to only be behind east stadium seats. We were seated on the west side.

My daughter and I have season tickets here and we absolutely love this place, everything from the fans to the food and 1$ beers.

Mi
Review №28

Small stadium, so all seats are decent. The soccer is poor, the crowd mostly disinterested, rarely building up any excitement. For parking, they had just one attendant per entrance and declared one lot full when there were dozens of spaces still left. To enter, the line was ridiculously long because there were only two ticket checkers with machines that worked one out of the scans. People are friendly and helpful, so thats nice.

A nice environment with good concessions and family-friendly people who celebrate the local military community. The soccer team, Switchbacks, have many new players and have struggled a bit this year.

Just moved to Colorado Springs and great place to watch soccer.

Mi
Review №37

Its an old high school soccer field so dont get super excited when your friend tells you they got a suite for the game... Its 100% outside and not the suites youre expecting at the Rapids, Nuggets and Broncos, but again this is an old high school stadium for a semi-professional soccer club! Great atmosphere and the fans are super loyal!

Ky
Review №38

The parking isn’t great but I live in walking distance so that’s not a problem for me. What is a problem is when people think it’s okay to overrun my neighborhood to walk to the field. That isn’t the venues fault though. I love going to games here and will continue to come back. There is not a lot of cover if the sun is beating down or it’s windy though so dress appropriately.

Great stadium! My wife, kids, and myself had a blast at the Switchbacks game tonight!

Great entertainment until you have a lot of people - they cannot handle more than 500 fans - more than that they take way too long for entry and run out of food

Good stadium with decent priced snacks and stands there. Bathrooms are kept clean. Whats better than rooting for your hometown switchbacks? $1 beers if you show up at 5. Its always a great place to be

Hey idiots!! Turn down the music at your damn concert. Its a Thursday night and us hard working tax payers have to get sleep and wake up in the morning. If we wanted to hear that garbage music we would have come to the concert. Week night concerts in a residential area are disrespectful you idiots. I cant imagine how many children youre keeping awake on a school night you disrespectful morons. My friend could hear the music and understand the lyrics they were singing and their house is a mile away!! NO MORE WEEK NIGHT LATE CONCERTS JERKS!

Fun field with open space, room for concessions, and good views of playing field. Is a bit cramped being right next to Security Service Field. Still a fun time.

Review №47

Had a great time going to a couple games over the summer. The facility and field are always clean. I would recommend getting something to eat prior to getting there, as the concessions are very expensive.

Review №48

Pea-sized hail fell on the field just before the game started at 6 pm. Officials postponed the game for 1.5 hours. By the time kickoff came around, the sun was going down, and the temperature was in the low 50s. These conditions left many people unprepared including my friend. I had a blanket in my car, and after several conversations with security, he was told that he could not re-enter the stadium. Security claimed safety issues, but they have plenty of staff to check everyones bags. However, we witnessed a few other people were allowed back in. As we were pleading with security, a long line formed to purchase sweatshirts from the fan shop. I believe Weidner has a no re-entry policy to force you to buy everything at extortion level prices. What if I forgot my sons diapers in the car? Would security tell me to purchase a t-shirt and use it as a diaper? I will not be coming back, and I will be telling all of my friends not to support this business.

Review №55

We could not have been more disappointed. This evening was freezing... so if course no one was adequately prepared. Despite the kickoff being 1.5 hours late, we stayed to watch the game. Our friend left to get a blanket as it was windy and extremely cold. However, he was not allowed to re enter. Many our our petitions were not heard or considered to let this paying customer back in! We even offered to pay for a ticket again to no avail! Horrible venue! Terrible policies! High prices for everything. Needless to say we will not be going back as paying customers.

How rude of you to schedule an outdoor live concert in a residential neighborhood...not to mention on a Thursday during the school year. People and their children need SLEEP. I could hear the concert with my windows closed and cotton balls in my ears 2.5 miles away from the stadium. Have some respect people!

Not happy with the no re entry policy on the night of the Deadmans Brewfest. It was absolutely freezing, which maybe you could have inferred before walking into the event, but if you got in & were freezing, like I was, they wouldnt let you back in. Of course I took it to the next level and assured I would be let back in after making it out to my car in the lot, but for the others the only options left to them were 1. Freeze, maybe buy one of the $35 switchback scarfs or 2. Leave. I was not happy with that at all. I believe this event could have used alot, alot more planning and it would have been a lot funner of an experience for myself and the group I went with.

The events are typically pretty fun here. Ive been to soccer games, beer fests, etc. The crew whether volunteer or paid are always friends and in good spirits. The only small complaint I have is the lack of time to gather refreshments or food as the lines are usually extremely long. I also constantly receive telemarketing calls for the Switchbacks after my first visit which I do not want.
