I am from Canada, my daughter and I went to the Brooks and Dunn concert on August 13/10 - It was fabulous ! We had great seats , the food was good - if you don't want to pay high prices - eat before you go - it is all part of the experience. We certainly were not patted down - they only looked in our purses. I don't understand the parking comments - for one thing it was free - that was very unexpected and we were out of the parking lot in 10 minutes and back to our motel in North Attleborough within 20 minutes. Would definately go to a concert there again. read more

I am slightly biased for this review since I only live 25min away from this venue and I'm from Massachusetts. However, I do agree that this venue could use some work. If you're from out of state,well, best of luck to you. I don't think I would enjoy this place if I had to drive more than an hour. The parking lot is great pre-event. As long as you're of age and not screwing arond too much, you'll be alright. I love this venue because it is close. I love the vibe you get from it being the summertime and you're outside enjoying music. If you want a good view, then I'd suggest getting seats under the roof. Lawn seats are best for people who are there to party or enjoy the music. For an actual experience and show, move foward. Make sure to eat BEFORE the show, do not expect a cheap meal that will fill you up. I've been to 5 shows here: No doubt, kings of leon, 311, shinedown, and nickelback. All were great but because I didnt expect too much. I've sat in every level. Make sure to avoid a "limited view" seriously, there will be a pole blocking your view. It is a good venue for groups and summertime fun. So to recap: 1. Pay for what you expect (seats, VIP parking) 2. Eat before the show 3. Tailgate, stick around after too if crowded 4. Plan travel, not the best location 5. Go to have fun, don't expect too much read more

I thought this venue was great. We traveled 4 hours to get there. We stayed locally at a nearby hotel and used the Great Woods Shuttle Service. They took us to and from the concert for $10 each way. No traffic, no worries and no problems. We saw Maroon 5 and Train. There were lots of people tailgating and having a great time before the show. Only saw the bike cops once. Bathrooms not too bad. Opted out of buying the $9.75 beers. Awesome sound at the show, nice open air seating. Fantastic time. Would definitely see a show there again. read more

I went to see maroon 5 and Kelly Clarkson last night. We left at 4:30 from 01845 for the 7:00 pm. show.Paid for the $40.00 parking, before the concert after reading these comments yesterday! It is normally a 1.5 hour ride turned into a 4 hour nightmare. almost missed all of Kelly! Left just before the end of the concert and it was really easy exit and ride home. I really enjoyed the venue and the concert, but would think twice about going again! read more

Just went here last Friday to see Blink 182. The sound was mediocre. Kind of expected better from a music venue but I also know that the bands playing needed some mixing work. The seats were all very easy to see from, and getting in the parking lot was great. Getting out was a whole nother story but an hour wait time for free parking is fine with me. The food was decently priced and very good. The drinks were extremely pricey at $6 for a soda. $4 would be more reasonable. Bathrooms were clean, and no wait time. All in all pretty great. read more

I recently saw Iron Maiden and had lawn seats. Stupid me thought, that they wouldnt be too bad. I could bring a blanket and enjoy the music. Was I wrong!!! The majority of the lawn seat area had no grass, only large wood chips, which were painful painful to sit on, even with blankets. It was just as crappy to stand, as the wood chips were large enough to throw off your balance standing. I also found it a little unsettling that there were so many people smoking pot and cigarettes and disposing of them in the dried out wood chips. I didn't see any type of security in the area which isn't too comforting In an over crowded sea of people. $14.50 for a draft beer is overpriced.! The premium parking was a joke. We arrived early and had to park in the back as all the parking spaces closest to the exit were blocked off. When my husband asked why the person directing traffic stated that they wanted to fill up the back rows first. So you get penalized for being early???? It makes no sense! There was no one directing traffic out of the premium parking - the attendants were off to the side socializing, so another traffic holdup while everyone fights to leave. All I can say is don't buy tix to the lawn seats, skip the overpriced beers and skip the premium parking read more

