Review of Comcast Theatre

I enjoyed it overall with a few exceptions. Pros:

I enjoyed it overall with a few exceptions. Pros:
*Handicap accessible from parking to seating.
*Fairly large lawn space where lawn chairs are allowed and rented.
*You can bring in your own water and food. Food must be in a gallon ziplock. No coolers
*Projection cameras for the lawn, but with enough of an angle to it to be able to see the stage as well.
*Covered actual seated area for a price.

Cons:
PARKING. If I have a ticket I should be able to park at the venue and not have to walk over a four lane highway to get to the venue. Parking at the venue is available if you arrive about 2-4 hours early. You can also get VIP parking for a huge price. And private parking lots offer for a price as well. Cheapest I saw was $15. This is ridiculous IMHO. Not everyone that is unable to walk far has a handicap plate.
* $$$ I guess that is the biggest part of the music industry in the digital age. suck them dry at the show. Covered seating area tickets are more than double the cost of lawn seats or more. Rent a lawn chair. Buy anything. Park your car AT the actual venue. Sit in a covered area in case of rain..or close... or actually ON the stage for some shows... But it will cost you a bundle. Upgraded area is bountiful and lawn area is not.
*Security is lax on the lawn. Smoking is permitted. So is underage drunkenness apparently. I moved my blanket three times and still ended up having a sleeping drunk teenager who was previously wrestlefighting his friend right next to me AGAIN. CT people use hateful words too, regardless of who might be sitting right there.
*Unless this is a kid specific show, do not bring them. Too many drunk people doing stupid things ruin the fun for others. Kids would just be out of place and possibly hurt.
*Trash everywhere. Fries, beer cans, nachos all over the lawn. Gross people in CT.
