OB is a much better facility, not even close.
Was at a meet last year and you can smell the marijuana on the backstretch coming up from the Homeless shelter, total dump.
The seating is horrible at the armory, the warm up area is crowded with athletes and guys going to the bathroom. Distance runners have to go out side and run around the homeless guys and whatever else is out there.
Everything in the dump is super expensive.
OB is clean and doesn't stink, seating is far superior. No contest, burn the armory down and start over.
Why in the world did Millrace move a classy meet to a dump?
Assume we’re taking about a hypothetical middle distance race. Are there any discernible differences between the Ocean Breeze and Armory tracks that would lead you to say that one is clearly “faster” than the other?
Any thoughts on this from runners that have competed at both venues?
Armory is terrible. Your not allowed to bring your own food in, the officals are rude and the facility is skuzzy. The food inside is jacked up in price ten fold and isnt even good so ive heard. Ocean breeze has a beautiful facility and everything about it is better than the armory. Just be prepared to wait 30 minutes in line to get to the bathroom.
