Tonight’s show should be canceled, lightning and hard rain is not a show for us its just money for you

Wallace mcelwee | Jul 25, 2022
Damian Taylor | Jul 25, 2022

That's not a question and most shows outdoors in the summer are rain or shine. Grab a rain poncho and have a good time. Maybe bring a extra set of clothes and leave them in the car so you can change when the show's over.

Do you have to be 18 to attend a concert without an adult?

Marilyn Wallace | Jan 26, 2022
Briana Caldwell | Jan 26, 2022

I don't think they check ID to actually enter, but of course to get a stamp/wristband for drinking, you have to show ID for 21 and up. I would look more on their website, though, on their policies.

Is a rapid covid test acceptable for entry?

Paula Golden | Sep 23, 2021
Billy Falls | Sep 23, 2021

It depends on the band believe it or not...incubus required written proof of a negative covid test from within 24 hours, or full VAX proof. Primus the next night was absolutely no checking anything. Edit : it has to be an official test. Not rapid. Because "you could do it wrong". It's gotta be an official one. Sorry. Double edit : I got vaccinated in April so this doesn't apply to me, just sharing some info, hope it helped👍🤘

Is it feasible to Uber to the venue and back home easily or are there too many cars to make it a hassle?

Anthony Gonzalez | Sep 23, 2021
Danielle Verzaal | Sep 23, 2021

Uber and Lyft drop-off and pickup is in front of the Convention Center on Salisbury Street. There's a pull off area in front of the Convention Center, which is safer than stopping one lane of the road in front of the Amphitheater.

Where do employees park

Donna Smith | Sep 24, 2018
Ozymandias __ | Sep 24, 2018

This is just a guess, but i would assume you would be given a parking pass for reserved parking in the parking ramps. Maybe they have their own small parking lot, not sure though.
