@the Grounds

I went to the place for two special occasions, which were my senior prom and to see a fireworks show on the 4th of July with my family, both of these were a few months ago during my last high school year. The Grounds is a really cool place to host concerts, dances, proms, sporting events, conventions, and many more events as well. 💖💝

Grounds and Facilities are kept clean and well maintained. Parking is plentiful but often $15 per day. Gym facilities are nice with bleacher seating and clean bathrooms. No outside food in the gym facilities, but plentiful food trucks just outside.

I've only been there as a Vendor to the Sac Anime Spring events the last 3 easter weekends (2025, 2024, 2023) and loved the grounds location every time!! Ample parking, spacious grass area for kids n adults alike, and the location staff have been communicative! I have heard that the convention does plan to move but I do hope to go to events at this location as a guest in the future given my positive views of it.

Here at the grounds tonight, there’s people lighting sparklers on the grass. I get a clear as day video to show security and security proceeds to go to the wrong family even though we said over and over they were the wrong ones and showed them the video. They then walk up and down around the family making them uncomfortable while still blatantly ignoring the people that lit fireworks. 10/10 will never be back, multiple people around us said the same thing as well.

This RV campground is very odd. It is located kind of wedged in next to the event center and right behind the main office, but you can't access it from that office as it is gated off. Instead, you drive through a very large parking lot and wind your way to the very small (10 spaces?) RV area, which is difficult if not impossible for anyone unfamiliar to get too. It is quiet and the hookups are fine. Very no frills place, but usually has openings in a pinch.

This was my first time here and I brought my mom and the Gem, and minerals event was great. Fun looking at all those rocks. Lots of great items. My mom even won the raffle and was able to pick a gift. Fun time

The referees were great, and the property itself looked nice, but overall, the experience didn’t match the high cost or expectations. The boys’ side of the tournament had a small turnout—just seven teams, four from two clubs—but the girls’ side was much larger. The building felt overcrowded, with full teams sitting on the floor, in hallways, and in walkways. It made it hard to move around and created a stressful environment. There was no clear system for where teams should go, which added to the chaos. Parking was $15 a day, and the staff managing it weren’t helpful—mostly sitting around, not directing traffic or assisting guests. Coming into the venue was also hectic due to vendors set up near the front entrance, making it even harder to get inside smoothly. The bathrooms were modern and clean in design, but often out of supplies like toilet paper and paper towels. Despite strict food policies (including security escorting families out for bringing snacks), trash was all over the place, which didn’t make sense and felt poorly managed. We also had issues with communication from the event coordinator. Even with follow-up emails, we weren’t told how small the boys’ division would be until we arrived. When teams asked to condense the schedule to save part of their holiday weekend, the organizer made teams handle it themselves instead of stepping in to help. For what we paid—for team registration, daily parking, and entrance fees—it just wasn’t worth it. The event needs better organization, clearer communication, and a more thoughtful approach to guest experience.

The venue is great but parking has increased to $15, which I thought was excessive. It cost more to park than it cost to attend The Great Junk Hunt. The combination of both costs is going to make me rethink whether it's worthwhile to attend anything there.
