Xfinity Theatre
I have seen a lot of concerts in a lot of venues and this is one of the worst I've experienced.
Despite there being visible speakers mounted on the outside of the theater, no music was audible unless you were in front of the stage. We missed the entire first act because we were trying to find food.
The food situation was awful. The wait times were ridicously long at almost every food truck. Non-alcoholic beverages were difficult to find. I will give them kudos for having free water stations available to refill whatever container you had.
I try to notice accessibility, although I do not currently have a physical disability and I didn't like what I saw. There were incredibly steep inclines that didn't make a lot of sense and just made the streets more hazardous than necessary. I don't think someone in a wheelchair or on crutches could get onto the lawn, at least not easily. My friend also pointed out the lack of an ASL interpreter, which may have been more to do with the tour, but still. Not an accessible place.
Smoking is allowed as long as you're outside, which is great for smokers and awful for the rest of us.
But the production value was good. The sound was good. The screens were well placed and easy to see. They held a decent concert. Its just a very unfriendly venue.
