Unless you like sitting in a traffic jam, spend $40 for VIP Parking. My first visit and I have a few observations: One off from center section, so not way off on the side.

I had free tickets ($50/ea), Section 103 FF 5/6. Can be pricey for tickets, of course, with Live Nation/Ticketmaster. We had the beef barbacoa tacos, 3 street tacos for $12. This stand is within the seating area, so not out by the concessions. Since the nachos were underwhelming, we picked up Trejo's Tacos. I had the cheeseburger/fries and it was good ($14). We bought it at the normal concession rather than the dedicated nachos booth (same thing) so maybe that was an issue. It obviously was sitting, even though we were in when the gates opened. The con, of course, is the concession prices. Paid $40 for Premier Parking and arrived early and that was a good choice. Recently there for a 3 Doors Down concert. The women’s bathroom was clean through the whole show, lots of stalls so waiting wasn’t ever too long. The venue overall was nice, lots of drink and food options.

Looked quick and easy! There were a lot of cops and attendants helping direct traffic, which made for things to flow as quickly as they could. Uber/ride shares had a designated pickup and drop off in entrance 2. Walking to the show didn’t seem too bad but walking home in the dark after people had been drinking seemed dangerous. I saw LOTS of people recommending to not walk, and I would have to agree. I would DEFINITELY recommend buying a parking upgrade, and do it ahead of the show. EZ parking is in entrance 1, and the Gold, Premier and other upgrades are entrance 2. We were told incorrect information multiple times, so we spent 30+ minutes just finding where we needed to go. There were no directions on where to find that parking ahead of the show, so we asked a parking attendant. We decided to purchase the EZ out parking for $80. I did my best to research before attending the Simple Plan/Sun 41/Offspring concert, so we were prepared for the traffic and wait times.
