SamAugust 13, 2014Awesome venue! A lot more fun when your in the lawn. Your allowed to bring lawn chairs and I highly recommend it!
Chuck StaplesAugust 10, 2014Blankets, chairs and water all ok for the kiss / def leppard show. No hassles. One of the outside lawn screens is having a digital freak out though.
Colleen MeganAugust 20, 2014I've seen countless concerts at Xfinity by scoring tickets last minute. Both the seats and lawn are great. I wouldn't recommend seats if you plan to stand during a concert, people tend to get angry.
most shows have lawn hoppers available where you buy a lawn ticket to get in, but then pay $20 once you get inside to get upgraded to a real seat.
- Nicholas TinsleyMay 22, 2018Great big lawn with unobstructed view of the stage, but the jumbotron screens are kind of small for the distance.
Lacie CzyzewskiSeptember 14, 2015We saw Jason Aldean and it was amazing! We live in NY and we will definitely be back to this place because it was so nice!
Adam DeleoAugust 19, 2018I love this place and I’ll love watching people get mad over people standing and dancing at a concert
leslieJuly 22, 2016Warped tour!!! Good set up & the amphitheater is built with sound quality in mind!
Jonathan CordeauMay 13, 2013Pick out a seat ahead of time - scope out the empty seats waiting to be claimed to see the best seats available while supplies last.
Chris RJuly 22, 2016The lawn has screens that are hard to see or screens that aren't working correctly!
- Jonathan CordeauMay 13, 2013Use promo code “Firstpogo” to receive $10 off of your first upgrade! What are you waiting for?! Get closer to the action right now!

Alex HennesseyAugust 23, 2015Lawn is typically a douche fest. Back of the house seats, however, will afford you a pretty good view, and they're covered
Ben StreibAugust 13, 2013Even if shows are sold out there's always tickets available online. Nothing better than a country concert in the summer
Letif BelcherJune 20, 2014I definitely prefer the lawn seating. Drinks are expensive so if you're gonna drink, pregame in the parking lot before the show
Raymond LaracuentaJuly 10, 2013Hot and muggy here. Dress light as shorts and flip flops. The Black Keys don't go on until 9:10pm. Opening act not amazing lol.
Libby KoberMay 28, 2015definitely logged more summer nights here than almost anywhere else - always the meadows to me
VH1July 21, 2010Want to avoid the crowds? Head over to the Comcast Hotspot - a covered patio that has free Wi-Fi, bathrooms with short lines, and a full bar. – Team Live Nation- Jonathan CordeauMay 13, 2013Follow us on Facebook and Twitter (@Pogoseat) for coupons and promotions during the concerts!

Inside beers are expensive...but at the stand that looks like a giant bud lite can they got the best deal...its $11 but its a pint...its one of the better deals in the place..- Jonathan CordeauMay 13, 2013Deciding to upgrade halfway through the event? No worries! Seat upgrade prices lower as time goes on!
Watch out for douchebags in the parking lot who will come within a half inch of demolishing your car by backing into a stream of cars...and then yell at you for it.
Sarah BeckerJune 2, 2012You have to get here realllly early to get parking. We paid $10 just over the bridge, bit of a walk.
- Pregame in the parking lot, who wants to spend upwards of $8 on a beer? Also they let you bring water bottles up to 1L, but make you toss the cap at the door so they can charge you $4 a cup for water.
Frank RobertsAugust 31, 2013Take the first free parking closest to Hartford. The line for the rest sucks and the parking companies are rip off artists and thieves.- If u put an extra cap in your pocket you can have a cap for your water because security will take the cap off your unopened water and throw it in the trash...
Lipton Iced TeaMay 9, 2012Hey music lovers! Enjoy country music? Check out our behind-the-tour video series with Lady Antebellum: http://bit.ly/DrinkPositive
Concerts have been great but the staff can be very rude. Rules constantly change about what can/can't be brought in and they seem to discriminate based on age.
- Some shows only allow 1 beer purchase per person with valid Id. Sucks when you are there with someone else
- Liam BollingJune 9, 2013Do not get lawn tickets if it has been or is currently raining outside. It becomes a mud bath. Over priced food also so eat outside the venue.
Erica CookJune 4, 2014Unless your a drunk who likes to be in shoulder to shoulder crowds don't waste your money. The sound was awful all three bands sounded terrible. Mostly underage people passing out and puking no thx
Linda T.September 1, 2013This is our first and last time at this venue for sure. Parking is nearly a mile away; food options limited and pricey; not enough staff. 'Nuf said.
Chris AffieSeptember 11, 2011Most shows that are not sold out you can upgrade your laen seat for $10 to the pavillian
Christina EasterOctober 18, 2010Get parked early so you don't get stuck in traffic on the highway from backed-up cars in gridlock- Pre game your face off in lot. Everything is small and expensive here
- At most shows you can bring a blanket ...at Dave Matthews and Phish you can not...
Steven BlinderJune 8, 2016How do I park to not be stuck in traffic jam after the show? First trip to xfinity Hartford.
David LemieuxJuly 24, 2010Just like Riverside and the Oakdale, this will ALWAYS be the Meadows to me. Screw you, corporate owner!
