Parapan Am Athletics Tickets

other than wheeltrans not being able to find me almost 3 nites in a row - i love the games and loved watching my cousin win bronze for Canada

This was my 6th Pan/Parapan event and I enjoyed it the least. It was my first athletics/track and field event ever and I found it hard to follow what was going on. There were multiple events happening at the same time e.g. when a race was occurring on the track, there were also competitions happening on the field for high jump, shot put etc but we were too far away to see them. Only some of the track events went past us. Some of the shorter ones were on a different section of the track. There was only one big screen at the far end so we couldn't see that very well either. Unfortunately, it was also poorly attended so there was no atmosphere either. I felt really sorry for the athletes as there was not a lot of support but we cheered all of them regardless of their nationality. The races were coded but there was no explanation of the codes so it wasn't always easy to understand what the disabilities were. I'm glad I went but it wasn't as enjoyable as the other events I'd attended. Perhaps athletics are always like this.

Great venue, great seats, great event! It was so inspiring to see these athletes give it their all!
