Note to self when artists are big enough to book this venue (aka they can charge premium to fill the stadium with thousands of warm bodies) it's time to search for the "next big thing". Aside from trying to avoid paying exorbitant prices, I've come here for Celtics, Harlem Globetrotters and of course concerts. It's conveniently located off of the Green/Orange line at North Station so it's definitely less expensive to take the T than pay $45 event parking.

The venue itself is the largest in Boston and once you enter there are people who are every few hundred feet checking your tickets. One important thing to note is that the "no bag policy" applies just to backpacks and laptop bags. I was an idiot and didn't take it seriously so I had to pay a local bar to check my bag for $10. If you have a small purse you should be fine. Food here is over priced and mediocre as to be expected when you are held captive with limited other options and no re-entry. Once you find your seats I feel like 90% of the people will be using the large screens for reference rather than actually being able to see the performers.

While this would not be my top choice for venue, it gets the job done and it's close to public transit unlike Bank Pavilion (Seaport) which is headache to navigate to Silver line from Green line. Oh and be prepared for the endless stairs trying to get out if you are walking down from the Balcony level...
