I went there for the first because of BOLE FESTIVAL and I must say it was a wonderful experience. The stadium is very big and spacious,the car parks are really big and the open spaces are very wide that you can organise a show or an event and everyone will be comfortable and safe. #bolefestival

Great spot for exhibitions and outdoor events including exercises

It is a large complex which means it can carry large numbers of people for big programmes and events which makes it beyond just a sports complex. Matter of fact, it's being used for a major conference in the city right now with delegates from all over the country.

However, it's not in the best shape right now. Could use a whole lotta work. I understand there's another newer stadium but this is located in the heart of the city and should be upgraded. I must confess I was there on a rainy day, which made for a sore sight. Perhaps it looks better on dry days but then again, it's in Rivers State which is rainy most of the year hence that should be taken into consideration.

I think this place is still standing purely on the strength of the love its visitors have for it, there are lots of exercise groups, footballers warming up, there are weights, a punching bag and entrepreneurs selling exercise paraphernalia and health food and drinks, some parts are good for children especially where children roller blade and for a fee learn to roller blade don't worry everything they need is sold there too, I suggest that someone comes up with a system to rent the equipment to users rather than sell. If you are a Port Harcourt person, you will definitely run into someone you know

A well-planned facility that allows visitors to engage in different sporting acitvites. A standard football turf, basketball court and and yes, Real Madrid has an academy in that space. I recommend 100% for any sport enthusiasts or... tourist?

Active stadium that's home to a local football club. Some facilities are poor but maintenance activities occur from time to time. Real Madrid being established within the premises will definitely be a huge boost.

I am there for the NBA conference so I can't really appreciate the stadium. It's large though and the decoration for the NBA is superb