I have been going to the Xfinity Center for over 20 years and always enjoyed myself. I went to see Jack Johnson there last night. He was amazing, although the Xfinity Center was quite the opposite. First of all, you can't bring purses over 8 x 5 in the venue. So, many people had to go back to their cars and hide it under their seat. An email to all ticket holders could have solved this problem. The line to pick up tickets was over two hours long, which thankfully I wasn't it. Think about it, those people missed more than half of the concert! I ordered one beer and got terrible service. After waiting in line for 30 minutes they ran out of one kind and only had Bud available. No big deal right? When I asked for a water, the women said they ran out of water because they didn't order enough. When I expressed concert, she told me there were other venues I could go to. Upon leaving, we sat in the same spot idling for 1 hour and 30 minutes util a police officer finally noticed the congestion and hostility building up and told us that another lot had taken our exit. We all had to turn our cars around and take a newly opened exit out. Finally, we got to the exit on the street and were forced to take 495 North, when we live the way!!! Not to mention that everyone was smoking weed in the venue and no one was enforcing the no smoking rule. Thanks to them, my asthmatic mother, can't breathe today. Oh, and to top it off, the beer lines must have been dirty because I was up all night with a severe stomach ache. Or perhaps it was the beer servers dirty hands clutching the top of the cup before giving it to me. I have never in my life written a review for anything, so you can clearly see how bad my experience was. I will never go back here again. They can keep it. read more

I have attended 3-4 concerts per year here for the last several years and honestly find it to be one of the best outdoor venues in the area. Directions are super easy and highways are well marked with signage to the center. Mansfield Police do a great job controlling traffic into and out of the site. I have waited in traffic to get in, but never more than 20-30 minutes. I find that reasonable for the amount of people and cars headed to the same location. The earlier you go, the quicker the trip. Parking is free, but you do not have any choice where you park. You are herded in and parked side by side in huge lots. I have never paid for premium parking (usually around $50 in advance of the concert date), but it seems that those who do wait just as long as everyone else to exit. I don't think it's worth the money. I highly recommend arriving early (1-2 hrs.) and tailgating before entering. I attend mostly country concerts and there is always a great atmosphere outside the venue. The price of food and drinks inside really is outrageous and so tailgating is the most economical choice. Last summer I noticed a much stronger security presence among the tailgaters, and a real crackdown on underage drinking. To me that's a good thing -- I've been at too many other venues full of drunk and obnoxious teenagers. But if you are underage, I wouldn't risk drinking and tailgating. At the last concert I went to here, I saw security with police approach groups of partiers and ask for ID ( twice in 1 row of cars). Anyone underage was escorted out in a golf cart. Kiss your ticket $$ goodbye. I always purchase reserved seating but the lawn seats are a great value. I can't speak to the concert experience there. I did make the mistake once of buying reserved seats not under the pavilion and I wouldn't make that choice again -- the temperature was 105 and the sun was blistering. Things got better as the sun went down, but if it rains, you're out of luck. Under the pavilion is the safest bet. Seats are not the most comfortable, but most people stand throughout the concerts anyway. The sound is great and it's a pretty small venue, so most seats have a pretty good view of the stage. Unlike Gillette where you can be so far away you are really just watching the jumbo screens. Make sure you take ID inside with you if you're thinking of buying a beer. Absolutely no one is served without a valid ID -- no matter how old you are. I have seen people 50+ refused because they didn't bring their license with them. It's a little ridiculous, but, I guess it simplifies things too. Just have your ID. Again concessions are really overpriced, so maybe skip it altogether. Traffic leaving the venue is always heavy - what else would you expect when 20,000 people are trying to exit the same place ? All the complaints I've read in other reviews are about traffic. But I think if you are realistic about what to expect, it's not unreasonable at all. We always fire up the grill, have a burger or hot dog, play a little music and leave when things lighten up. No trouble getting back on highways and cruise right back to RI, no problems. Do not expect to walk back to your car and drive right out. I've been to the Xfinity center in Hartford, Gillette, Tanglewood, and several more, traffic in those places is much worse. Mansfield is a great location and managed very well. read more

