Fogerty Arena

I play at Fogerty usually once to twice a week. I’ve played at tons of rinks in the metro and many more around the state.
This place is easily in the lower half of the rinks I’ve taken the ice at.
First at the foremost, the staff. Most unhelpful, non-​caring, collective group of ice rink workers I’ve ever come across. They’ll sit in their box and not care one bit for you walking in the door. If the reader board isn’t updated with rink and locker room assignments, its a personal problem for you, not them. We had a locker room get pillaged by someone stealing once, so we naturally go to requesting keys for the rooms. One worker, sitting in the office, on his phone, I approach with a teammate in hand to ask for a key. He says «yeah, it’s right here.» Doesn’t look up from his phone or even get the key, just keeps on his phone. I look blankly at my mate, and ask «do I go back there and get it?» As I start heading towards the office door, he finally gets up and hands me the key, only to plop back down and get back on his phone.
Locker rooms sometimes aren’t cleaned out, nor are the bathrooms ever stocked with TP or paper towels. Drinking fountains barely produce a stream high enough so you can fill water bottles.
And my two biggest gripe points in this gong show, no automatic doors at the front. We’re carrying a bag that can fit a human being, and we have to navigate a door way that can barely fit myself walking through it. Not to mention the inner and outer doors to get through. And of course, no direct access from the parking lot to the rinks. So, not only do us players have to tote our massive bags and heavy gear up stairs outside into the rink, then we have to carry the bags down another two flights of stairs to the locker rooms. Brilliant designing. Just brilliant.
Now we come to ice conditions. All over the board. During the winter, the ice is brittle. During the summer, the ice is just awful due to humidity. I get it, it’s Minnesota and it’s cold during the winters and hot/​muggy during the summers. But, shouldn’t a rink know how to properly maintain their ice regardless of outside conditions? I surely think so, and a lot of rinks in the state know how to. A shame Fogerty is so far behind in that regard.
