Event was great, however the traffic congestion to gain entry was horrendous. However, the traffic leaving the event was much better as was manually controlled and lanes closed to prevent build up. Similar approach should have been used for entry.
Facilities in the stadium were great with plenty of food outlets.
Great event and smooth experience
Easy to get to and loads of parking.
Stewards were all great and helpful.
The athletics was good to watch, and a good view from the seats.
The games out out for the kids were well used, perfect for when our son wanted a break.
Food was a bit costly for what it was, but overall a good day out.
I have given this event two goes now. once round the far side, and one round the other side. I won't be doing it again. All they need is two large screens so that everyone can see everything, I cannot believe that a major event such as this is conducted without large screens. You can't even seen all of the small screens, no matter where you sit. What I saw was great. There was so much I couldn't see.
The Athletics was good but the day was let down by the poor services at the venue and the music was far too loud.
Such a great event. The stadium is really suitable for that event. The athletes were amazing. Staff and security were friendly and helpful. Plenty of clean toilets. Only thing missing...not enough choice of food available
Great day very well organised
The commentary was great and so was the athletics
The Athletics, Athletes, Events, Commentary were absolutely amazing, my first time experiencing athletics at this level and it was great. The stadium staff however, not so much, none of them seem to be able to think like a human and only do the tasks they've been told to do and cannot deviate, my pregnant wife had to walk the entire outside circle of the stadium instead of 50-60 meters across as we had to go in our entrance, a bit of human compassion would have been spot on.
Great value sport and entertainment and seeing the best UK athletes
Been to British Athletics Champs a few times in the past and it's always a really great event filled with non-stop action. Really worth going even if you're new to athletics events
Attended the athletics on 7-8 -22 (am) after paying £125 per ticket , we were on the back straight , was most disapointed with our view as couldn't see start or finishes of races as big screens not good enough . If you are going to charge big prices for seats @ least check out the views & improve the big screens . That said organisation on the day was outstanding !!!
Just back from first day of Commonwealth Games athletics. Although we paid £50 each for our seats the view of the events from block 126 was very poor.Everything seemed to be happening on the other side of the arena. Even the large screens had light fittings blocking part of the view! Info screens for the field events were also difficult to see and very confusing when TWO groups were competing in the same event e.g. long jump. Also as several events took place at the same time it was not possible to show every thing we could not see on the large screens.
On the whole we would have been better saving our money and watching it on TV.
This is a great shame as we have attended many events at the Alexander in the past and always enjoyed them. This unfortunately was poorly planned from a spectators point of view made worse because we were allocated seats and so had no chance to obtain the view we would have liked.
