    Pitbull, after many years in between tours, didn't disappoint. L'il Jon didn't disappoint. The add-on Backyard? The complementary food was good but you'd need to queue up several times to make up for a proper meal. But the clean and air conditioned restrooms, DJ, and yard games were fabulous!

    The XFINITY Center is a great place to see a show. Tucked away in the woods, it feels like you've left the real world behind for a few hours. There's something about being surrounded by trees instead of concrete that makes the whole experience feel a little more intimate, even when you're sitting with thousands of other people. The sound was fantastic, the views were great from just about anywhere, and the tickets didn't require selling a kidney. Food and drinks, however, are priced as if they're sourcing ingredients from a remote island accessible only by helicopter. I finally got to see Jack Johnson after waiting about 25 years, and somehow the show still exceeded expectations. Absolutely worth it. The staff was friendly, helpful, and the venue itself was easy to navigate. The parking situation, on the other hand, felt less like event planning and more like a social experiment. I arrived early, parked in the first open lot, and thought I was being smart. Turns out I was just getting a front-row seat to one of the least organized traffic exits in Massachusetts. When the concert ended, thousands of cars attempted to leave at once while seemingly nobody directed traffic. The official strategy appeared to be crossing fingers and hoping for the best. I'm fairly certain I spent more time leaving the parking lot than Jack Johnson spent on stage. Still, for one of the best concerts I've ever seen, it's hard to stay mad. The parking was awful, but the show, the atmosphere, and the venue itself made it a pretty easy trade.

    First concert in years at this venue. it was a great concert (Sammy Hagar) ticket prices reasonable. But the drinks prices way overpriced. The service was helpful and the atmosphere was 1984.. will return for more events in future.

    I've been to many many shows here and it used to be a great time! Reasonable ticket prices reasonable concessions. No more. The ticket prices have gone crazy with every other venue but concessions are INSANE. We took my mom to Rod Stuart this past weekend. One round of drinks (3) and a water for my mom $95 before tip and they expect a tip. The merch stand tries to automatically add 18% tip on a $40 tshirt or $75 sweatshirt. Umm no. It's just not worth it anymore. Don't even get me started on the parking! I didn't pay for parking because we have a handicap placard. I got 7 separate emails reminding me to pay $100 for the red lot to get out early. Are you out of your freaking mind???? We left with at least a song or two to go so we wouldn't sit in 3 hours of traffic.

    I love this venue and have been coming here since it was called Great Woods. I like that it's small, so there's not a bad seat in the house - regardless of whether or not you have lawn seats or vip seating. If you arrive as the gates open, the venue is very easy to navigate, with lots of parking attendants directing traffic and security team members handling entry into the venue. They even have a shack between the parking lot and the check in line where you can check to see if your bag and personal belongings will be allowed into the venue, which is a time saver if you have to run back to your car to put things away. If you arrive after the gates open, parking can be tricky if you are trying to use the free parking lots because they fill up fast. If you know that you'll be arriving later if may be worthwhile to pay for VIP parking or having someone drop you off. The food and beverage options are plentiful but pricy, expect to pay premium pricing for everything. Many people opt to arrive as the gates open and tailgate before heading into the venue to ensure they get a good parking spot and can eat/drink ahead of time. Tailgating is a fun time at this venue, the vibes are good and it's a great way to enjoy time together ahead of the concert.

    Plastic bag they provided over my bag, which is clearly bigger

    I have to carry a bag with an inhaler and an EpiPen. I always look ahead to check the bag requirements, so I brought my small bag only to be stopped by a rude woman who said "I know you don't plan on going in with that bag, because it's too big. You're going to have to check it in or walk back to your car." I tried to explain that I had medication and it wasn't too big but she wasn't having it. I went to check in my bag, which cost $10, only to be given a clear bag that was slightly bigger than the bag I had. (Pictured) When I questioned it with the people at the bag check in counter, the girl laughed in my face & said my bag wasn't getting inside the center. I was frustrated at this point and was looking for the fast lane check in, so I stopped and asked another worker where it was, they pointed and said "Over there, so hurry up!" I was completely floored by the rude service, the only saving grace was the Sam Adam's Club. It's worth paying extra to get good & kind service. They have private air conditioned restrooms, couches, and they will hold your merch until the end of the show. I paid extra for premium parking, and it still took over 40 minutes to leave....very disorganized. Thank goodness the show was great!

    Racist lady

    Wouldn't let me get down to my husband and children because she thought my ticket was fake. (This is taken after I got back to my family) very saddening seeing racism still alive. I am so disgusted because no one handled this situation.

    The venue is wonderful, the parking situation is not. Any show I've seen here has been super well done. The location is safe, staff is wonderful, shows are seamless. The prices on the food and drink are very high, but that's typical for a venue like this. My main issue is the parking. They have to figure out a better way to get people at least moving in under a hour. No matter what lot I end up in, it's always 90-120 minute wait. Other than that, it's a nice venue and a great spot to see a show. Just be prepared to wait a long ass time to get home afterwards.

    Came back for another show and tried the free parking again, this time was awful. We should have arrived right on time but It took us a full hour to move the last two miles and if it weren't for the opener, would have missed a huge chunk of the concert. We ended up in a lot in the way back, the row behind me was so close it took a lot of maneuvering to get out of my spot, and even though we left early with the band having 3-4 songs left in their set, hit a little traffic getting out of the lot. I can't imagine how awful it would have been trying to get out after the show ended. They need to coordinate some public transportation to this venue or set up shuttle buses to an outside lot to offload the traffic because otherwise the traffic getting in and out wastes so much of your time.

    Xfinity center is the old great woods. I love all the outdoor space. This place has mostly covered seats but do have outdoor seats and grass area. The parking is easy and moves quickly. The food options are fair with the prices being high like every other concert venue. The place is in the need of several upgrades. The sound is not good. It's muffled as you can hear in the short videos. The ceiling tiles is coming apart. The last concert was under sold. The weather was not great and started to rain. They told the outdoor people to move down into the covered area without supervision and became chaotic. The problem was people were now in our seats. Expensive seats by the way. They refused to move. Had to get help. Their customer services moved us to new seats in a subpar seats. Became a mess and made the whole event enjoyable. Who ever is in charge should be moved to making hotdogs.

    Hoping to walk into the tailgate with our backpack of drinks and cups as we are ubering- will have to carry it around before we ditch it. Anyone know if this is possible/ done this before? Suggestions?

    I was there two weeks ago, this was the policy. Guests must walk through metal detectors before… 

    What restaurants are nearby for dinner prior to a show?

    There aren't really a lot of restaurants. You'll have to go around medfield and those exits if you want restaurants. Mainly dive places in Mansfield.

    Do they cancel shows in case of rain?

    No, they do not cancel shows due to rain. Bring a poncho or garbage bag because they do not allow umbrellas in.

    I have tickets to Dave Mathews in a few weeks with a large group. We're thinking of taking a bus/limo. Does the limo lot allow for tailgating?

    I was there for Dead and Company and saw the largest tailgating parties i've ever seen nationwide. New Englanders KNOW how to tailgate. There were zero restrictions what so ever. As long as you behaved yourself, the grills, smokers, pits were… 

    I'm seeing different info on the size bag allowed in..are small crossbodys ok?

    I recently went to a kiss108 concert there and got in with a small crossbody just fine. Anything bigger had to be a clear see through bag. Check with the event to see if there are specific rules!

    How strict is the bag policy? If my wristlet is 6"x5" (instead of the 6"x4.5" policy).... is that going to slide?

    I think you should be OK...they're pretty strict about the size but I don't think a half of an inch is going to break it
