Beautiful venue, but very poorly laid out. If you're sitting anywhere near the middle of the amphitheater, it's 5 flights of steps either up or down to a toilet. Then you can either wait 25 minutes in line at one close to the stairs, or go up and down another 50 stairs or so to the one in the gift shop. There's an elevator, but good luck with that.
So if you want to drink beer, which is 13.50 for a 24 ouncer, or 9.50 for a small cup of draft, plan on spending your entire night going up and down stairs. I didn't even drink a beer, and what with them changing the entry line 3 times, and going to the restroom a few times, we estimated we walked up and down around 800 stairs. So if you're physically challenged at all you're not going to have a good time of it.
And if you don't like a constant cloud of weed and cigarette smoke in your face, don't go. There's no smoking inside the venue, but it's totally not enforced.
And parking, if you don't get there 2 hours before the doors open, count on a mile or two hike uphill after parking on the road, because you're not getting anywhere near the parking lots by the venue. And count on it taking 2 hours to leave if you're parked in a bad place.
If they had port-a-potties at the landing of each flight of stairs in the arena it would make the whole experience much better.
I'll be seeing my favorite bands elsewhere, this place is just not worth the hassle.
