    Fresh Indiana tomatoes from 7/20/19 farmers market!

    Great venue for wonderful concerts most for free. The guests that arrive are both friendly and polite. There's a lot of smiles at the nickel plate district. It has become our go to for Friday night concert. What is really amazing is that parking is a breeze. We park in the library parking lot and have never failed when arriving an hour or so before the concert to get a good spot. After the concert it's easy to get out and not congested like many places that you go these days. Fishers parks department has done an outstanding job of making this a family friendly meeting place

    What a venue, what a show, what a night. I was at Nickel Plate District Amphitheater for the Built…read moreto Spill / Yo La Tengo concert, and it was amazing. Live music feeds the soul, and this concert fed me well. I've been listening to Yo La Tengo since high school, and Built to Spill since several years ago, and never did I anticipate that I'd see them in real life. They just lived in my mind and in my headphones as soul-nourishing entities. And yet, I got to see them play live! In Fishers, Indiana, of all places! I love that Nickel Plate District Amphitheater has been able to bring in some top-notch musical artists lately. It's so great to see bands that I consider elite playing so close to home. I don't even know if I should mention this. But, at one point, I left the venue proper, and was standing outside of the barriers. I could hear and see the concert as clear as if I were in the venue! One of the advantages of an outdoor concert venue. So, I don't know: If you happened to walk up to the venue and didn't have a ticket, but you were a big fan of the artist playing, you would get a satisfactory experience even just standing near this outdoor venue. I'm just saying! Nickel Plate makes it easy on its guests to get through the gates. You do not need a clear bag -- any bag will do, but they will check it. You're allowed to bring your own chairs and blankets. They say no outside food and beverages, but I had an unopened bottle of water in my bag, and they didn't say anything about it. Basically, this is a chill venue at which to see music. They don't allow you to bring alcohol, but if you wanted such a thing, there are two tents available with drinks for sale like canned cocktails, beer, sparkling wine and TCH/CBD-infused beverages. They will make you a gin and tonic, if you want. (Ask me how I know! Actually, don't.) There are also food trucks, with some very tasty food options. There's lots of room in the grassy general seating area to spread out. Everyone I came in contact with was super respectful of space. No one stood in front of me and blocked my view like I thought might happen. (This happens to me a lot -- it's all a part of being a shawty.) Overall, Nickel Plate was a great place to see two bands I love in an outdoor space on a perfect-weather day.

    Went to see Sammy Hagar at this amphitheater. We needed a cheaper option than the auditorium…read moreseating and I have some mobility challenges that make it difficult for me to sit on the ground or use beach style camp chairs. We asked for ADA seating to accommodate my needs. I noticed all areas were clean and in good repair. Walking in, there was a large courtyard area with many options for food and drinks as well as merch sales. There are also plentiful, clean restrooms. An attendant showed us to the ADA area when asked. She took the time to wipe off our seats with a towel to dry the rain off of them. There was a supply of folding chairs at the pavilion where we were seated as well as ample space for wheelchairs. It was a good view of the stage as well. The quality of sound of both the opening and headlining acts was excellent. The large video screens are nice to see a closer view in real time. The one closest to us had a big section blacked out but there were several others to look at and it did not decrease enjoyment. My only issue were the ridiculously high prices for drinks. We spent almost as much on drinks as we did on tickets and we did not drink that much. Pricing was comparable to a big music festival. That was disappointing, but not that surprising. One more note, it's worth it to pay for priority parking. However, parking, entering and exiting were pretty fast and well organized. We really enjoyed our experience here and as it is a close enough drive to Louisville that we could comfortably come home that same night, we will be on the lookout for other artists we would like to see at this venue.

    First show here this weekend (DMB). The sound and layout are great, the staff I interacted with…read morewere friendly, and the amenities (e.g. food options etc.) are fine. I'll be back for a show in a couple of months and see how that compares. The biggest knock against it is that it is a s**tshow once you get out of a concert. No signage, no layouts, not enough lights along the paths to the different parking lots. Whether you parked or need a rideshare, you're in for a haul. No cell signals. Getting into the show at the start of the night was a bit chaotic too-- we parked in a lot and walked where we were told to when we asked for directions to the west gate (though the staff member had no idea what "west gate" meant, he took his best guess-- and once we got there it read "west gate" in marker along the entryway). This led us into an area near the gate entry bypassing security until someone eventually ushered all of us who had ended up there out to a longer line at a different gate. As fan club members for the band we were supposed to have early entry and our own line, which we eventually did at the last minute as they combed through the GA line to redirect folks. I won't downgrade them for the drink prices though they are predictably outrageous-- $20 a beer and up. I simply stick to the water refill stations in these bigger venues because I never need a beer that bad, and not paying those prices should in time lower them to a reasonable level. Parking is fairly priced ($20 in advance, $25 day of). Plenty of porta potties and some bathrooms. We drove and parked this time, I'm doing rideshare next time--though that looks haphazard because though internet research tells me gate 2A is for rideshare, it's not labelled when the show ends to tell you how to get to that or any gate and you're forced to walk along with the flow of traffic. And getting an uber out of here would be impossible without a cell signal, but I hear there's a walkway to get you out of the general area and into a more populated business area so that's what I will try. TL:DR-- for a mid-sized outdoor venue this one is good to solid, great sound/acoustics. The organization and entrance/exit leave a lot to be desired.
