| - This is my least favorite venue in Arizona.
The security people are terrible, I've NEVER had to deal with that at any venue before. They make you take your shoes off, you can't bring in a backpack (even if it's tiny) but girls can bring in HUGE purses full of crap.
They "confiscate" pocket knives, sharp objects, pens, pill boxes, and... get this... Caribeaners. I have a caribeaner to keep my keys together, it's literally an inch long. Apparently this is the only place in phoenix where every concert goer is a potential ex-con, because that's definitely how we're treated.
Maybe for the hipster concerts with the indie stoner crowd, they could tune down the security compared to say, I dunno, some scary ass metal band.
Apparently, I could use that as brass knuckles during a concert and knock a person out. Their sodas are $4 and are served from a 2 liter bottle in a red solo cup with barely any ice. Their "drinking wristband" system is crap, because its right after the strip search line and it gets congested as hell.
Bathrooms are ALWAYS dirty, every single time. Half of the locks dont work. There's gum in the water fountain.
Its just a complete shitshow of management, but the bands still come here. Seriously, everyone. Go to crescent ballroom, you'll have a much better time. Rhythem room, even... Just play the CD in your car. It will be a better experience.
