See who is playing and maybe catch a show! Goldstar and stubhub usually have good deals and the show will be over in time to either hit a late night bar or grab some late night grub.

The view from the balcony has a spectacular view of the entire theater , but the seats go fast. If you like to sit down while enjoying live music , be sure to grab a seat before they're all taken!

This theater has gotten a lot of shade over the last few years for building and aesthetic violations, but Skynyrd still rocked the place.

NEVER GET THE VIP SKYBOX UPGRADE- there's only 1 bartender for the entire section so there's a 20min minimum wait on a drink oh and unless ur the first people in the box u can see anything, seriosly p

Wear your jacket , hat & gloves if you're coming here in winter cause its FREEZING in here!!!!! No heat and its kind of a "dump " here - just sayin

Nick Pampenella

If you plan on keeping your lighter or any other "contraband ", then make sure you hide it well . Huge venue, expensive beer , but you get a pretty good view of the stage from where ever you are.

Edtra Flowers

I always stand on the left side of the stage for a great view ...

Cecily Mack

Always hang by the tour buses . Guitarist from of mice and men just brushed against my car

Mary Jo Q.

Great venue to get up close to your favorite bands. Dark and dingy with a diverse crowd . A great way to rock and roll!!!

Brandi Claussen

Use the bathrooms on the second floor. The line downstairs is always ridiculous, upstairs is better and faster.

Jason Halverson

Rock and metal is fine for the acoustics , but anything but full on amp crank is gonna sound like ass.

Maggie Kmiecik

Loved the show but the sound is always shitty.

Mitch Davis

The security here is always very professional, polite, and respectful. Or is that Bizaro Congress?

Ryan

They used to have a smoking section ... Not anymore. So just hide ur lighter and then smoke in the crowd. They won't kick you out if they catch you, just tell you to put it out. Best bathrooms too!

kelly bormann

Avicii show was fantastic! Openers started off schedule but the main act came right on!

Mr. Saro.

Best place to see a show now that Fireside & (old) bottom lounge is gone.

Phil Warner

Complimentary frisking and prostate exam at the door.

Fugly venue. Don't see a rock show. Electronic sounds a bit better.
