I know that people have very different views and experiences even at the same show. After coming across these reviews I have to give my own experience so that people know it's not all bad!

I went to this venue with my boyfriend and his best friend to see Down in September. We go to different shows and venues all of the time including both clubs and arenas. This one didn't seem all that odd or extremely different to any of us. It is a bit odd that there is only one set of bathrooms but this is basically just a one level place and it's not huge...it's just wide.

After going in and loving the general look of the place we glanced around to kind of make a mental map of where the bars and bathrooms were. The bathrooms are to the far side of the stage but not as out of the way as reviews say. I could see why the bathroom would be difficult to get to if it was not for the tape line on the floor (which, yes, could have been much clearer) keeping the crowd out of the aisle. Now I am not one who likes to stand on the outer edge of a show. Going from the middle to the outside of the crowd I didn't have a problem leaving or getting back into it.

There is a bar on the far side from the entrance and one to the right of the entrance against the wall. Again, I didn't see much of a problem with the locations even though Down is definitely a beer drinking concert. The price was pretty average I thought. $9 -$11 for beer. They had mixed drinks too but I didn't get any and don't know prices. We went to both bars a couple of times each on beer runs with no problems. Sometimes you just have to wait but I never really did since there were several attendants working each bar.

I actually really like when there are tiered sections (even though I don't often use these) and when clubs or arenas have TV screens. These are thoughtful for short people like me so we can still see what's happening even when a giant walks into our path...and stays there. I can't say anything about the quality of the screens or camera placement because I stayed up front and center for most of the show and didn't see them but everything sounded great and we all had an amazing time. I wouldn't expect any less from a Down show though!
