My daughter played a couple of fall college events at Grand Park. It's not very user friendly. Fortunately we did find a golf cart to get my parents too and from the field from the parking area. The costs of this thing has been dissected enough. I still maintain there is no way this enterprise would fly if it were privately owned. I have looked at building multi-use athletic facilities, I've put pencil to paper with a GC, I could NOT make the numbers work. Granted I'm half way between Indy and Louisville, not near a major metro area. Even at that, Hamilton County is not the easiest area to navigate.
The question that begs to be answered, is the facility bringing in enough money to the local economy to make up for the operating expenses. We (ICGSA) have had to change dates twice for our Softball All-Star game, due to hotel space because of events at Grand Park. We typically take about 35 rooms for players, coaches, and staff, I have no idea where parents stay. We eventually moved the venue from Carmel HS to IU.
