My friend's company had their annual company party this past weekend here. The location itself was pretty large and easily accessible. There were several different parking structures within walking distance and the signage was very easy to read. The staff was helpful and friendly. I would attend another event here for sure!

Drove down to check out a gaming convention. This is my first time checking the scene. It was cool to see all the dota 2 personalities up close. Great set up, great energy, lots of staff, pretty chill. There were food trucks outside and vendors inside. And I loved how they had all the team logos up on the front entrance who were competing. Very welcoming.
Two critiques: Lots of security (which is good) but felt like most were redirecting foot traffic. Most were probably walking from parking, and you had to walk around the building to the front. Meanwhile you pass a couple of entrances which were used by the players and staff. Secondly, I wish some of the vendors stayed longer. One of the matches dragged on and I wish beer and food was available.
Overall, i had a fun time. I thought it was organized well and the staff were friendly and helpful. It was an all day thing so take breaks. I took breaks walking to my car and to a mini mart couple blocks away, maybe bring a cushion. I do wish the cafe and food/beer vendors were opened til later for unexpected longer games, but I also get it. I drove from NJ to check this out. I'm thankful the event was organized well and i got to go. Now I can comfortably enjoy highlights on YouTube next time lol

FETNA 2025 was an amazing experience here! A huge venue right in the heart of the city, with easy access to Marriott and nearby hotels. Spacious, well-organized, and perfect for big events. Loved spending 3 days here!
