Great place to see a show, with the following disclaimers:
- 'traditional' concerts are best - if it's a show where you want to jump around, dance, etc. you're kind of limited to the space around your seat, and there isn't much.
- not a bad seat in the place - yes it's tight but the place is old, probably built when we were a thinner nation.
- the stage revolves meaning you're facing the band half the time. I guess your view of this depends if you are the glass-is-half-full or empty type.
- the staff is friendly, knowledgeable and professional, kind of like the Marquee in reverse.
- $5 for parking, but I can't remember the last event I attended where you didn't have to pay for parking. Do agree with the 'get there early' comments. It helps.
- not in the best neighborhood but I've never had a problem.
- decent food menu but if you want something more than ballpark fare you should probably eat before you go.
- the bar/facilities downstairs are usually less crowded.
- acoustics are solid, assuming the engineer is half-decent.
