The Premier Sports Campus at Lakewood Ranch

"Great fields. Easy access. Nice people."

"This is a nice area for sports and games. The fields are maintained nicely, and there are food and coffee vendors lined up along the fields. The field playing space is huge. The reason for the four stars includes issues with traffic flow and parking, which is a nightmare during pretty much any sporting event."

"Hosted the 2023 USAFL Nationals Tournament in October this year. One of, if not the best fields I have played on in the US. Large open parking lot, plenty of space outside of the fields and all in all a great venue."

"This is a very nice sports facility and very large. However, trying to get into the facility for any large event is a disaster. For example, if your GPS says 45 minutes to arrive from your home, automatically make that a full hour. Secondly, they have a decent variety of foods at the concession but expect to pay. A make it yourself snow cone was $8. For a moment, I thought I was at Disney."

"I do not like ranking this beautiful place a 2. However, I will due to a hot-headed "known" referee with a power trip. I will start my review with this refree and will end on a very positive note. This was our our very first game here after flying from Missouri for a tournament. The game starts, and the teams are tied up on skill-set. We scored the first point, and then all of a sudden, the other team was off sides, and they scored a point. The coach said something about it to the ref, and the ref yellow carded the coach. The coach asked why, and then the ref carded him agai n and told him to leave the field! Our coach left without a scene. Then the game resumed, and once again, the other team scored again with them being off sides. So, with the teams' morale, they fighted and we scored our 2nd point. Eventually, the other team scored 2 points. There were so many fouls not called thatnit was a joke. Now, you might think we are saying this since we lost the game. No, this is not the case. We had to have 2 people fill in from this club, and we were told by people from this club about this ref having a power trip. We had contacted the club during the game, and they sent over someone to watch the ref. During the game, the ref started making better calls. Was it due to us calling in? Honestly, we do not know. Had the proper calls been made, the score would have been 2 to 2. Our last 2 games with other teams were wins, and we shut out the other 2 teams. We did not see the one referee ref anymore of our games as the lead ref. In our last game, that ref was working the side lines. Overall, the complex is beautiful, and the staff is great. We would highly recommend this complex as long as you don't have to deal with this refree. Maybe this man will improve his attitude after this post, who knows. I wish this place and all of the teams that visit a pleasant a good game. Cheers, Matthew"