Very Pleasant and fun experience seeing Brad Paisley! Other reviews are not really fair unless you some rich stuck up person. The VIP sections are great and you can hear the music outstandingly. The bathroom lines weren't as long as other places, and the park was very clean!! The VIP section has a bar and restaurant and the food although very pricey, is very good and is very well clean and cosey. Big t.v.'s all around so you don't miss the Sox score and very nice clean cut grass in the vip section. It feels like your walking through a zoo before you get to your seats and quite honestly the woodsy feel is a really good one. Parking isn't bad and wasn't hours leaving like everyone said. The staff is very nice and the show was outstanding!! If you have lawn seats, have no fear, there are giant video screens up so you can see all the action up close if you don't like looking from a far!! Venue was awesome but I'm not gonna lie these reviews scared me so I almost didn't go. Crock of garbage because the venue is not bad at all. So put off your white gloves, live a little, and go to a venue where you'll have the time of your lives!! read more

Went the the Jimmy Buffett concert last Saturday - had a blast! (How can you not at a Buffett concert?) It was our first time at Comcast and we splurged on tickets and went the whole VIP route with Fast Lane entry and VIP lounge as well as VIP parking. I agree with the last reviewer - the VIP lounge is a total waste of money. Small, $9, 14oz. Budweiser, porta potty. The regular bathrooms are right next to it anyway and open to all, as are other beer booths. Fast Lane entry was equally a waste of money as there was no back up at any of the entry points - maybe this isn't true for all concerts, but it was for Buffett which looked like it was sold out. The VIP parking seemed to be worth it - Getting in was a chore as all the tailgating took up two spots per one car and we had to tightly negotiate finding a spot without running over someone's grill or feet. The lot itself isn't any closer to the venue, but we were back on Route 140 inside of 30 minutes after the concert, when the other lots looked really backed up. All in all a good venue. read more

I am a 59 year old guy. I purchased 2 beers for $9.50 each. That's EXPENSIVE! They didn't check my ID, but I certainly look over 21. Then I handed one of the two beers to my 52 year old girlfriend. She is obviously over 21. A security employee aproached us and demanded to see her ID. She didn't bring her pocketbook in for the concert so she didn't have one. He insisted that we give him the beer. I told him that I would give the beer to a member of our party who did have an ID (there were 6 of us and the youngest is 45). He refused saying" you were seen handing it to a person without an ID, so you must turn it over to me or you will be arrested". When we all protested his action, he called for back-up and told us that unless we gave him the beer and moved out of the area he would have us taken into custody! I lost that battle, but I will tell this story to everyone who will listen, and I will NEVER visit these crooks again. THIS PLACE SUCKS! read more

08/25/2016 Black Sabbath was awesome ! I can't say the same about the petty security girl .The traffic had us running late . We would've only missed the first song if security girl didn't act unreasonably.I was tired,and had purchased a Pepsi for energy .I'm not a "can" person. The store i bought it from only had cans . That concerned security girl . She told me to dump out the rest of my Pepsi , because "no one ever drinks cans -I was the first". I did as instructed. No problem . What infuriated me was she than insisted my purse was too large . It isn't ,and I've never had a problem with it before . It 's been to numerous concerts with me . I asked if she could please search it . Black Sabbath was on .I had paid 300 dollars for tickets. I had missed the first song ,and would miss more songs . The car was parked a great distance away . Security girl refused to conduct a simple search . I would leave my purse in the car ,or leave the concert . She was on a power trip. If my purse was too big -she should've noticed that before a can of soda. I feel that I was a victim of racial profiling . I'm one who people think look Italian, Greek , middle eastern , etc.. That walk to the car cost me the pleasure of 3 more songs . Totally unfair ! I also was worried that someone would steal my purse . Her attitude was utterly unacceptable . My husband ,and I will NEVER return there . I was deprived of FOUR songs of an awesome show . I'll probably never get to see Black Sabbath again . The band was totally great . The security girl abused her power . read more

This is the third time I have been to this venue and it never gets any better. This place is awful. Saw Jack Johnson there on 6/9/17. The actual show was great as Jack is fantastic live, aside from the video monitors that need some serious upgrades. But Xfinity Center just plain stinks. We arrived hoping to purchase $40 VIP parking that everyone recommended.........nope, you have to do that in advance only. So we go inside and stop to get a beer for the show...........$15,00 for a beer!!! Are you kidding me? I literally could buy a 12 pack for less than the price of one beer here. But, I threw my principles aside and like the rest of the sheep I bought 2 beers. Hoping to get them unopened so I could put them in my pocket to take to my seat for the show...................nope, can't do that either. Can't trust you to carry around an unopened $15.00 can of beer. After the show, well you might as well just take a seat or take a nap cause as Dylan would say, "you ain't goin' nowhere". Nearly 90 minutes it took us to get out of the parking lot. The traffic around this place is absolutely ridiculous. In summary - very, very zealous security, over priced food and drinks, and beyond bad traffic and parking. If you have an option to see your artist at another venue.........take it. read more

