I have a real Love Hate relationship with this venue. It's close to my house and it does pull a lot of great national acts. As previously reviewed the sightlines are good and the sound is OK at best.
I shoot photos at this venue often and the stage lighting is decent but it seems like they've changed something recently and the tones are more on the red side - which is a photographer's nightmare.
The security team is never on the same page with venue and artist policy and protocol. There is always conflicting information between the team members which inevitably ends up with in a run in with them for me.
I am not a fan of Luckyman Porductions and I think it's time for someone else to take over our area and expose these guys for being the greasy businessmen they are. Surcharges, upcharges, taxes, parking fees for a lot I'm not sure they own or have the rights to just to name a few.
Basically, I go there because I have to but given my choice I would prefer The Celebrity Theater or The Orpheum Theater in Phoenix any day.
