Great venue... highly impressed with our seats in section 11. DMB never disappoints either.. The parking situation was well managed and despite the thousands of vehicles present, the flow of traffic was efficient and well run. Lots of employees and attendants available to help guide and direct patrons. Can't wait to go back!

This venue is beautiful! What great energy & ambiance surrounded by a gorgeous park. I would recommend you get seats if you don’t want to be mashed in with extremely large crowds. Just inside the main entrance is the “Terrace” where you can purchase access to use locked, cleaner, less traveled bathrooms and sit at bistro tables, order from a smaller food & beverage area with less of a wait - totally worth the $20 if you can locate it when you arrive, not to be confused with the VIP area which is upstairs up top beside the back entrance. Look all the way to the right when you are facing the

We have been to many concerts at this venue. Yesterday we listened to the bands Squeeze and Hall and Oates play. I was disappointed in SPAC's sound system. When there was dialogue, you couldn't understand what was being said and could not clearly hear the words to the songs. I found the music too loud. We were disappointed as this has never been the case in the past.

This is probably the most unique concert venue you will ever see. There is a very high bridge that goes over the river below.
The venue has some indoor seating blended worth the lawn seating. They just redid everything and put in permanent restrooms and modern concessions.
The pavilion put in by bonacio is beautiful as well. As you can see from the pics it makes the whole area beautiful.
