Sports Authority

a great big beautiful place to shop for sports there are football boots and athletics see footbol American bike racing calcettiskateboard basketballs baskets balls and shin guards pants shirts cones allenarsipkrte from calciocasci from basble pumps to inflate the balloons.

I haven’t been here in years, but today’s trip included mom finding a good pair of sneakers and my bro finding hiking boots. They had some decent sales off sneakers, they laid out some sneakers for 50% off but those sizes consisted of only tiny or large sizes. Bummer.
What I did notice is taking a cart is nearly impossible. The racks are so close together I couldn’t go through the aisles without bumping into them. You turn around and bump, take a piece of clothing out, bump. Very irritating, not an shopping experience.
Employees keep to themselves… At least this time I went, they didn’t offer to help.
Will I come back? Meh.

This Sports Authority is terrible it’s really dirty and the staff is rude why why is that they don’t care costumer service is slacking period.

This place is just depressing; you can see it on the employees’ faces. You don’t exactly feel invited when you walk in.
They seemed to be adequately staffed for a Tuesday afternoon, but it was tough to get someone’s attention. I’m not sure what everyone was working on because the store was a mess. Everything is scattered and misplaced.
It’s a shame because they have great deals (check-​in with Unilocal) and the store is conveniently located. That isn’t enough to get me to come back, though.

I’m not sure why all the bad reviews– wasn’t messy, stocked well, found my things easily and a fairly enjoyable customer service. I’m only giving it 4 instead of 5 because the cashier was engaged in a conversation with her co-​worker warning him to «shut up and behave because HR was coming today» other than that, it was a good store.

Ouch! This Sports Authority location got canned.
Anyway, I continue my quest for Nike pro shorts across state lines. And, it fails.
I came to this Sports Authority for some Nike pro shorts in my size which seems to be a more impossible task to complete than one would think.
This location is conveniently located with other stores making parking fairly simple (as long as you are okay with that scary circular ramp).
Sports Authority locations tend to be fairly large and this one is no different. The sale selection was mediocre. Ultimately, I didn’t find anything I wanted. I don’t see much difference between this one and other locations…

I live near this store and so have shopped here many times over the years. No more. It is not particularly cheap, but is run like a discount store. There are never enough registers open, even though there are plenty of employees milling around the registers looking like they are doing nothing. When I told the manager today that they needed to open more registers, she said «it’s busy.» That’s the point — open all your registers if it’s busy. Customers don’t want to stand there and see 4 closed registers as they wait 30 minutes in line. She couldn’t have cared less. If that is how the manager view things, there is no hope for this store.

Okay, just went there tonight to purchase a camelback for my trip to Georgia tomorrow. Yes, I know, I’m a last minute procrastinator, but I work better under pressure!
Anyway, I had a coupon from the Cub Scouts Camp cards and also from the Unilocal Check-​in so I’m like «sweeeet».
But nevertheless, when I happily when to pay, the I showed the cashier the Unilocal Check-​in $ 10 off of $ 50 (my purchase was over $ 70). She said, «don’t worry, I have one here (meaning a coupon) which was a totally different one so I let her do her thing, but then when I pulled out the Cub Scout Camp card she said «oh I think it’s the same one». I’m like «no, this is from Unilocal and the other is a different one» she called another girl (the «supervisor» I suppose, and she also said, «yeah, they’re the same». I’m like «ok, let me just get out of here before I lose brain cells myself…
Anyway, they didn’t honor the Unilocal coupon maybe cause it conflicted with the other!!! I have no idea.
The store has a lot of things for every kinda sport so it’s good in that sense. but I cannot give it more stars because I was not a «completely satisfied customer». I would’ve otherwise given it a 3.

According to this profile the store is open till 10 PM. I drove 25 miles on a Tuesday night to get here, arrived at 9:35, to find out the store closes at 9:30. How irrresponsible of them not to update and post correct information on the Internet.

All I can say if you visit this store is GOOD LUCK. The associates are getting paid nothing and it’s quite obvious as they get annoyed to do any small task such as opening a fitting room. They opened a room for me and then told me I could only bring 5 items in yet there were like 5 items left from the last person in my room? She goes «don’t worry about those» hmm ok? So I left my clothes outside of the room and when I came out I assumed that she would be standing there giving me the rest of my items. Nooope. She wandered off so I had to come out of the room in my underwear to grab my clothes. Then I wanted another size in things so I had to get fully dressed, wander around the store to find my sizes, and then contact another associate to let me in as the doors close rather quickly if you let them and they automatically lock. It took me about an hour to find one dri-​fit top and shorts when it could have taken 10 minutes.
Parking is easy and I did find everything that I needed (weight gloves as well) but they have a very poor selection of sizes (all L & XL) and the staff is very unfriendly.

Merchandise jam-​packed into every square inch of this place. Doesn’t exactly make for a pleasant shopping experience.
I wish Dick’s Sporting Goods would open up around here… they are so much better. But for now, it looks like I’ll shop only online for sporting goods.
Avoid!

Even more worthless than I originally thought. I’m going to the Marlins game, and since the season just started, one would think this store would be brimming with MLB apparel. At least that’s what I thought — I wanted to get a jersey.
I circled the store three times. There was NO MLB stuff for men. There was a little kids’ stuff in the front of the store. I seriously pondered the idea of getting a kids’ XL Josh Johnson jersey. Tried it on but my neck, shoulders and arms were bursting from the thing, so no.
Thanks a lot, Sports Authority, now I’ll end up spending too much at the stadium.

i went looking for miami dolphin slippers… they dont carry them in the store. boooo

I remember the days when Sports Authority was the only store you needed for outdoor activities, sadly those days are long gone.
This place reminds me of a teenage boy’s room, everything just kind of piled to the side so there is just enough room to reach the bed.
Things displayed in the isles like they were just too lazy to put them away. The selection on actual sporting goods is nonexistent, which is enough said when you are talking about a sporting store.

This store needs some serious help. For starters, navigating through the store isn’t very easy when the racks are conveniently placed less than 2 feet away from each other. So, unless you weigh under 80 lbs, or are less than 3 ft tall, getting around this place might be difficult.
I had two items on my list to buy at this store… a baseball bat, and sneakers for my nephew. I left 0 for 2. They have a kids section for shoes. I was looking for a size 12. They had 1 pair of shoes that was an 11, then everything else was a 3.5 or higher. Not sure how that makes any sense… And it was for all shoes. I went through every single sneaker in the boys section and nothing!
As for the bat, the customer service rep who helped me out was eager to inform me that they don’t carry 75% of what’s on their website. LOVELY! Their bat selection was very poor and very disorganized. I ended up having to order the bat online and paying extra for some quick shipping before Xmas. BOO TO YOU, SPORTS AUTHORITY!

Now you can’t fit yourself through the isles without turning sideways, you can forget the cart.
And no, I’m not that fat.
You know how its the law that kids wear helmets on bikes? Well they had 1, count them ONE girl youth helmet option. Guess. Come on, you can do it… Barbie.
When Joey comes of age, she will wear a mega death skull dope smokin’ helmet before she wears f#$%^&* Barbie helmet.

Carla and I have something in common, we’re both idiots and purchased the bike warranty.
Purchased the warranty program, took girlfriend’s bicycle here for a brake problem about two weeks after purchasing. After checking on the status 3 – 4 times and being put on hold for a cumulative time of 70 minutes (i documented it), they finally admitted to LOSING the bike. HOW DO YOU LOSE A BIKE???
After 2 – 3 more calls we arranged to pick up a new bike, with the manager trying to «make everything right» Never shopping here again.
In general I would advise against buying bicycles of the caliber sold here, for a little more you can get a used or prior year model of a Trek or something like that and give business to a small bicycle shop instead of a goliath.

Ehhh… I was going to blame it on the fact that it was the day after Christmas, but let me not kid myself… This place, for some odd reason, is always MESSY. I hate shopping in a disaster zone. Oddly, that’s what this place usually looks like.
Came and bought sneakers here on Friday. The sales clerk was at least knowledgeable on the sneakers, but it took me FOREVER to even find a person. The shoes were all over the shelves, and the boxes were in NO order. However, I managed to find the perfect pair of running shoes, so I was pleased. Also did find a pair of hot Nike slip-​ons that I got too, but finding my size was a bit of a mission. :)
So they lose 2 stars for lack of organization and cleanliness. Other than that, this is a great store to come and find anything you need to be active. And for the most part, they have great prices!

I went here to check out their running shoes since I’d gone to the mall and really hadn’t found anything I liked. I figured this place would have the same limited selection and expensive prices as most other sporting goods stores, but I was really pleasantly surprised! First, they have more than just the logo t-​shirts, shoes and gear for people who are into team sports like most other sporting goods stores… This place has everything from golfing, fishing, boating and camping gear to weight benches to complete uniforms. They had several name brands and styles of shoes and their prices were reasonable. In fact, I found some items here which were cheaper than they were at large department stores, which usually isn’t the case with most stores that just sell sporting goods and apparel.