I'm filing a complaint against the poor behavior of Xfinity center security officers. I had a small bag with two straps to resemble a backpack (although anyone with half a brain cell can tell that it is not a backpack), and was told by a security officer that it would be fine, since it is very small and is a purse. I held all my cash and phone and car keys in my purse so it was essential to bring in with me. Just before being let in, a security officer told me I was not able to bring it in. I was in the very front of a long line, and my car was on the far end of the lot. I relayed the information given by the first security officer, so he called someone else over. They were extremely impolite and would not let me in, just because my purse has two straps. I understand security procautions, however there are an abundance of other people with purses much larger than mine. I had to run across the parking lot and back and almost lost my spot in line. I would have been fine with putting my bag back if I had been giving the correct information the first time around. The attitude and general presentation of your security is very poor. Your security officers need to either learn how to do their job, or learn some manners as I will not be choosing this venue again. I would rather drive 7 hours than attend another concert at the xfinity center. Thanks.... read more

Saw Jimmy Buffett at the XFINITY Center in Mansfield over the weekend, my first trip to this venue. I read the previous reviews, lots of negative press. Personally I thought the XFINITY Center was fantastic, we did not have one problem. A little logjam getting in when the gates opened at 1pm, to be expected, and not very long. The tailgating was well organized, cops were there but hassle-free, no issues at all. Sat on the lawn, big screen tv's were great, sound was excellent. I did not purchase food or bev inside, people in my group paid about $28 for two drafts. After reading previous reviews I was expecting an hour plus wait after the concert, but we were out in about 10 ten minutes. Concert ended little after 10p, we were back in Roslindale 30 miles away eating pizza at 11. Everyone at the XFINITY Center was pleasant; I'm really trying to find an "oh but this sucked" but I can't. I've seen Buffett in many places, the X can hold its head up high, in my view. Don't be scared of the bad reviews. We came from upstate NY (Finger Lakes) for the concert and I would come back without question. Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you handle it. Peace out. read more

It was soooo much better years ago when it was called "Great Woods". Scalping was illegal in Massachusetts then. Today most tickets are sold to all the legal scalpers and you will pay from 3 times to 20 times the face value of the tickets. Last summer (2015) I bought my son tickets to his first concert. Slipknot, Lamb of God, and some other band. Two tickets that had a face value of $34.50 cost me $136.70 from StubHub and although the venue only holds around 9000 people, there were 8800 tickets available from scalpers on StubHub. This should be made illegal again. My first concert was Van Morrison at the Palace Theater in Providence, RI and tickets were $6.50. I haven't been to a concert in years. I've seen Neil Young, Van Halen, Alanis Morissette, Jethro Tull, Midnight Oil, The Cranberries, John Cougar Mellencamp, Oz Fest with Black Sabbath, Marylin Manson, Papa Roach, Linkin Park, Peter Gabriel and his WOMAD Festival and countless others at Great Woods and it was awesome. By the time the sun goes down and the warm breeze lightly blows and the sky darkens with a great band playing live right in front of you its an incredible feeling. Now having to pay at least $200 a ticket for 1 ticket for any decent band it not so fun anymore. I tried to find their schedule to find out whos coming and when tickets go on sale but my search turned up page after page of scalper websites and I could not find Xfinity Center's own website. read more

