I've been here a couple times and I've enjoyed myself for the most part. However, the last show, granted on Valentine's Day, was not handled well. The workers seemed completely overwhelmed and unable to effectively control the crowd. Luckily, I was able to foresee this happening & got there extra early but even with the small crowd, they struggled.
I won't go into the adjacent parking lot because that deserves a review ALL to itself.
During the show, 1 of the artist, Monica, was apparently running late. Right in the middle (or first third of her set), they cut her mic off. It was 1 of the rudest & unprofessional things I've seen ever. As she pleaded with them to allow her to do 1 more song, to no avail. I understand the importance of sticking to a schedule but you're only hurting the fans, not the performer. It was horrible. Aside from others fans keeping the crowd calm by performing (dancing), there's no telling what that could have turned into. Very disappointing!
