I checked out a band last night at Olympia Theatre. The band was great, but really can't say the same about the facility. The place has a lot of character, and while I realize it would take a bit of cash, a ton of potential to be beautiful.
The upstairs, where the bathrooms are is terrible. The ceiling is patched up in different spots, not painted, the bathroom itself looks like one I would expect to find at an old sports arena, (on a very busy day).
My seats for the show were on the floor. They really need to space them out a wee bit more. I understand the desire to fit as many in as possible, but I am only 6'1" and my knees were continuously either touching the seat in front of me, or the buttocks of the fellow on the seat in front of me. Quite uncomfortable. And if someone needed to get by in front of me to exit the row...let's just say that we got to know each other better!
This is a building that deserves a makeover.