I am VERY disappointed with the Comcast Center and its staff for the show I attended 4 days ago. I went to see Pitbull and Kesha. I paid over $100 a piece for seats as I wanted to be under the covered pavilion and see them well. I don't know exactly why or what the hell they were thinking, but the Comcast Center decided it would be a good idea to allow all the individuals who paid for lawn/uncovered seats ($35) to sit in the empty $100 seats. They did this before the show even started, too! This is awful and unfair. I paid good money for my seats and I was then surrounded by drunk, high teenagers who were more interested in dancing and making out then watching a show. I couldn't even see the stage. It is completely unfair that I paid $200 for seats but yet people who paid $35 were able to sit next to me and even closer to the stage! I don't care if Pitbull and Kesha didn't sell out expensive seats and it "looked empty". That is unfair to the rest of us who paid for that money and I am disgusted and will not buy another ticket for this venue ever. I will be sure to let my friends and family know of this too and tell them to avoid the Comcast Center. Several confrontations broke up and it was mass chaos because all these people were sitting in the WRONG seats and sitting in the seats of people who paid for the tickets and who just hadn't arrived yet! So these people who paid good money had to deal with obnoxious people who were "told" they could move up and wouldn't move. A fight almost broke out between a group of people in front of us. Whoever made this decision should be fired. Pitbull and Kesha were great. But I could barely see them because I was surrounded by teenagers who SHOULD have been sitting back on the lawn where they belonged. I was very disappointed and will not be going back there again. Way to ruin it, Comcast Center. I'm sure I am not the only one pissed off about this. read more

my experience at the venue was great. i went to see AFI & Green Day aug 16th. we got there @ 4:30am, to wait all day (we had GA pit tickets!), but parking does not open til 4pm - that sucked. we had to park elsewhere. most people who bitched about the comcast center must have been drunken tailgaters, and i can't comment on that experience. the security guard who's job it was to babysit the line all day was really cool and nice. it's a big venue, and those are what they are, nothing worse or better than others. my only complaint is about the late 4pm parking. read more

it was the worst experience. i would never go back. besides the parking nightmare, their rules are way too strict. not worth spending 70 dollars on a ticket. i've never been somewhere that they look through everyones cigarette boxes. give me a break. how about worrying about something more serious. read more

Went last night for the Brad Paisley concert only to find out if your pocket book didn't fit into a gallon size plastic bag you could not bring it in, this has never happened before. We did not know of this restriction, but we do not own a smaller pocket book. What do you do when you need with you your sinus meds, nasal sprays, feminine hygiene products for that time of the month, etc. We were told to go back and put our purses in the car (who wants to have strangers see you put your pocketbooks inside your vehicle) or we would be denied entrance. Needless to say, we did not stay for the concert and are out our bucks we paid for the tickets which are high priced. Whatever happened to the checking of the bags at the entrance gates????? Come on Comcast Center, a woman needs her pocketbook. Needless to say, we WILL NOT be going back to this venue again, which by the way needs a major overhaul especially restrooms and figure out a better parking exit plan, takes forever to get out of there. read more

I have been to lots of concerts with my daughers and by far the Comcast Center in Mansfield has the worst parking I have ever seen and the staff is completely incompetent. I will give them credit for changing the Mens room into a Womens room for the night since most of the 20000 people were women/girls. But all the good memories of the 1D concert we saw is gone because we sat in the parking lot for 2 1/2 hours without moving even a couple feet. Staff wouldn't do anything, just stood around with the cops, begged them to do something to let us get out but only heard how "we would eventually get out" and " I have worked since 8am I can't leave until everyone else leaves". Not what I want to hear when I saw everyone behind me and in front of me leaving but we were stuck in the middle with an exit in front of us but barrels in the way because for some reason we couldn't get out that way. Probably the most frustrating experience of my life. read more

My husband and I Loved Dierks Bentley!!! But the venue-Horrible!! This is the WORST venue I've ever been to! The place is beyond filthy, people urinate everywhere and anywhere because there are not enough bathrooms and people just can't wait in line that long. There was trash everywhere including toilet paper. Puke everywhere! And a bottle of water is $4.75! I understand the beer being expensive but water keeps drunk people hydrated so they don't puke everwhere! The whole place is unorganized, right from parking which we waited an 1.5 hour to get out after the show. And if you are out of state and under 25 bring two forms of ID. I'm 25, presented my license and had to present a second form of ID. They say the Garden does the same thing, however I was just at the Garden a month ago and that is not true. Don't go here without getting all your shots first, including rabies vaccination. The staff was also rude and strict! I will never go back!!!! Do not bring kids here!!! read more

