Baltimore has lots going on. I looked up several parking garages and which was useful. If you chose…read morethe arena garage, your price is premium. Barry Manilow was performing. CFG arena was charging $77. We parked a block away and spent $25. It was handy getting out of our garage so quickly. There are three entrances to the arena. Howard Street, Baltimore Street and Hopkins Plaza. We used Hopkins since levels 100 & 200 enter there. The recording about bag sizes and what is allowed played on an endless loop by the doors. It got a bit tedious. The same announcement played as we exited. Club Fearlesd is a premium upgrade for guests who pay who pay $75 (kids $25) for a premium upgrade can enter an hour early. You can enter the arena on the ground floor. Arm rails in the middle of the steps look like they could obstruct some views. Clear stadium bags (14x6x14), an empty water bottle and umbrellas without a tip are allowed. Non clear handbags 4x6x6 are allowed. If your bag is too big, there are rental lockers near the Hopkins Plaza entrance. The stage lights were fun to watch. Each set was brilliant. Snacks were sold throughout the arena. Bottled water was $7.50.

So excited to see Dave Chappelle at CFG Bank Arena. My partner and I decided to look into parking…read moregarages before getting to the show and there were several in the area with availability is we decided to try our luck with street parking since we knew there'd be lots of garages available close by as a back up. As we drove closer to the arena, we noticed it was going to take us 20 mins to drive 0.3miles. We parked close to Lexington Market which has lots of free street parking. The walk was about 7-10mins from the car to CFG Arena. Show time was 7:30pm and we arrive to the Arena around 7:50pm. The line was ridiculously long regardless of which entrance we wanted to use. The staff were directing people to certain lines depending on where you were seated. Our line went down the street which was lengthy and into a parking lot. This was not a single file line either and people were clumped together... we contemplated leaving but I really wanted to see Dave Chappelle. 10mins into standing in line, a staff member told half the people in the garage to follow her. She walked us down some stairs, around the building and directed us to use another entrance... she directed us to join another cue but this line had less people but still long and slow moving. We stood in line for another 25mins before going through security. We were given a card with our seat number on it because our phones, and anything with Bluetooth capabilities including my Apple Watch and AirPods. When inside it wasn't too hectic, we were able to purchase merchandise as well as drinks from various vendors on a our way to our seats. We had great seats in the 102 section and could see the stage clearly. The show was great! Leaving with another hassle. Standing in a slow, barely moving line because we needed our phone unlocked. We ended up leaving through a side exit, walking to the front and entering in the front to have our phones unlocked. Despite the challenges with their process, staff was nice and friendly.

I can't definitely see why more and more artists are choosing to host concerts here over DC. To quote the famous J-Hope: "I want more Baltimore!"

M&T Bank Stadium…read more Customer Service-For my very first experience, it was great. I had to ask a couple of questions while trying to understand how to navigate to the club-level area, and everyone assisted with a smile. One of my favorite Club level perks? FREE WATER AND SODAS!!!! With the stadium prices being what they are, having complimentary drinks available was definitely appreciated. Food- I tried a little bit of everything, and overall, the food was hit or miss. Crab Cake egg rolls from Jimmy's Seafood. As a BMore girl, anything with "crab cake" in the name is going to get my attention. They were okay-not bad, but they didn't necessarily wow me either. The Little Caesars pizza was pretty small, but it's Little Caesars at a stadium, so I knew what I was getting. It did the job. Chicken Tenders & Western Fries. The tenders really didn't have any flavor, and the western fries were just meh for me. However, I absolutely loved how this meal represented Baltimore. There's something about seeing this familiar BMore-style dish, served in a box at a Ravens game, that just felt right. Kudos to whoever came up with the concept! Maybe if it came with saltpeppaketchuphotsauce, yes, all one word, IYKYK, it would have enhanced the taste and added flavor. Popcorn- freshly popped, hot, and exactly what this OG popcorn lover wants while watching a game. I also tried both the classic cinnamon and Oreo churros, and both were Good. Ambiance-Great aesthetics for a stadium. Club level was nicely decorated as well. Parking-Rough, and on opener day with double games (Ravens and Orioles), it was horrible. Many lots were available for a fee; I paid $80. But having the convenience of getting in and out, not being blocked in and waiting hours to get out of a garage, made the cost worth it.

