I love this venue. Been to multiple.concerts here and wherever you sit is a great view and sound. Parking in P3 is closer of a walk. Of course the concessions are expensive and they're alright. Security is fast, bathrooms are clean. Again experience is worth it for the sound and the view.

My first time here and saw the Offspring! Amazing show! Decent acoustics. Outdoor theatre so bring jacket if your concert is at night and seat cushion if you want (modern plastic seats). Not a bad venue. They served hot dogs, sausage, nachos, beer, coffee. No cocktails though which is what I prefer for alcohol. You can bring in empty plastic bottle to fill with water. There is a drinking fountain on the far right of the theatre at the very top. Only 1 set of bathrooms. Can get very crowded when everyone is in line for merch, food and beer. Employees friendly and knowledgeable. Various parking structures near the venue but they’re tucked away so you have to find them, some on 1 way streets.

Excellent venue to see a concert. I had decent tickets - they weren't front and center, but they weren't extremely far from the stage. Where I was seated, the seats were very spacious and I didn't feel cramped in my spot, even with people next to me. It's a pretty neat location on a college campus. It was a nice walk over to the venue (we unknowingly picked the "far away" parking garage that required a lot of walking to get to where we needed to be, but oh well). I enjoyed seeing all the interesting architecture on the way over to the venue.

24 rows away from stage a little to right if you get the first seats but if get them further left like seat 18 it's closer to the center. If you go to the web site click on events and tickets then seating map it will show you where it it is.

There are two parking structures dedicated for special events and they do offer handicapped parking, but none are close to the amphitheater itself. You will have to walk at least a quarter of a mile.