Okay so I've been to this venue so many times over the years for all different genres of music. And last night was the absolute worst visit to this venue I have ever experienced in my life. When there's a lot of people trying to leave the same place at once obviously there's going to be traffic, which is understandable. But me and my friend were directed to lot C when we arrived which is a lot we've never parked in before but whatever. When it came time to leave we got to our car at about 11:05pm and we didn't get out of lot C until 12:50am..it took about 2 hours to get to the road that leads out of there. There wasn't a single person in that lot directing traffic. In all the times I've been here I have never not seen a anyone directing traffic. Once we finally got to the road that leads out I see an employee one the side of the road literally doing nothing and I'm pretty sure he was a parking attendant. Meanwhile there were three different lines of cars for our lot trying to all merge together to leave. I have never ever waited that long to leave my parking lot at this venue ever. Something needs to be done about it because it's not okay to have no one directing traffic in certain lots, and it is certainly not okay for it to take you 2 hours to just get out of the parking lot you parked in. read more

Went to the Oddball Festival on Sept 9, 2016. After reading all the bad reviews, I approached the night with a bit of trepidation. Arrived at the venue about 4:30. Parking lot people were efficient and polite. No one gave me a hard time for backing into my parking spot. (Wanted to get out as easily as possible.) Oh, one attendant accidentally moved a trash can in front of the porta-potty door while my wife was inside, but it was an honest mistake. After enjoying a bit of pre-show tailgating, we headed inside at 5:30. Security people were also efficient and polite. Thanks to a guard giving me an early heads up that my wife's bag was too big to be allowed inside, we avoided wasting time waiting in line for an eventual trip back to the car. Once inside, we went to the secondary stage to watch a half dozen local comics do their pre-show routines. OK, the food and beverages are WAY overpriced. My advice to everyone complaining about the high prices: Do as I did and JUST DON'T BUY. The venue charges what it can get away with. If everyone bit the bullet a few times and managed to live without food and drink for a few shows, the prices would come down. We received an upgrade to Section 1. Yay! Decent seats, but we ended up moving back after intermission to position ourselves for a quick dash at the end of the show. All the comedians were hilarious. When John Oliver finished, we applauded as we quickly headed toward the exit. People directing traffic were great, and we were on I-495 North in under 5 minutes. All in all, a pleasant evening. Of course, the venue wasn't even close to being sold out, so I'm sure that made a difference. Your mileage may vary. read more

I just got home from Rascal Flats show at Comcast center. Which was awesome and need to commend the security and ushers. I showed up with a walker since I recently broke my foot and wasn't sure if I would be able to get to my seat in Sec 2. Great seats by the way.! Security informed me I could get to my seat with a walker but needed to ask the ushers in that section where I could leave it since there wouldn't be enough room for it at my seat. The usher (didn't get his name) was very helpful told me he would find a safe place for it and when I was ready fpr it he would bring it to me.He even said if I needed to use restroom to let him know. Once I was seated I was staying there. I mentioned how I wanted to leave during the encore due to high volume of traffic. He was right there at the end of my row with my walker during encore. I had such a good time not having to worry about my walker getting in everyone's way. I can't thank him enough for making my night so much easier. I even tried to slip him a few $ but he wouldn't take it. After reading all the lousy reviews about the place I thought someone would like to hear a good story. Oh and if you have a handicap sticker or plate you can park real close to gate.Traffic can be backed up so just leave a little early. read more

Come on! Put your big girl panties on and stop your crying! Wherever thousands of folks gather to hear great tunes from great bands there will be great amounts of traffic and gridlock. Try going to The Garden in Boston (yeah, I'm old school), or Gillette. I have great times at the Comcast. The sound is awesome. There really isn't a bad seat in the house. The crowds are always ready for a party. Yeah, alcohol and food is expensive inside...like everyplace else. Tailgating is fun there and I've never had an issue with the authorities. As long as you dont take it too far, and I've taken school buses of drunken revelers to Ozzfest & such. My point is this...if you dont accept the normal parking lot mayhem that comes with sharing great music festivals and shows with thousands of other earthlings then buy the DVD and sit on your couch at home. It's just part of the experience. Have a little patience people. Have fun with it. read more

