Reviewing Amenities

Amenities:

Lets start this section with one of the first things I notice about a field. Bathrooms. Is there an adequate amount of bathroom facilities for the number of people who show up at the field. If it is a special event, has more bathrooms been added. Are they clean? If they are port-a-crappers are they serviced regularly?

The rest is pretty simple to impress me. Have enough parking spaces, some benches and tables for people to sit down between games and work on their gear, and some undercover spaces for when it rains. With that said, I saw a recent thing on TV. They served a meal to two groups of people. One group was served on paper plates and plastic cups and forks, the other had crystal, china and waiters and the food was arranged and garnished. Those at the “fancy” place reported that the food tasted significantly better than those who ate with the bare minimum of elegance. The lesson, if your place looks like a dump, you’re customers aren’t going to be expecting much.
