Duck's Stadium Opened in 1993, the Honda Center, formally know as the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim, is a venue that hosts several events, such as concerts, ice shows, the circus, and various athletics. Yet it is the 2007 Stanley Cup Champions, the Anaheim Ducks, that dominate the scene. Terming the Honda Centers nickname the Pond, or simply Duck's Stadium, by the local crowd. Despite the team's vast gift shop, the Duck's memorabilia rarely decorates the amphitheater's halls, creating a versatile atmosphere for any performance. Regardless, the Honda Center's expensive parking, food/beverages, and seating, leaves me skeptical of my return. Located off the 57, 22, 5, 91, and 55 freeways, the Honda Center resides on the outskirts of Katella Avenue's night life. The stadium's entrance sits parallel to the Santa Ana Riverbed, continuing south to the horizon, covered by the numerous strategically placed palm tress. Inside the Honda Center, the hallways of the arena is covered in over 200,000 square feet of marble, brought in from around the world. Still, the numerous floor to ceiling color scheme of cream, coral, and brown marble tile, was not …show more content…
The shameful Honda Center's customer service, then, was a complete disappointment. I recall a cashier rolling her eyes at me, when asked if a drink came with any of the items. Lacking of pleasant smiles, I was often treated as a burden. Which did not fend well, with the amount for food and drink. Found in the generic booth, the Classics, nachos covered only in cheese, ran for about six dollars, and four small chicken tenders were eight dollars, taxing on an extra charge for dressing. Light beers like Miller, capped at ten dollars and fifty cents, while premium drafts, easily skyrocketed to eleven dollars and fifty cents. All completely understandable if the quantity, quality, and service were exceptional, which it was
The purpose of this memorandum is to recognize a new business, the Brunswick Corona Lanes to the City of Corona, CA. Based off a variety of different demographics, a bowling alley is an ideal business to add to the city that would appeal to the majority of residents living in the community.
The halls of the Center softly whisper out “Bob Martinez” over and over after its re-dedication in 2013. Martinez was born and raised in Tampa. He

Newly Renovated Arena: updated game clock/ score board; hundreds of televisions added for better spectator views
Sports teams are a symbol of a cities pride. Take for example the Chicago Cubs. They create a sense of loyalty toward that city. However, none of that would happen without a stadium. Stadiums and teams can play a very important role in a cities economy, or they could also be irrelevant. To decide whether or not they are useful or not you must first understand each side of the argument. So first, let’s examine the pros of having a stadium within your city. Then, we will discuss the harms of having one. And finally, decide which side is more beneficial for the economy.
During my visits to the coffee shop, I was very surprised that the amount of people that ordered donuts was not as large as I expected. I made that assumption that donuts would be a regularly ordered item because of the variety offered by the coffee house. However, the number of people who ordered donuts were more than those that ordered coffee. I noticed that the majority of people either ordered hot coffee or iced coffee (Figure 1). The other beverages such as, Macchiato, Cappuccino, Latte, Punch, Coolatta and Smoothie were not as popular. Additionally, I observed that many of the customers paid using cash, however the majority
In my ADV class we had the privilege to read a book named “A Home on the Field”. The book was written by Paul Cuadros, a reporter who was sent to the small town of Siler City to study the impact of the Latino community. Cuadros narrates his experience on helping immigrants overcome their social and family issues, and get through the culture clash that the Latino legal and illegal immigrants looking for a new beginning face nowadays.
In many large U.S. cities, monopoly owners of sports franchises have been lobbying local governments for new publicly financed sports stadiums.
When attending a major sporting event or amusement park, the prices of food & drinks are always significantly more expensive than at an average convenience store or restaurant. There is no possibility that the food being purchased should cost that much, but these people are hungry & thirsty with no other choices, so they buy it anyway. Unfortunately, Grand Canyon University students deal with this on an everyday basis within the Lope Shops on campus. The approximate 15,500 students living on campus are forced to pay highly inflated prices for simple groceries at every available store on campus (Abraham, 2016, para. 2). GCU should lower the prices of groceries in on-campus shops or provide
The idea came to Price when the owner of a local coffee shop started having problems with the company that processed credit card payments, accompanied by high fees. He felt he could provide a better, more efficient service at reduced rates, promoting the growth of community business. It continues to uphold its strong values and commitment to superior customer service.
From silent short films of the 19th century to full length films of the 1920s, women have played important central roles over time. Women have transitioned from submissive conservative roles to liberal something. A big part of this is due to the view of women changing in history.
Most the behavior I observed was a very casual and relaxed as the people seemed to all be friendly and enjoying their absurd priced beverages. Once in awhile someone would recognize a fellow customer and they would proceed to great each other with either a handshake or hug. Spatial arrangement between people was typical of most American norms. They typically had about a person length in between each person making sure not to get to close to bump into one another which is considered rude in this country.
I think capital punishment is morally wrong and cruel because as a human, I make mistakes, we all make mistakes. The government killing a murderer who has murdered another human just shows that murder is completely unethical. If the government turns to the death penalty, some humans will merely view this act as a form of government hypocrisy. This is a conflict in the government policy that complicates criminals and any crime because the death penalty does not have a deterrent factor. Capital punishment is an invasion of natural human rights because it is taking ones liberty and right to life. A criminal who receives the death penalty cannot seek human dignity or rehabilitation to help him or her become an ethical and merciful person.
The stadium shrinks like a dark street. Why does the slum work? The rainy truck quickly sells the girl. All cars drive small, noisy streets.
