The food is not good at all, the chicken is not cooked well and the fries are full of oil and we felt like vomiting after eating

Ordered thru the KFC app, food correct and ready for pickup. Server was waiting on someone, I asked if they had to see order number and then asked me, what's the name AFTER I showed her my app order. There is ONLY my order at the pickup, don't you have the info? read more

This is one of the best arenas around. Go here for games & comedy shows. I'd imagine that concerts are okay too, but large arenas like this I tend to stay away from when it comes to live music. Security is helpful & nice. There are plenty of eat & drink options here. With that being said, you should probably opt to eat at one of the many fantastic restaurants downtown. I don't think there's a bad seat in the house. I recently visited to see Kevin Hart. I had floor seats & while the padded fold out chairs were nicer than most floor seats... they could be improved. Parts of the arena overlook the river & 2nd street bridge. It's definitely a nice area of the arena to retreat to if you need a break from NCAA tournaments or anything in general. There are plenty of parking garages within a 5 block radius of the arena. You won't have an issue finding a place to park. Clean bathrooms. Exiting the arena can be tricky. Being on the floor doesn't help that fact. The flow of people-traffic moves, but you definitely have to be patient. From a facilities perspective... The Yum Center is a solid 5. I'm taking off 1 star because of the prices. It's an arena so you can expect to pay exaggerated prices for beer, bourbon, & food. That's just how it is... FINE! I'll try not to sound too pompous on this next part, but if I do... then so be it! Normally I can find the right bartender that will pour my neat bourbon(for $9) & actually give me more than 1 ounce. When you're a bourbon lover & order a drink neat that shows you love/enjoy your bourbon... in turn usually scoring yourself larger pours. Not here. Nope. Nadda. In your dreams. So do yourself a favor... bring a flask, start drinking at home, or find a restaurant or bar where you can find better drinks before arriving. read more

I really don't know how you can give less than five stars to the KFC Yum! Center. The facility is completely state of the art. I have season basketball tickets up in the "nose bleeds" and I still don't mind. Having attended a variety of events here (I was even in my first flash mob here!), I've sat in a lot of seats (including suites), used a lot of restrooms, ate a lot of things... I have no real complaints. So I'll highlight a few different things! There are a variety of concessions. (Not many healthy ones, but probably more healthy options than your average concession stand, since there are so many options.) There are plenty of places to park downtown near the arena. Depending on when you go, it can be free. I generally park four or so blocks away, and I've never sat in real traffic any of the times I've been/left. The venue has drawn a number of large concerts and acts to Louisville. As avid concert and "experience" goer, it has been a welcome addition to the city. Probably the closest thing I have to a complaint is that if you have very good seats (in the middle, toward the floor), it can take a little bit of time to get up and out if you're trying to get concessions/use the restrooms during a "busy time." (It's because of the design.) It's okay, because your seats are amazing. Oh, my other complaint is you probably won't have a cell phone signal. That's annoying. A tip if you're at the top: There are stairwells in the back of the arena (and also in the front corner... if not both) you can walk down to exit. If you're physically able, this makes getting out of the arena quicker, as you don't have to wait for the escalator. Finally... The arena is decked out in red and black AND home to the University of Louisville Cardinals. On that note, I LOVE IT! read more

You do not have to play basketball to feel like a Baller' here! This facility is amazing. There is seating for every price level and there is truly a great seat all around. This can not be said for concerts which build a stage on the floor so make sure you check where the stage is located when you buy your tickets to prevent profile view. For food you will find all your classic Yum Brands and Papa John's for pub food selections. There are also micro brews beer carts, Home Made Pie Kitchen ice cream, liquor carts, plus your classic dogs, nacho's, and beer. However, don't expect "yummy" prices on the food. There are four floors to the Yum Center. The bottom floor (sub basement) is for the well to do, with leather couches and bourbon bars. Anyone with tickets in the first 10 rows will have access to the bottom floor. The first floor is for die-hards and season ticket holders. The middle is for private suites, boxes, and events. The third floor is for your every day person, one time tickets, and during non basketball games there is a open Spirit lounge. This Spirit room lounge can only be describe as gorgeous. Floor-to-ceiling windows do not even begin to cover the glass wall structure on the backside of the Yum Center, it is a definite must see on the third floor. Directions and driving to the Yum Center was constructed so that all the major streets and highways are close to prevent no more then 15 minutes in traffic. For a tourist, it is a 10 minute walk back to any downtown hotel. Over all, I always leave the Yum Center feeling that the facility was money well spent. I just wish I could say the same thing for my Card-iac Cardinals. read more

