Great venue to catch an outdoor concert in Columbus, it's one of the rare locations that offers both an indoor and also an outdoor concert setting. You always have a good view from the lawn during the summer/spring and early fall when concerts are outside and then they have events and concerts inside. They offer plenty of seating and standing room to watch.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Does anyone know how the whole bathroom situation works when your waiting outside for the indoor venue, it’s my first time going. Like is there any bathrooms that are close by that you can walk to or are there bathrooms inside that they have to use?

Dee | Sep 29, 2020
Brian Miller | Sep 29, 2020

You may be able to use the restrooms in the A&R Music Bar, which is a smaller venue that's right by Express Live, and is part of the PromoWest Productions group. Other than that possibility, once you're in line outside for an indoor event, your kinda stuck until the doors open.

I have never been here, but are all concerts outside? Was curious about a February show.

April Bumbarger | Sep 30, 2018
Robert Takacs | Sep 30, 2018

Only outside in the summer. Great venue with great sound. Couple of major issues though. Firs you line up outside for hours to get a great spot to watch the show just to watch hundreds of people being allowed to bud in front of the line from the side entrance of the bar attached to the concert hall. Second issue is the seating area. There are very limited number of seats on the second floor which all belong to season ticket holders. Many of the seats/sections are empty but remain closed instead of letting others use them. Third issue is the lineup for pizza. If you don't go as soon as you get through the door, be prepared to be in the lineup for over an hour. No set up line and people just keep budding in front of you. Service also is very slow with only 2 people working the stand.
