Is the pit better than the pavilion? Is it closer to the stage?

Pit is closer but depending on where u r in the pavilion it is just as good. Lawn for me is too far back.

Depends on the performance and what you're going for in my opinion. Not everyone can swing for Pit or Pavilion so lawn is great for larger groups and depending on the show you can bring lawn chairs. Pavilion seats are best for performers with great backdrops and lights

Pit is closest
