Why people are excited about the new Dick’s House of Sport store at Fairfield Commons

Here are some of the reasons why people love the new sports retail location so much.

• Interactive experiences: Dick’s believes that customers want to “feel it, touch it, try it on” and experience the products. The over 100,000-square-foot facility includes a rock climbing wall, multiple golf bays with TrackMan simulators, and batting cages that can be used for baseball, softball, lacrosse and soccer.

• Outdoor area: The store also has a 17,000-square-foot outdoor turf field, where kids can try out cleats, shoes and equipment to determine if they fit well, or are suitable for their sport.
