Fantastic experience: Shirk Center is a truly remarkable athletic complex and a major asset for Illinois Wesleyan University. The complex houses a dedicated volleyball and basketball arena as well a large center area that can be subdivided by large curtains and have multiple uses going on at one time.
Fantastic experience: Clean great place to do a workout
Negative experience: This place is horrible if you are going to watch an event. The bleacher/seating area is terrible and nearly not large enough to accomodate the amount of spectators one would anticipate for a sports arena this size. On top of that, there is no easy way to walk through to the seating area with enough room, or without blocking anyone's view. Cheap alluminum bleachers made it a nightmare to sit down. Food court area is OUTRAGEOUSLY overpriced.
