I've been here since 7-8 Friday and so far my experience has been good for the most part. The Empire Mall was very good, on Friday we ate at Shenanigans (which my sister will now say at random and funny times) which was great experience, they had a great lemonade I might add. Our "hotel" (Motel 6) is........ well its crap, and we're being charged 89.99 for it. Some very interesting people stay here, thank fully there are some nice bikers out front who will probably scare anyone with bad intentions. Last night there was a fight at 2 AM and the police came (my family was asleep) Definitely wish we could stay somewhere better. (Anyone wanna open there home for 50 people? Lol) Today, we had our games were at Yankton Park which was pretty nice, but it was HOT! We drove around town a little, went downtown, which looked nice. We then ate at Joey's Seafood and Grill for dinner which was very good. After a Little more shopping at Empire Mall, we returned to our "hotel" where we had to pay 2.99 for 24 hours of internet service. (nice place eh?)
Anyway, I just want to ask a few things, whats Western Mall like? And where is the Sanford's Childrens Hospital? (The castle) Also what is the system with Sioux Falls' numbered streets? They seem to be incredibly random, (12th, 26th, and 41st?) I think our "hotel" is on 26th maybe, I don't exactly know.
I can't wait to experience more of Sioux Falls tomorrow, Monday, and possibly onwards!
You must be in town for the soccer tournament. The Western Mall is on 41st St and Western Ave. The Western Mall is more of a large strip mall. It has Best Buy, Scheels, Champps, Huhot, the cheap movie theater, and a few others.
Not sure how the streets were named most of the major streets are on the section lines although not a constant interval. (85th, 69th, 41st, 26th, 12th-10th).
Sorry the hotel sucks, but you really can't expect much out of a Motel 6. How is the tournament going? Do they have enough parking at Yankton Trails?
They had a news story about the tournament last night. I know Sx. Falls has better motels, but it sounded like the whole town was pretty well booked right now so you're probably out of luck.
Will they possibly have a few games this afternoon? The rain is supposed to stop soon. Hopefully anyway.
You're lucky that you got motel rooms in Sioux Falls. There are 12,000 soccer players and families in SF. Many fans were forced to get motel rooms in Sioux City, approx. 90 miles away.
A little secret to navigating Sioux Falls. To find the cross road of any address that is listed as South something, add 8 to the digit in the 100's column.
Example: Address of 1725 S. Western Avenue. Just add 8 to the seven of 1725 (8 + 17 = 25) and this property will intersect between 25th street and 26th street.
Example #2: Address of 620 S. Louise Avenue. Add 8 to the six of 620 (8 + 6 = 14) and this property will intersect between 14th and 15th street.

Motel 6 here is crap... I could've recommended better ones, but I'm sure the hotels book up quick with the tournament.
Western Mall isn't anything special... It's basically a Best Buy, Scheel's, and several smaller stores.
The Sanford's Childrens Hospital is on 22nd Street. From your hotel, go east on Russell (the street your hotel is on) to Kiwanis Ave and south to 22nd, and head east on 22nd... it will be on the north side.
Sioux Falls has a difficult/confusing street system (compared to Omaha), since the center of the city is 9th & Phillips.
Russell Street, Minnesota Ave, 41st, 26th, 12th/11th/10th (forms a one way loop in downtown, its Highway 42... 10th turns into Arrowhead Parkway east of Sycamore), 57th, Sycamore, Cliff Ave, Western Ave are all streets with businesses/services you'll need.
I'll DM you my cell phone number, and feel free to text me.