It was obvious the parking operation was in chaos, with attendants scrambling to redirect cars because paid and unpaid vehicles were apparently mixed together. Our ticket listed a lettered lot. The attendant told us that was a system error and lots are actually numbered. So the ticket we paid for in advance directed us to a lot that didn't exist as described. Great start. Once we finally parked, we found two lines stretching at least an eighth of a mile each. We picked the shorter one and stood in the rain for 45 minutes. When we finally reached the door, the event staff greeted us with visible irritation. We had been standing outside getting soaked for the better part of an hour and were met with attitude. The only reason we stayed was because of what we paid for the tickets. Inside, electronics go into pouches, which is fine. Except the pouches have no straps and no unique identifiers. Set yours down for a second in the bathroom and good luck sorting it out from everyone else's. A small but telling detail about how much thought went into the logistics. We left early to beat the exit crush and it still wasn't pretty. I don't care who performs here. We will not be back.

But when that sportsball event becomes a fabulous pride night that gives away a free rainbow jersey and features appropriate music from the likes of Chappell Roan, Abba, and then some, you best believe that you're inclined to attend in spades! Without such a night it was still guaranteed that I was going to hit up an Orioles game during my Baltimore Visit. But the fact that I got to enjoy a fun night with a free jersey and some free Dunkin along the way made it even more incredible. And beyond that I saw enough to make it one of the best ballparks that I ever attended! Walking from M8 Beer (review coming later) to the stadium was easily accessible to the point that it literally looked like passing through said park before crossing a bridge. From there it was easy access to Dunkin hookups and and Orioles Shopping center that was built to feel like downtown shopping in a strip mall. Once I entered everything you'd expect from a ballpark was to the right side and easy to find, but it was also readily available within reason on all floors. As far as theming, spectacle, tradition, convenience, and then some, Oriole Park was the baseball stadium that delivered it all with a bang and then some!

Parking is a bit confusing if you don't know where you're going, despite the signs, I got directed to the wrong area this year when trying to find lot FGH. Last year I found FGH with ease, but my GPS failed me this time around. Ended up parking in lot C (with no additional charge) due to the wonderful employees. All ball parks are expensive for food & drink, so don't complain. The Local Fry's "The Local" Fries (quadruple entendre?) are phenomenal & worth it. Had a ton of "leftover" crab dip that was eaten without fries left to match. Absolutely horrific time seated directly next to people due to how cramped stadium seating is. First time I went I had nobody near me, this year it was 95°, then stormed, and touching arms with other wet/sweaty folk was enough to make me squirm!

This is a painful review for me to write because I am a Cirque du Soleil fanatic. I have seen 13…read moredifferent shows, some of them multiple times. I normally can't get enough of them but we were all disappointed with this show. With the exception of Ka, all of the shows I've seen have a general theme but don't have a rigid story they are following. It's just one amazing act after another. Before the show started they were playing audio that constantly encouraged you to download the smartphone app so that you could interact with the show. As I write this it currently has 46 reviews with an average rating of 1.5 stars on iTunes. I think 1.5 stars might be a little generous. It's such a cool idea but the execution is terrible. Supposedly I could interact with the fireflies that were buzzing around the stage before the show, but I didn't notice any difference when I did it on my phone. Even worse, the app makes your phone notify you during the show to use it. How completely distracting. I hated the app. This is usually what my thought process is during a Cirque du Soleil show: "That was incredible!" "How are they doing that???" "WHAT!" This was my thought process during Toruk: "I can't understand what the storyteller is saying." "That was nice I guess. I wonder when they're going to do some acrobatics?" "The lights on that tree look pretty." I think that my biggest frustration was that I kept waiting for the Cirque du Soleil acrobatics that always blow my mind and they never showed up. Because the show had to follow a set storyline there wasn't really a way to incorporate them apparently. During one part of the show a giant net got raised towards the ceiling and I got excited thinking it was finally time for some high-flying. Unfortunately the net was just part of the storyline. It took the place of a mountain that the characters were climbing. Sigh. Another part of the show had multiple people swinging kites in circles from the end of long poles that went on for far too long. I'm not paying this much money for tickets to see something I can do myself! I'm giving the show three stars because there were some interesting set pieces that looked good. They had giant cloth flowers that would "grow" out of ground and some water effects simulating a river that looked impressive. I also enjoyed the tree of fife and the giant flying puppet. Did I enjoy them enough to justify spending this much on tickets? Hell no.

It was more of a theater show where they told a story. (Not a very good story). So, unfortunately there weren't that many acrobatic performances, The only thing Toruk had going for it was the cool light show. Even the music for this performance was not that good. There were a few people in my section who just walked out during the second act. I would not recommend this show. There was none of that Cirque du Soleil magic in this.
