I think 2 stars might actually be a bit high.
Saw Bob Seger here and was pleased with his performance, the arena left a lot to be desired.
Just getting on to the property was a freaking nightmare. You would think with that big of a concert they would have had the police or even a crossing guard out there directing traffic, nope it was everyone for his or herself until on property. Once in the parking lot things was slight better but it was still a great cluster you know what.
Getting past security and the ticket checkers was great. Very fast and professional.
They had 2 merchandise table set up with no apparent lines just an insanely large mob of people crowding the tables.
God help us but we did get food while there. As you can imagine everything was outrageously priced, like $5 for bottle of water and $10 for extremely salty and stale popcorn. We did get some pulled pork nachos from one stand that easy that bad.
The seats was ok. Since it is a smaller arena, it looked like most if not all the seats had a pretty good view.
The biggest disappointment was the sound quality. With the opening band you couldn't understand half of what they was singing. Once Seger got on stage it did improve slightly but it still wasn't very good.
We left with about 15 minutes or so left in the show to avoid traffic. But so I can't really say how bad it was getting out, I can only imagine it would have taken hours to get back out if we had stayed till the end.
All in all, we won't be back unless someone we absolutely have to see is playing. Just not worth the hassle. read more
