    I saw The B-52s and DEVO last weekend at PNC Bank Arts Center. Because it's a bit far for us and a…read moredrive, we don't often go down to this venue for concerts, but being DEVO fans we really wanted to go see them. Our seats in the amphitheater were in section 403 row 3. My husband purchased the tickets. We were pretty dead center. The section isn't close to the stage, but there are two large screens that project live camera footage of the performers on stage. We parked in the non-premier parking lots (no extra charge) where it's about a 12 minute walk to the PNC Banks Arts Center itself. We were fine with the distance. All the vendors from food and drink areas to the merch stations were all friendly and kept it moving. Crowd control was fine overall, but there was some confusion about the lines entering the venue. It wasn't clear right away that there was a non-bag entry line and a bag entry line. A few people were walking to the front to get the the non-bag entry line, and I swear it got a little tense when people who had been waiting started shouting. A staffer in a yellow vest eventually cleared it up, but perhaps more signage would help diffuse any situations like that lol. It was a great concert and fun time at PNC Bank Arts Center!

    PNC Bank Arts Center has been one of my most-visited concert venues over the last few years. I…read morewould like to praise some of the improvements they have made! First off, parking here isn't too bad. I do feel as though the paid parking is pretty expensive, but it's fairly close to the venue. They could make things clearer getting into parking, but besides that it's not too difficult to navigate. At the end of the night, getting out of the venue through the premium parking is fairly easy. After that, the security process is also relatively easy. The security here has been super friendly and quick. I did find it somewhat annoying that on a particular night, they were not clear with directions until the last minute, but besides that I entered security relatively fast. When it comes to navigating to our seats, I have never had an issue. The staff are pretty helpful, and I've never had a bad view from seats as close as the 100s sections to as far as the decks. Food and drink here has become surprisingly good, although it's VERY expensive. I always get the nachos, which are surprisingly tasty and have a nice variety of ingredients. Even the chicken tenders are pretty tasty. The $2 hot dog is a simple, cheap bite that I often can't pass up on. They also carry some unique and yummy pre-packaged food, like the CVT soft-serve ice creams. Lines for food usually move pretty quickly and never get too long! Additionally, the bathrooms are surprisingly clean and there are a ton of stalls. I never have to wait, even during busy times, just because they have SO many stalls and clear vacant/occupied signs. Overall, this venue looks great and has had some excellent improvements in the last few years. While things can be very pricey, I feel like this venue has a lot of excellent features that I have to praise.

    SARAH, the security guard is a predator!!!!…read more I went to House of Yes last night for Futch, a lesbian dance party. I been a couple times before and met Sarah there. She was always so friendly and flirty with me. Last night I came with my new partner. As soon as we walked in, she was standing nearby and she looked angry seeing us together. The rest of the night, all I could feel were her eyes on me from afar. At one point, she passed by me and secretly caressed my ass. I felt very uncomfortable and asked my partner if we could leave right after. I didn't feel safe asking for a manager to report her as she's already a supervisor security there. This is supposed to be a safe space and I DID NOT FEEL SAFE!!! Apparently from another person there, she gets "around" with girls there and even denied someone entry because they were no longer together. I would think she would be more respectful and keep it professional. I DID NOT CONSENT FOR HER TOUCHING ME LAST NIGHT!!! It's gross to think this is their employer. I will no longer be going back and neither will some of my other friends. It sucks, I really loved that party.

    I loved this venue back in the day and was happy to finally check it out again after roughly…read morefifteen years. They remodeled after the hurricane, and the venue looks as good as ever. The bathrooms are spacious and clean, and I can't emphasize enough how important that is. My suggestion, particularly for sold-out shows, is to arrive early, like an hour and a half before doors, and park your car at the VFW across the street and pop in for a few three-dollar beers. The prices at Starland are considerably more ($8.50 for a 12 oz can) and the VFW is a great pre-game option. The sound in Starland is good, and their layout is one of their biggest strengths; pretty much anywhere you stand you'll have a good view of the stage. It never seems far away. I'm taking off one star, however, because the show I was at (Testament / Overkill / Destruction) was clearly over-sold. I moved around, checked out a few vantage points during the headliner and eventually found a spot with some breathing room, in a raised area by one of the bars. But man, just imagining some kind of emergency situation and the absolute chaos that would ensue with such a packed-in, oversold crowd, it makes a person nervous.
