Large amphitheater with plenty of restrooms and the lines were not too bad. The alcohol prices are outrageous even compared to many Chicago venues, but great time.
Desiree DMay 23, 2018
Here are some actual tips 1) Give yourself at least 1 1/2 hours to park and get in to the venue. 2) They will check you bags, pockets, boots, and sunscreen for drugs and alcohol.

This is a perfect venue for a concert on a beautiful summer night. Make sure you remember where you parked your car, finding it afterwards can be a pain

Good place for a concert in the south suburbs. Get there early for free parking or else you will be stuck in traffic. Bring a blanket for the lawn seats as the grass can get chewed up after rain.

Alcoholic beverages selection was great ! Many to choose from whatever you prefer 🍹🍻🍷 I got the Strawberry Vodka lemonade. Refills too!
Gigi CoscioniJuly 14, 2016
The concert was so awesome and the set was very cool.

Here are some actual tips 5) Alcohol is is around $15 for tallboys 6) You can bring a sealed water bottle (sometimes they make you twist the cap off)

When your ticket says obstructed view, you might not be able to see a good chunk of the stage. The posts in the reserved seating are huge.

"$250 fine of caught tailgating. It's a city ordinance". Tailgating also is sitting in your car drinking water to avoid the heat and waiting for gates to open. Thumbs down.

The venue is HUGE! Vans Warped Tour has a good mix of rock-esque genres! Lots to listen to for every one. Food here is damn expensive though! 6 bucks for fries!!?!? Crazy.

Awesome venue for summer shows. Worth the drive outside of the city!
Emma WebbJune 16, 2013
Even if you have lawn seats it's great!! No matter where you are you can see the stage fairly well!!
Desiree DMay 23, 2018
Here are some actual tips 3) You may smoke cigarette or cigar at lawn seating. 4) Food is generously portioned and will run you about $15.00.
JustineJune 21, 2014
This place is overly intense about rules. Open your water bottles in front of security and give them the bottle cap, food has to be in zip lock baggies, no umbrellas, no chairs, and you get pat down.

Came from Milwaukee to see Matchbox 20 and was impressed with the venue. It’s like a mini-Summerfest grounds.
Nick BarellaJuly 12, 2019
Cool venue hard to get to and hard to see from lawn
Jennifer CapriottiSeptember 10, 2014
took over an hour with the idiots they have working traffic.Came across a NEW place to park. Across from entrance 4 on Oak Park Ave,large parking lot and cost $15 to park and I was able to tailgate.
Jason XAugust 22, 2016
Formerly Tinley Park and a bunch of other names. There are some decent outdoor venues and this isn't one of them. Don't come here to see any bands unless you cannot see them anywhere else.

Lawn seats are the best! Get there early and relax! Best concert venue iv been too in years!
Sherri Ramponi-WaldvogelAugust 19, 2012
Even though they don't let you tailgate and chase you out of your car, get there early, and or you will miss part of the show with the terrible parking system.
AndyJuly 19, 2010
Sound quality sucks here. Do your hearing and your enjoyment a favor and bring a good pair of musicians ear plugs with you. Evens the sound out nicely and won't leave you deaf. Plenty online for 10-20
Maggie R.August 19, 2014
Bring a blanket to sit on the lawn. Great sound, even back there!
Collins EzeanyimAugust 26, 2013
This venue kind of sucks. It's way out of the way from Chicago proper and with few exceptions the staff doesn't seem to know what they're doing. Only recommended if you MUST see the act playing.
Wiz KhalifaJuly 27, 2012
we right next door to a golf course. Roll up some green while your ball rolls up on the green
Digital Tour BusMay 10, 2011
If you don't mind standing, try to get general admission tickets because it is the only sure fire way to get close to the stage!
Maribeth HearnMay 23, 2012
The VIP area here is really great. This is the way to go!
Sheri CarboneSeptember 8, 2017
The staff is very helpful and friendly.

Don't chug a gallon of vodka with 3 of your buddies in the parking lot thinking you will avoid paying for alcohol inside. You will only be seeing the medical office and/or the security office.
Madhu VulimiriSeptember 7, 2015
I would recommend bringing snacks so you don't have to wait in line for overpriced bar food.
Donna JeanMay 11, 2013
Wear good shoes. The parking lot sucks balls. You have to walk through chunky rocks to get to the gates. Gah. >,<
Jenny HartMay 23, 2017
Expensive drinks!! And the off main stage was not ideal. Main stage was great!!
Melissa RosendahlSeptember 1, 2010
Go to first Midwest Bank Ampthiteatre see a great concert, enjoy some great rock and roll and try a delicous frozen margarita
Amanda PetrigalaJuly 16, 2013
Traffic is awful when leaving. Seriously be ready to wait for awhile to get out of the parking lot when you leave! I've never sat in my car so long to get out of an event after it was over.
Mac MillerJuly 27, 2012
damn this venue is huge. oh, and they got Deep Dish Pizza out here too...Tinley Park style
Bert PluskaJuly 28, 2017
Parking lot needs more location markers - concession prices are ridiculously high and service is painfully slow. Seating is good.
Michelle VrkljanAugust 15, 2014
Amazing place for concerts.
Rostrum RecordsJuly 27, 2012
Enormously awesome venue for a non-festival type of show
Nathan NommensenJune 13, 2012
The band I saw (Radiohead) was great, but the rest of the experience was bad. Traffic is a nightmare and you had to move immediately into the venue after you park. No tailgating! (Tinley Park law)

Not the best sound, but large performers keep coming here so I have to go!
Nick FruendtMay 28, 2015
Lawn seats are a fun time!
Maura CarrollJuly 23, 2018
Not a lot of shelter from the elements but still a good time
