I have been to Verizon more times than I can count, for all different kinds of shows, in all different kinds of weather. And I can say that, aside from the musical acts stinking it up occasionally, I have never had a bad time and have always left with another unusual story to tell.
Over the years, the parking lot system has been greatly improved, to the point where you really don't wait that long to get out after the show. You used to wait for hours it seemed.
The best shows I have seen here have been Aerosmith, Steve Miller, James Taylor and, most recently, Journey.
I have always sat on the lawn, and at each one of the shows listed above, a random old couple has handed me a joint. Every time, never fails. I am not a smoker, and I don't think I necessarily look like an obvious pot smoker. For some reason though, a random old hippie couple hands me something to smoke. Never fails.
Of course, like every other major entertainment venue, beer prices are out of this world! That's why we arrive early and tailgate like crazy, so we don't have to buy more than one or two beers inside, if any at all.
It used to be fairly easy to sneak in an airplane bottle or two, but they have cracked down considerably on that and check people over very thoroughly.
The sound and acoustics are pretty good, and its easy to hear and see even from way back on the lawn.
The employees have always been fair and helpful in my experiences.
