MixedThree complete owner drawings separate the stage/main hall, entrance lobby and premium 40 Below lounge. They preserve amenities and circulation rather than numbered concert inventory. The PDF’s footer ZIP conflicts with the current visitor page; navigate to 520 Texas Avenue, Houston 77002. Lounge access and accessible routing require separate confirmation.

Bayou prohibits ordinary outside food/drinks. No ordinary sealed-water or empty-bottle allowance is stated in its reviewed visitor page. Coordinate necessary medical/infant liquids and the actual show directly.
