Outstanding Outdoor Venue

The Greek is relatively small, maybe it can accommodate a crowd of 5,000? With stadium seating, there's really no bad seat in the house.

There's usually a standing room pit in front of the stage, and if you arrive a few minutes after the opening act begins you can usually squeeze right in there, because it's close to the entrance.

Also, if you're on a tight budget, just walk around the theater (behind the Foothill dorm) and hear the music for free - love those acoustics!
