MidAmerica Sports Center East

"Tough review for this place. It has the potential, but clearly it's not managed well. Parking is terrible, no spots required alot of people to park across the road. The cost to get in was $22 a person to watch a kid's sport that we already pay thousands for her to play and there is basically no seating so be prepared to stand for hours. They are the highest cost location we have been to so far. The concession stand is rough, out of stock on alot of stuff but prices were really high, they don't let you bring in outside food to be prepared not to eat all day. The staff was mostly hanging out, on phones or walking around, they didn't seem interested in much else. Those are the core issues. We had a tournament there and the roof was leaking, leaving players literally playing in puddles that coaches were wiping up in-between each play, kids basically needed an umbrella to stay dry on the court. Not sure if Abel construction connected at the other end of the building to them owns the building and should have handled it, but either way the schedule should have been changed to avoid it. The scoreboards don't work at all, they had to use paper scoreboard which were basically useless for the parents. Basic part of sports is keeping score, they don't have that here, at least functioning at the time of our visit. This needs to be fixed asap. This is the only place we have travelled to that couldn't maintain working scoreboards. I will mention the seating again, its brutal but that's if you can even get a spot. More than likely, you will need to stand and do that in a place that won't interfere but also allows you to see the game. No outside seating of course. For some reason kids are obsessed with Stanly cups, welp.. banned. All kids showed up and were told no one could bring in their water, perfect for an all day tournament where the concessions are all sold out.. They say the cups can leak.. I agree maybe a few drops if knocked over and left for a minute. No worse than water pouring in from the roof leak. So while kids can play with water dropping on them and all over the court, they can't bring in a cup risking a few drops off court. Overall, this place could be really good, but as of today, it's the worst place we have had to travel to. The costs are the highest we have seen across the board, bad concession and ignored facilities, our family does not look forward to returning, many of the other families agreed and it was noted with the league. Too bad, great location for us, right off the highway. I hope the owner sees this and starts address these issues or leagues won't continue using the location."

"Nice facility, but 2 different lights flashing over the game court, $28 for 4 adults and a kid to get in, concession stand not offering anything warm or cooked, could be better"

"My dad had a cornhole tournament here and it was really loud don't get me wrong but they seem to love it the cornhole people seemed pretty nice there."

"Took my daughter for a volleyball clinic. She had a hard time with anxiety and went to the restroom to have a minute to herself and a lady named Marsha or Masha let an entire group of boys and girls go into the womens restroom to wash their hands with an assumption that nobody was in there. When I saw the group walking in, I said “hey my daughter is in there” and they just kept piling in. We left and I attempted to call the center to report this lady and got sent to voicemail. Voicemail inbox is full. Definitely not coming back to this place. Horribly unprofessional and disrespectful moms should stay home."
