I'm here regularly for gigs and even Chris Rock's comedy show.
The shape means the acoustics are pretty good and there's plenty of food and drink outlets all around the venue - if there's a queue at one, just walk a little further as people simply go to the first one they see and choke it up. There's even a merchandise store on the way in if you fancy getting there early.
With a vast range of bars and restaurants I always head up there to eat first. They all know you're in a hurry before a gig so you get seated and served quickly. If the first place you try is busy, just move on, there's loads of them.
