This was an awesome and well organized event. First time ever cricket in the United States...a long time coming. Can't wait to enjoy more cricket in the US! Awesome, awesome, awesome time!
The only things I didn't like was that the seat number isn't revealed until AFTER you purchase the ticket at this venue. You also cannot see which seats were available for purchase and which ones are reserved. The $10 parking was right at the south grounds entrance, the $15parking was further and seemed to be in another time zone!! HOT, HOT, HOT and now bottled water allowed in but they want you to purchase their $5 bottled water inside..typical Aside from that, I had a GREAT weekend!! It was HOT, some people forgot to prepare and stood in the isles as the sun set in their areas. I met Joel Garner, Darren Sammy and the Refs, excited for next year. Looking forward to seeing a packed crowd in 2013 and maybe an additional ODI in Toronto?!?!!!

me being a cricket lover was very excited for watching cricket live in usa.looking forward for more matches
The cricket was great but, for the amount of money charged for the "Party Stand" there should have been some seating arrangements. The abence of seating made the event strenuous, and distracted from the cricket lovely cricket!
Great experience, atmosphere , entertainment, game
Enjoyable experience, will likely be developed into a world class venue with some kinks to be sorted out, like easy entrance into the stands. Took almost an hour in line, under the scorching sun, to get to our reserved seating. The position of some of the photographers, and their umbrellas, were obstructing specators' view in the lower West Stands. Needs a giant screen scoreboard or a traditional one to show specators the proceedings of the match. More vendors with much more varity is needed to satisy the thirst and hunger. These are the negatives. The positives, I will definitely go again if the match consists of quality teams, like West Indies, England, Australia,India or South Africa. The nightly entertainment in Ft.Lauderdale is super !!!
Ground is nice only thing they need to put better scorebaord.
It was a decent first time experience watching international cricket in the USA. The pitch seems to have been slightly improved compared to 2010. But the runs flowed really because the boundary was brought in 10-15 yards which is not exactly the right long term solution. There was too much distance between the barricaded stands and the action on the field.
Love love it... West Indies did an awesome job:)I will attend any time their's a cricket game in Florida...
Great experience, Good to see carribean team play in florida. Will be great to have night game under lights in future.
The events was very good. I do hope we can have at least one event like that every year. However, there could have been more server walking around selling things to eat and drinks. The Bar ran out of ice and drinks. Hopefully, there will be more than enough the next time. I will be there again with the entire Orlando Softball Cricket Leage.
Got there 45 minutes before the match. Parking was a disorganized mess. Nobody knew where to go. Paid another 15.00 to drive past empty parking lots next to the arena and end up half a mile away.10 minutes left before match starts, walk back to arena and a thousand people are mobbed outside trying to get through SECURITY which consists of 2 people going through bags, then 2 xray machines. All of these people trying to get in and only 2 at a time can get through. A total chaos. People yelling, the match already starting, standing in line in the blazing sun waiting. We gave up and went home. A mess. Waste of time and money. Too bad no stars wasn't an option in this review.
This was a most exciting event. The people, the energy, the cricket, the music and lots of food and fun. The only downside is that the city address given on the ticket was "Ft. Lauderdale" and for those of us from out of town, it was difficult to find. Thanks Digicel. Let's do it again.
This place was so energetic during the match and wish to be back here for an India vs. West Indies match if one is planned in the near future.
Great facility. The crowd was amazing. Parking was well organized. Security was excellent. I hope we don't have to wait another two years to get another series here.
It was cricket in America but the organization was NOT "first world"! From getting into the car park, picking up tickets and getting into the ground all was chaos. The organizers appeared not to not have expected such a huge crowd and had far too few entrances and no crowd control barriers. Picking up tickets was a slow process as the same 2 people had to issue both pre-paid tickets and day of play tickets. By Sunday there were big improvements in access to the car park and crowd control at the entrance to the ground. For a West Indies match it was very quiet - no "rhythm sections" and little music but the cricket part was fine.
Very disappointed in the overall organization of this event. First of all, when purchasing the tickets, we were unable to print the electronic tickets as we are from Bermuda and had to collect at Will Call. Why I can print tickets for every other event and not this one I don't know! I purchased the tickets as a gift for Father's Day for my boyfriend and his friend. I was not attending but gave him the receipt to collect the tickets. I also gave him my credit card as this was the card used to purchase the tickets. I would have thought this would be sufficient. Upon arrival at the Park,, 45 min early they were not allowing anyone to enter the parking lot without tickets. They would not accept the confirmation as a ticket. How are you supposed to get to the ticket booth without parking!?! There was chaos everywhere. They then had to wait over an hour in a ticket line only to be then told that they had to go to another line somewhere else. Then, they were told that they couldn't collect the tickets; that I had to be there. Throughout this hour and a half experience there were thousands of other people lined up in the hot sun waiting in lines and experiencing similar frustrations. Tempers were high and the crowd was getting hostile. There appeared to be no organized entrance and people were being sent this way and that! After finally entering the complex (almost 2 hrs later), they proceeded to their section only to find that they had NO SEATS. I purchased, what I thought was PREMIUM SEATS for $75 each only for them to find out that there were no seats in this section. THe tickets clearly state Section and Seat #'s!! I am appauled and dissatisfied! To find out that for only $20 General Admission entrants not only had seats but also shade furher adds insult to injury!! I use Ticketmaster all the time and have never had this experience. This was supposed to be a special gift and amazing experience that turned into a total frustrating event! They actual had to leave early just to avoid the chaos upon leaving. They heard many people complaining and saying that they would never come back for day 2.
If possible do something so the general public can relate to the players. A handbook giving a short history of the players and management. A player by player introduction of the starting eleven by the PA. I thought it was a very good effort in all regards.
Great venue, great action! Scoreboard malfunctioned and entering the venue was a little chaotic. Overall a great experience though.