First off, I'm not a huge Cards fan, but I enjoy basketball (women's basketball too) and the opportunity to see a game at "the Bucket" presented itself in the form of free tickets. It is very rare that I would pass on anything FREE and it makes the enjoyment quotient of any event increase exponentially (makes for more available pocket change for beer, which in and of itself, increases enjoyment.) As far as arenas go, this is a beautiful facility. Spacious, clean, comfortable, with views overlooking the river (be better if I-64 were not there, but I don't think plan 86-64 will ever go through.) Of course, be prepared for arena pricing for everything food/beverage related. They have to keep the electricity on after all, and Yum! intends to make back their investment. Lower level seating is comfortable if a little tight but they were able to tier the seating in a way to give everyone a pretty good seat. On a side note, as Redbird made his way through the crowd, my one complaint would be to find a way to dry clean that outfit, as I think the Bird is suffering from a little odor problem. If he were running in a flock, I suspect the resulting birdkill from the shock of his sweaty stench would be rather apocalyptic as 150-lbs. each of giant birds came falling from the sky. read more

KFC - Nate gets the Bird - Fast Food Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

I love going to the Yum Center. I feel bad for the fans of teams who have deep history in success yet seem to still be playing in facilities that could very well have been for a large high school in Texas. This is a well thought-out facility that is truly good enough for the NBA. Every event I've been here for has gone well, the concessions are fantastic, the bathrooms are clean, and once I lost a couple pounds the seats didn't seem that tiny anymore! It is amazing what a vegetable or two can accomplish. The things I don't like about the Yum Center are things that any large stadium downtown in any city will have as issues: parking, parking, parking. Even if the Yum Center had more parking it wouldn't matter because my fellow Louisvillians still couldn't queue, park, drive, or be in general courteous of one another when it came to exiting the YUM Center. Louisville is a small town but seriously dude, there are other people here. Use the turn signals, it isn't illegal. I have to admit that I loved the wide selection of beer and other alcoholic beverages because our inability to consistently hit free throws makes me rather cross. Honestly, I've never shouted quite as much as I have when watching the Cards miss free throws. You have one job. I love you man but you're driving me to drink. Luckily, the Yum Center has a lot of great choices. If you're looking for a great experience at a game or concert the YUM Center will provide you just that, unless you went to see Justin Bieber then you're either a bad parent or make bad choices. You need Jesus. read more

KFC - Fast Food Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Sexy Beast decided that we should go out, in public, in a crowd, to see a concert, with thousands and thousands of other people. I'm a bit anti-social. I hate crowds. I'm not a fan of anything that requires that I wait my turn. But, I love Sexy Beast and I do enjoy the vocal acrobatics of Cyndi Lauper. (In the interest of full disclosure, I have to tell you that the very first concert that I ever attended was at The Louisville Gardens. Ms. Lauper took the stage. The Bangles opened for her. I had a general admission ticket and danced my sweaty, 13 year old ass off in the pit at the front of the stage.) So, I agreed to join him for the Cher/Cindy Lauper concert at The Yum Center. The doors to the building remained locked until just before the show. I'm not sure if that was to keep all those middle aged women in pleather pants from getting all crazy and wreaking havoc or if it was designed to force me to accept the truth that some people should never, ever be allowed to don spandex, especially leopard print spandex with cutouts. I'll give you a minute to picture that. If it was imperative to keep all that cattle on the front porch, the humane thing to do would have been to have a vendor or two with bottled water available for sale and a Honey Bucket or two available for the incontinent crowd. Cher's pushing 70 now and her fans range in age from 8 to 80. Old people sometimes have leaky plumbing. If you won't let them in the house, at least give them the option of the outhouse. The food selections were standard (pizza, pretzels, chicken fingers) and (as expected) over-priced. The cocktail prices were actually not all that unreasonable given the venue ($8 or $9, as far as I recall). Mad props to the bar carts for pouring Grey Goose. The Goose makes everything seem more tolerable, even the cackling, screeching American Idol rejects who insist upon belting out every single song at the top of their wheezing lungs. There were plenty of restrooms. You might have to hike a couple of extra yards to find one that isn't overly crowded. Let's talk about the engineering feat that is the seating in the Yum Center. In order to pack as many people as possible in there, the seats are arranged in steep, steep stacks. The great thing about that is that the view is pretty decent no matter where you are. The awful thing about that is that you risk plunging headlong into the rows in front of you if you happen to lack the grace of a prima ballerina. (Don't laugh. It has happened.) From afar, the damned thing looks like a giant goldfish cracker. I'm not happy with what it does to the skyline but I didn't get asked for my opinion on the matter and I doubt that anyone cares what I have to say about it, anyhow. Also, that whole exclamation point thing is annoying. read more

