The venue itself is pretty great. Thanks to two large screens that show close-ups of the performers to either side of the stage, even the rear-most seats are good vantage points (the attached picture was taken from section C, seat 120, uppermost level). You can tell the camera work is done on the fly so there are occasional hiccups when they incorrectly anticipate a performer's movements, but by and large they do a great job.

Parking is crazy, but of course it's LA. I would recommend pre-paying for parking online. It's $5 cheaper than if you pay at the lot, AND you can use a credit card (the lots themselves are cash only). General-purpose parking ranges from $20 to $75 for "quick-park" (where it looks like they just stuff you in the VIP lot near the front of the park)



Food here is rather expensive, as one would expect. Bottled water and soda is $5 and 3 chicken fingers with fries was $12, as were the loaded nachos. They also have a burger and a few clubs for similar prices. The one dish I tried was decent quality in my opinion (think like Applebees maybe). There is also a Mercedes-Benz mini-restaurant, but I have never tried that.

The only reason I take off a star is the lack of seating. Once you get food, it's quite a task to find someplace to sit; they don't let you start migrating to your actual seats until 30 mins before showtime, and the parking lots open 2 hours beforehand, so it's quite a lot of time to be wandering around. You'll see a lot of people sitting on the walls near the gardens.

Overall, great venue with decent food and parking. Expand the corral and some more seating though!