The Tweeter Center has gone downhill since Comcast took it over. For the last five years I've gone to Mayhem Fest and everything's been more than great. Every year before this year I've been able to buy lawn seats for very reasonable price, but this year I had to buy real seats for so much more money. For the people that complain about tickets prices and say if you go there and buy your tickets and it's cheaper, it wasn't for me. Before I bought my tickets I called Comcast and asked them for the final ticket price and it was the as online. A second thing that really pissed me off was they took all the caps off of every ones bottles so everyone had to walk around all day with open containers and their excuse for this was "so people can't throw the bottles on stage". If someone is going to throw a bottle up on stage they aren't going to worry about if their cap is on or not. And why can the bands throw their bottles at us? Lastly, Comcast doesn't not have any clue how to let everyone out of the parking lot quickly and organized; it's pretty much a free for all. It takes a good 45 minutes just to leave the parking lot while everyone that works at Comcast are just standing around outside talking, it's like dude someone direct traffic. Comcast really needs to step it up. read more

Attended the Kid Rock concert last night, this was the first and last concert we'll attend here!! We had three teenagers plus myself and my wife, so we bought lawn seats. Before the sun had even started to go down, several people near us started openly smoking pot and it just continued to get worse from there. Apparantly you can smoke whatever you want wherever you want at this place. Of course everyone just ditches the butts on the ground, can't believe there aren't more blankets or clothes caught on fire. Then the drunks started spilling beer on the kids, fighting, arguing, and just being a** holes!! There were drunk people pulling down their pants and urinating in the crowd, getting urine all over people. Had to leave early, couldn't stand the smoke any longer. No police or security anywhwere to be seen, except when we were leaving we saw three officers standing shooting the breeze and talking on their cell phones. Wife and daughter couldn't use the restroom before we left, they were absolutely disgusting!!! Over flowed toilets and pee everywhere. Talked to customer service and the assistant event manager before we left, they didn't seem overly concerned. Asked if I wanted to fill out a comment card!!! Never, ever again will we be back. We live in NH and normally go to Meadowbrook. Now that's a great venue that's clean and secure. read more

I was very excited to go into see Heart, Joan Jett and Cheap Trick last night. Until I got molested getting through the gate. A woman with rubber gloves on told me to put my hands up and proceeded to place her had sideways between my cleavage and run both hands along the full line of the underside of my breasts. Two of my less endowed friends were not searched in this manner, but one of my better endowed friends was as well. I have been to MANY concerts and sports games and have NEVER been "checked" like that before. I felt violated and was really angry about it. What was I supposed to be hiding inside my bra? A gun? The security person is very lucky she did not get whacked, because I had to exert control over my automatic reaction to shove her away from me, which is what any normal person would do when someone tries to violate your space without warning. Unfortunately, toward the end of the night, a man in the "lawn" seats behind us sat down, leaned forward and proceeded to pee behind us, splashing urine on the back of our legs. Stay classy Mansfield. I won't be back. read more

Saw Rascal Flatts last nite after they gave us a free upgrade, very disappointed, they put us in the covered section and everyone in front of us stood the entire concert, so saw nothing unless I wanted to stand all night . Word to the wise our reg seats were in second section up outdoors but less than 100 feet from the screens they have set up can watch on them all nite and see everything . Secondly they change the rules halfway thru the game , went to FG L last week no problems this week get to the gate and you cant take any handbags in bigger than this 8X5 brick. I am elderly and pack everything but kitchen sink , had to go back to car and unload it all into a baggie , they should warn you at the main gate driving in no handbags bigger than a baggie allowed. worse concert for me this summer and we have mega tickets been to them all. read more

this venue is one of if not the worst in the state. it is run by live nation and they have bassicly run it into the ground, over the past few years the only thing they have done was take half the lawn area and convert them into seats other than that no real improvments have been done. the sound is iffy it all depends on if the band has a pro sound enginer or not. security is joke hear they do not know how to search people and they have no clue how to control a crowd they think hiring a bunch of college football reject meatheads can keep a crowd in line. just go to a ozzfest and every year halfway though the main stage the lawn gets torn up and security runs and hides and lets the crowd run a much. just use this as a rule of thumb any venue or concert that has live nation attached to it wil be over priced and held at a second rate venue like this. if you are looking to see your favorite band your better off going to see them somewhere else than here read more