Wow...talk about a shrine to the spectacle that is college basketball. The YUM! Center (despite its somewhat lame and corporate-sponsored name) is awesome! As Matthew duly noted, it is bright and it is shiny - and with this being it's opening season it is bathing in the glory of its newness. There appears to be ample covered parking beneath and next to the Center, allowing for weather-free entry if that's worth $10 to ya (which frankly seems like a steal in my opinion). The halls are wide and brightly lit by floor to ceiling windows that illuminate the historic Kentrucky sports athletes featured on the inside walls. If the crowd in the YUM Center seems exceptionally giddy, it is possible that its not just the fumes of the Pinesol, it could be the fact that the Center is overflowing with adult beverages of all kinds. Pick your poison and the helpful staff can point you in the direction of the bar that caters to your craving. Bourbon? Head to the Woodford Reserve bar with its ample seating and views of the Ohio river. Vodka? Check, it is has its own room. Tequila? Yes. Beer? Well of course! With the Center being 3 miles off the Louisville campus, alcohol can be served. And frankly, and once you see this place, you'll know why it was necessary - all this grandeur had to be paid for somehow! While I can't speak first hand for the arena seats (we were luck to sit in a suite), the seats in the main bowl area below us looked to have great views. Some of the people in our suite also had seats both lower and higher up and went to those to watch the game, coming back in for halftime, which tells me that anything below the nose bleed section is probably really good. The PA system was great, the scoreboards were plentiful and looked to be top notch - they weren't hard to read and the graphics looked great. Post-game they broadcast Coach Pitino's press conference over the PA the show it on the center scoreboard so if you hang around you can catch that while you wait out the traffic. While I would watch college hoops anywhere, with or without the glitz and glam, if you want to experience the "spectacle" this is the place to do it. You might leave a die-hard Cardinals fan. read more

An update to my review of the KFC YUM! Center. Subtitle: Get your head out of your ass Arena Authority It's possible that I was overly harsh in my first review. I focused on some structure/design issues and didn't give proper credit to the YUM! Center for drawing bigger acts to town. So, yes, it is pretty cool that Louisville is now a city that can draw Beyonce. But let's not forget that the primary tenant is still the University of Louisville. Which, in addition to the basketball program, dabbles in higher education. I was in town this past weekend for graduation. Graduation. An event that exists for the sole purpose of dressing graduates up in silly outfits and taking their picture. What? You didn't think people came for the speeches, did you? Graduation is an elaborate photo op. You spend tens of thousands of dollars on your education and then you take a picture in a silly hat. That's the way it has worked for generations. Except at the YUM! Center. Where they don't allow cameras. I understand why you don't want me to go take professional concert photos of Justin Timberlake to sell on the interwebs. What I don't understand is why you would tell the moms of the world that they can't take a photo of their kid in a silly hat. read more

I wanted to wait to review the Yum! until after I had seen a concert there. I've now seen a few types of events at the Yum. First of all, how cool is the name? I know that building itself is just named after a brand that named themselves YUM! but come on...I love saying I'm going to the Yum Center. I had great seats to my first event in the Yum - near the middle and close to the floor. I was so impressed and really felt like the seats were spacious and I was in the performance I was seeing. Parking is somewhat a pain, but where is not when you have several thousand people wanting to go the same place? Next, I had season tickets to the UofL Cards basketball game. We made a habit of parking in the garage right next to the stadium for $10 and made quick entrances into the game. Its always easy to navigate to our seats pretty quickly. One thing I noticed - the Taco Bell stand wasn't always open. Not sure what gives! The concert I saw most recently at the Yum was amazing. Partly due to the artist and set up of the stage, but the performer did several circus like tricks and the sound was always spot on. The light show was impressive and the theatrics were amazing. I think any sort of performance would go off without a hitch at this venue after seeing that concert. The Yum Center is easy to navigate and has a variety of offerings. Most any seat is a good seat (even way up high). The only thing that can make it difficult is the hanging scoreboards in the corners may obstruct some of the full view of the stadium and aren't always pleasing to look at. Browse some of the ratings on here - if you're looking for specifics, but I'd like report that this is a great location...maybe my favorite in Louisville! Especially outside in front on gameday/performance. So fun! (except the smokers, cough cough). read more

