My first experience at the Boulevard Pool gave me some mixed feelings about the venue. I went with 2 of my buddies to the Of Monsters and Men concert on April 17th. The venue was very crowded, but there was still a sense of intimacy between the audience and the band that could be felt from where we were standing.
One of the things I hate the most about outdoor concerts is that I have a big tendency to get very cold, and Boulevard Pool didn't cater to that need at all. The whole time I was there, I spent more time thinking about how cold it was than actually enjoying the bands performance. If they could add maybe a heater or two, or even turn on the ones they already have, I think it would have made things much better. However, even though I felt frozen half the time, when Of Monsters and Men came on stage I quickly forgot about all those bad things.
Boulevard Pool offers a great experience for music lovers who enjoy having more of an intimate concert experience. Just remember to bring a jacket!
