Attended the Bon Jovi concert this past weekend at the MGM Grand Garden arena. For a place which seats 16,000, I must say the space appears small, which has its good and bad's. The good thing is the acoustics were pretty good considering our seats were high in the upper level on the other side of the arena.
The minus is lack of entrances so traffic flow in and out of the venue can become a bottleneck at points. As I was watching the concert I pictured how close my seats would be for a sporting event and I gotta say they would not be that bad.
Overall I had a great experience here, I'm used to some of the best arenas in the world (See: Palace of Auburn Hills) so I cannot give this place 5-stars, but I'm sure after a sporting event my review will increase!