I'm with Amanda J on this one--I don't know how you could give the Yum! Center anything less than 5 stars. I've been to multiple concerts and basketball games here and there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Getting inside has always been seamless--plenty of attendants scanning tickets and the bag checks are always quick. The restrooms have always been clean, the food staff have always been quick and friendly--never stood in a line for more than a few minutes which is great when your favorite song just started or there's only a minute left in the 4th quarter and you're down by 2--yes all of these things have happened to me at YUM. The location downtown is perfect--the arena really adds to the already stunning Louisville skyline and as a die-hard Card I couldn't be more proud of the University representation. If you're in from out of town and looking to grab a bite to eat or a drink before heading to the arena--there are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby...just make sure you get there early as they fill up pretty quickly! A few of my favorites are Patrick O'Shea's, Troll Pub by the Bridge and Impellizeris. read more

The nicest arena that I've been to and I have never had a bad seat... I think that is partly due to the design of the arena and stages. Always a lot of helpful, friendly employees, which makes it even more Kentucky Proud. The location is convenient to the downtown area and you can very easily access the interstate. Even if an act comes to my city, if would prefer to make the drive and go to the Yum Center instead. I'm still team BBN though. read more

I've been to the Yum Center over 30 times having been a Lady Cards season ticket holder and an avid concert goer. It still amazes me how many people that tell me they've never been inside. I've had terrific seats and nose bleed seats. In my opinion there isn't a bad seat in the place. I've shared so many terrific memories with my children and friends in that building. At almost every event, I take advantage of the parking there too. It seems to be lower than any other surrounding area. The UofL store inside is awesome as well. read more

Excellent acoustics regardless of where the seats are! We had some seriously crappy seats for a recent concert...almost behind the stage and in the nose bleed section, which was NOT cool...but my fault. Anyhow, I was a bit concerned as to how the show would sound given the fact the speakers where facing forward, but it didn't seem to matter. The acoustics were spectacular and sound was seemingly perfect!! Minus the fact that beers are $7.50 each, the escalator stalled and my chicken sandwich was given to 4 people who ordered them after me, and I ended up waiting forever....I really liked this place. Conveniently located within walking distance to some serious post-concert fun and multiple hotels was a plus!! I enjoyed myself enough to return thanks to the sound! read more

So my first time was for the NCAA D1 women's volleyball championships. That was fun but there were a lot of empty seats. This past weekend I went for the Dalai Lama. The security was said to be intense and we were in line from 11am till 12:30pm with our tickets in hand. By the time we got to the security, they were just letting people fly through the metal detectors not caring. This was very poor planning by the Yum Center and the folks running the Dalai Lama's show. And this time again it was said to be a sell out, but there were hundreds of empty seats in the lower bowl and on the floor. Ticket distribution is terrible and I think it's due to so many corporate sponsors just throwing away tickets. But otherwise it's a typical arena, with overpriced food and lots of bad nosebleed seats. This arena though has bathrooms much closer to seats than I typically see. read more

The Yum! Center is what takes Louisville from being a sorta big city with a small city feel to being a real big city. This is a great venue for sporting events (Go Cards!) as well as concerts and shows that may otherwise have not toured here due to there not being an arena large enough (e.g. Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi, Justin Bieber, and even the Dalai Lama!) Having only been open since 2010, the Yum! Center is still pristine and nearly sparkling! Lots of food and drink options are scattered throughout the arena including Taco Bell, KFC, Papa John's, hot dogs, hamburgers, pot roast sandwiches, pretzels, Hot Brown bites (haven't tried them yet!), beer, wine, and spirits. Extra special are the booths set up for Maker's Mark drinks and Homemade Ice Cream & Pie Kitchen desserts (a Louisville favorite). There is also a large Cardinal Authentic apparel and miscellaneous UofL items store on the first floor as well as a Norton Urgent Care facility around the side of the building! There are many places to park near here that range in price. If you want to park in the garage directly east of the arena it's usually $10, but the farther away you decide to park it will certainly be cheaper (and maybe even free!) Walk with a buddy! Show up early and get loud! (Oh, and don't accidentally drive to Indiana while finding a place to park...) read more

