    FYI... Better to be safe then sorry. Don't park in neighboring back lots. It's a scam and your car will be boxed in and the "attendants" long gone.

    The teenagers here are extra frisky but the sound and lights are generally excellent. Great photos can be taken in the pit.

    It's a beautiful venue, but they blast the AC. Bring a jacket. And it's probably best to wear tights under your high waisted hipster shorts!

    Cool venue but acoustics are really bad for high pitched singers: so be warned. Can sometimes sound like shrieking.
