Inside the Venue At A Glance

01

Mixed

Arrival & transportation

The official navigation and parking pages should control the route because a paid pass is currently required and show-specific opening times may be posted later.

02

Mixed

Seat & section strategy

Reserved pavilion and bowl seats have cover and assigned positions, while the general-admission lawn trades lower cost for weather exposure and variable placement.

03

Positive

Event-day character

This is a rain-or-shine outdoor concert venue, with the pavilion roof and open lawn creating materially different comfort plans.