It's Great to have a new stadium i'n Louisville. I attended the opening night concert and enjoyed every moment if it. Great modern stage that rivals any new stadium. However it's nit without it's faults It feels we payed for a brand new Ferrari only to get i'n to it and feeling someone skimpy on the interior.

Went to the Brad Paisley concert. Drove 2 hours to get there. It proved to be a great place for a concert. Seats were in section 113. Perfect sight line. Also right by second stage setup at other end of the arena. It was loud but voices were very clear. Great sound overall. And it was clean. Outside there was ample parking ($8 for a parking garage right across the street!!) and local restaurants aplenty. I would drive extra just to see a show here again. 1 star deduction for ridiculous concession prices. Some things are the same no matter where you go. read more

This place is freaking amazing. It had just opened a few days prior to our visit; so, I have no measurement for the quality of events, audio, lighting, etc. here due to the fact that nothing had been held there. The architecture is absolutely breathtaking. I was most impressed by the pedestrian bridge connecting the garage to the arena. All the neon and artsy aspects are super cool. This place will likely be on the list of amazing concert venues nationally in the coming years. read more

I took my daughter to see Lady Gaga perform here and was impressed with the whole place. The layout was nice, you could tell that a lot of time had been spent creating a place with maximum seating without sacrificing visibility. Lady Gaga came out about an hour and a half late but that was hardly the fault of the venue. We are returning in August to see the Katy Perry concert, should be fun. read more

Its a beautiful structure. Love watching games here. Kinda crowded on the space though inside the arena. Around the arena it takes forever to get anywhere. Overall I like it and love taking my son there. read more

1st time ever visiting this facility. Wow it is world class and just as impressive on the inside as it is on the outside. I watched it being constructed years ago and finally got to attending a function inside. It is a state of the Art facility. Great concessions options and awesome drink selections all over the building. Smaller venue but had all the big time perks. read more

I'm old school.I go to games to watch the game.Upon entering, I liked the look of the arena and the staff was very friendly.We got free tickets to the UL Women's game against Pitt from the Boy Scouts.Our seats were in the corner of the end zone section of the court. The pros were the cleanliness of the building. I loved the box scores that popped up in each corner of the building.I liked the ability to follow each players stats while the game progressed.The screen on the scoreboard was high-def.They had screened off the upper section which made the feel more intimate and the crowd seem larger.All concessions were open on our level. The cons were no leg room on our row.I'm just over 5'11" and my knees were hitting the seat in front of me.It's basketball, I know there are numerous people,many of them female,taller than me who would like to watch a game comfortably watch a game. The other negative was the irritating ads that flashed across the ring around the court. While the game was going on, I was wondering who was using all the flash photography during the game.Someone with a basketball jersey fetish? No, it was just the latest ad for the uninformed masses who came to watch the uniformed select few do what we used to be able to do. Nice place, I'll be back because I like to watch kids have fun. read more

The chicken strips are tiny and the price is really expensive. ($8). Burger meal was okay. Chicken burger+wedges+soda was about $12. Since it's inside the center, it's convenient to access but the price is way more expensive than local KFC. For $8, I'd rather have pulled pork bun at Doc Crow's right across the yum center. read more

Nice place but a staff member sat us for a concert and at the intermission, minutes bf it started again, another staff member claimed we were in the wrong section. We ended up in better seats, but we were in our correct seats the fist time. Makes me wonder how many other folks were set wrong by the same lady that evening. If their staff doesn't know the seating any better than that, they shouldn't be working there. Our intelligence was insulted and we were embarrassed. We were right and the staff member was wrong. If she had attempted to set us in less desirable seating, more of a fuss would have been made. However, the other party involved paid for their ticket the same as everyone else. I will not be going back!! Parking was a headache too. read more

