I used one last weekend to shoot pics at the wife's boss's party. It's an excellent camera. Plus it's so small that you'll want to carry it everywhere with you.

I sold my D700 cause it was so big I didn't care to bring it anywhere. My current D600 is much better, although still way bigger than the D3100.
 
This Ken Rockwell guy is (in)famous for his no-nonsense reviews and he recommends the D3100 above everything else for people who are just starting out: http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/recommended-cameras.htm

I would suggest bookmarking his site. Some of his observations are to be taken with a grain of salt but he's really good at providing simple, clear advice in layman's terms.
 
Just get it. You'll be back at the store in no time to get the longer lens, but whatever.

If you can find a bundle that includes the 18-55mm lens AND the 55-200mm (or 55-300mm), you'll save yourself a second trip to the store.

You really want that longer lens to take pics at the arena.
 
Example - I shot this at 200mm with an old Nikon D90 - my seat was about 30 rows back:
