My first time at this venue was to see Metric and The Smashing Pumpkins. I have to day the sound was amazing and the staff friendly. Here's MY issue though: if you are taller than maybe 5'8", you are not going to be comfortable. I'm a big dude, I'm 6' 7.5" and my legs could have got flat on the seat in front of me with my knees clearing the seat back. I physically could not fit behind the row in front of me. And this was section 104 on the lower level, not like nosebleeds or anything. So our usher was very nice and sent us to guest services and they moved my wife and I to disabled seating. They hadn't been sold so i didn't feel bad about taking a seat away from someone with a disability. I thought that was a very body positive and forward thinking move on the Schottenstein Center's part. The lady who moved my wife and I (I was allowed one person to move with me! ) was a little salty, but that has to be am irritating job, dealing with drunk concert goers and whatnot. Anyway, fair warning if you're anywhere approaching tall, you may want to double check with the venue before you go. I don't think I can stress enough how LITTLE room there was in those seats. But other than that we had a great time and the seats they moved us to were killer!
