This venue is in the middle of nowhere on the Lanier Tech campus. So when you pull in to the school's parking lot, just keep driving back....yes you are in the right place. Unfortunately it was a rainy evening so everything was soaked, but we weren't going to let that ruin our 1 hour drive to see Tom Keifer. The venue is VERY small. Not sure of the capacity, but I will say that the best places to sit is in the center even if you are in the last row. We were seated stage right 2nd row and couldn't really see anything thanks to the pillars at the front of the stage and also the equipment blocking the view. Word of warning.....I was initially bummed I couldn't get Row 1 when I searched for tickets...when I got there, I was ecstatic I didn't get Row 1. I would be so upset if I paid for front row seats and had to essentially sit on the ground. Row 1 had to sit on the wet ground...it was the ledge/wall type thing with fake grass and brick. Row 2 was the first row with actual seats. It appears that all of the sections are this way. 1 row no chairs (sit on the ground) 1 row chairs, then repeat. The good part is the money spent there goes to the school. So that's awesome. The other good part is the bathrooms! there's no line and they are much bigger than you would expect, they are clean AND it's air conditioned. Concession ladies weren't the nicest. Before the show was over (even before the last song prior to the encore started), I went up to buy a water and was told they were closed. They are losing a lot of money by turning it away that early. I didn't sit VIP, but glad I didn't. The website describes the "Suites" as something awesome....What it actually is, is a tailgating tent for each "Suite" with a high top table and chairs, a bucket of bud light type beer, and a buffet setup across the way catered by Golden Corral. There's no fans, no AC, not indoors...not what one expects to receive for that kind of money. Over all the venue is just ok - It's very nice and new from a looks perspective, but not very professionally handled. It's nice in theory, but needs work. Oh right..the show - it started over half an hour late and then there were amp issues the whole night. Not sure I would go back here. read more

This new amphitheater is a great addition to the area. Checkout the water feature while you relax and wait for your event to start. If it is around sunset, plan to enjoy a beautiful one that is often photo worthy. Still relatively unknown, the Innovation Amphitheater has good parking, clean facilities, and a pleasant ambiance. read more

Innovation Amphitheater - Don't let the image fool you, this amphitheater is nestled in a beautiful area. - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Winder, Georgia

Open seating should be no more than four seats saved by a person. One woman literally had saved almost an entire row. She was like a pledge in the student section of a college football game. The cleaning staff was amazing and deserve 5 stars after sweeping up water/waste from backed up drains. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this venue! Totally my favorite venue for outdoor concerts for sure! Close to home....only 1600 people....intimate arrangement....not a bad seat in the place even on the very last row (I know bc I've sat there)...clean restrooms...awesome friendly staff...good food selections (smokin po boys bbq sandwiches YUM, papa johns pizza etc). Only problem for me at least is they only serve the beer selection that is sponsoring the band playing it seems....saw Corey Smith couple of weeks age only beer choices were Miller Lite & Terrapin and no discount for a bucket! The concert before that I saw was Jamey Johnson and the beer selection was Bud & Bud Lite. It WAS general admission last year BUT this year is assigned seating even for wall seats! I'm attending at least 5 shows this year maybe more if they add on! AWESOME PLACE! read more

I LOVE Innovation Amphitheater! Why it isn't sold out most weekends is beyond me!! The talent they bring in has been stellar (at least the ones I've seen)! Great, intimate setting! read more

What a fantastic small venue!!! Plenty of parking ($5) supports the school. The venue has 3 kinds of seating: chair, wall and suite. The suites are tents with high top tables & chairs. The chairs are folding chairs with enough room for people to sit on the wall in front of you. We went for the first time to see Back N Black (AC/DC tribute band). The tickets for chair seats with taxes and fees were about $13 each. They weren't uncomfortable at all. It's general admission and you just pick out where you want to sit. They have clean bathrooms and a concession stand with burgers, dogs, BBQ & chips with soda, water and beer. The place was not overly crowded probably because they just opened about 3 weeks ago and they are still booking events. This wonderful little place, which seems in the middle of no where, was a great place to see a show without the crowds, traffic and prices of a huge venue. We will definitely be back!!! read more

Innovation Amphitheater - Stage! - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Winder, Georgia

we have a lightning storm. they would not let anyone out without coming back in. people wanted to wait in theirs cars.(where it is safe.....on top of 4 rubber tires) instead we are standing outside, under tents, waiting for the storm to end. and yes it is still lightning outside. the show is on hold. shame on you!!! didn't offer any refunds. if someone gets struck by lightning, I can only hope the insurance bond can cover the lawsuits to epic proportions. read more
