1. The stage is so low the front row is staring at the performers belly button. Even within 20 feet of the stage it is a struggle to see anything. I stand at 5'10" and I could barely keep track of anything on stage, my girlfriend couldn't see anything at all. You can stand ANYWHERE in the venue and you get a crap view. The back of the venue in the bar is about the clearest view if you can get one of the 20 places to stand between all the damn columns in the way.

2. The sound is AWFUL. The speakers are largely at floor level. We were a bit side stage and the bass was so strong, it was making me cough and my ears feel like they were going to bleed. Went to the bar to watch the show and it sounded like I was listening from outside on the street. Everywhere in between is garbage too.

3. The venue is right near all the stadiums. If there are games going on the night of the show, have a total blast trying to find a damn place to park.

I pray this place is torn down when the new stadium goes in. At least then, if another great band comes to town, they will be forced to play somewhere else. I won't be back again. To see another great band in this crap venue would be just another huge disappointment.

And yes I would actually give this place ZERO stars if possible!

It just makes Hooverville a bit of a clusterf*** before and after. But I'd rather wait in line there than the Pike Brewery.
