I've been to many event over the past 40 or so years. This is a great venue. Parking is difficult. I've had good and bad experiences. Overall, I would recommend a visit here.

Too loud and disrespectful to other fans and teams. Especially when the other team had started a routine only to have the announcer yell into the microphone a score. Really frustrating. Won't be back.

Barnhill Church was awesome! People were very kind and helpful. Danny Gokey was too. I'm from Hannibal, Missouri visiting my daughter and son in love for Christmas and New Years in Siloam Springs, Arkansas.May Abba Father bless and keep you and your Church with love and growth.

Went to a Danny Gokey Christmas concert. It was a very clean and comfortable stadium. The bathrooms were clean, also.

Great place for games. Always a good view from most seats. Plan to walk a bit from parking areas. If not a student, there is paid parking in the structure, and free parking in the adjacent west parking lots after 5pm or so most days.