Hopefully when you read this the YUM center is still around and is not a thing of the past. They are having some financial issues to say the least, but I think if they raise the beer prices to $10 for UL games they may actually make money instead of lose money for each UL game. Starting to get some decent acts coming in, but usually we get the worst dates. Like a Sunday at 730 or Wednesday at 8, yeah we want those concerts but weekends are ideal especially if you want to pull fans from outside of Louisville. My main issues are drink prices, absolutely crazy for some concerts. The other problem I have is trying to exit the arena. Seems like having so many years to plan the design, they would have come up with a better exit strategy. I have been to many arenas and YUM has to be the worst to get out of, you are better off just sitting in your seat for another 20 minutes. Frustrates me every time I am in there. It's not a bad place to watch a concert or a game, but design and concession prices and selection are big drawbacks. read more

Best basketball arena in the country. The lower bowl is probably the most enjoyable place for a basketball fan...anywhere. Upper not so much, but you get what you pay for. The lower bowl bars (Burnetts and Evan Williams Bourbon Bar) are beautiful, reminding me of a Vegas boutique bar. Sipping on Woodford and watching college basketball is just about as good as it gets for this Kentuckian. The food is really good, bypass the KFC and go to the deli concessions, Boars Head panini and brownies. The Spirit Room offers a great view of the river. Actually, everywhere you go on the east and north sides are amazing, with views that are sweeping and just invigorating. Viewing the Yum from the Main Street side at night is amazing-it is just a beautiful facility that sparkles and creates such excitement and anticipation. The entire area is alive with bars, restaurants, glassblowers and enterprise. This facility is changing the entire downtown. I could not be happier or more proud to attend events here, it is just incredible-so bright and clean. A big city experience in my hometown, it makes me proud to be a Louisvillian. read more

Very poor seating design. When someone gets up to leave everyone in the entire row has to stand up to let them get by. Seems that the patron's comfort was never considered in this seating plan. Also the walkways are too narrow. I will never attend another event at this arena. read more

If you like abuse and incompetence, you'll love this place. I attended the Eagles concert at the YUM Center on July 6th. The concert was great and the facility is fine. The staff could use some training in human compassion, however. My cancer patient friend had looked forward to this evening as a personal goal and reward for 20 weeks of chemo and radiation following a breast cancer diagnosis. Less than 10 minutes following the show we were rudely told we had to leave the lower arena, then we were denied access across the arena floor because the chairs were "about to be broken down". When we reached the top of the lower arena, we tried without success to take an elevator to save my exhausted friend the effort of taking the steps to the second street entrance closest to our parking. We were told the elevator was for employees only (no sign indicated this) and that we would have to walk to the front of the arena to access the escalator. About this time a security person arrived and offered to get us down without further delay. He then WALKED US IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION TO THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING (3/4 OF THE WAY AROUND THE CONCOURSE). Astonishingly, we were perceived as some sort of security risk at this point. This was a comedy of errors beyond comprehension. My group spent almost $800 to attend this show. I will carefully consider my alternative options in nearby cities before giving another dollar to the YUM Center after the treatment we received on July 6th. read more

I was at the Brad Paisley concert last night at the Yum Center. It is a wonderful place for concerts. Seating is so much more comfortable that any past concerts I had previously gone to. Had a great time. There were 4 0f us. There was only one time that was really bad for folks. It mainly concerns the elderly and folks in wheel chairs and on crutches. At the end of the concert when folks were climbing the stairs and meeting the ones coming down the stairs to leave, it was crowed and there was a period of time that you had to wait to go upstairs that really had people upset. We sat in our chairs (floor level) to wait for it to clear a little. I am 67 yrs old and have a lot of trouble with my legs, so I was waiting, too. The men in white with red shirts, lab.ed security came up grabbed hold of the row of chairs and gave them a jerk and said "Get up!" "We have to move these seats" They were very rude to everyone. If we had been sitting a while I maybe could have understood that, but it had been only 5 minutes!! We couldn't even get close to the stairs yet. We moved over to the side where the seats sat at an angle and they said "You have to leave" Again no way to go up the steps, yet. Then they turned lights of, then back on. Someone could have miss stepped and fallen. I have never been treated this badly in all the concerts I have gone to in many years.They were mean and very RUDE. People were shocked and upset. Brad Paisley was a great performer and treated folks with respect and showed us a wonderful time. The security needs some lessons in RESPECT. No one talked to them nasty that we heard! Thank you, Sandy Davis read more
