I will NEVER go to the White River Amphitheater again. I went with 2 other friends to see Radiohead 8/20/08. I'm not sure if this is the Native Americans' way of getting back at the general public for past wrongs, but if it is, it's ingenious. We decided to take the buses that left from the Supermall to avoid traffic. Getting on the bus was great, but we got separated in the huge crowd after the concert and ended up waiting for 2 hours in the cold rain to meet up with our friend who got stuck in a massive clusterF*** trying to load the buses. If there are 98 buses, why not line people up and load all the buses at the same time? They loaded one at a time. Also, the only beer options were BUDWEISER and BUD LIGHT in a CAN, no less, for EIGHT FRIGGIN' DOLLARS. Our lawn chairs were confiscated because they were ""too tall"" (even though everyone on the lawn stood for the concert) and we were unable to find them & get them back. I just couldn't get over the complete confusion of traffic after the event. Who in the world thinks that 16,000 people can be triple and quadruple parked with NO signage or guidance to get out of that parking black hole? I can't believe that they're still in business. Like one other reviewer said, good thing Radiohead fans are laid-back, friendly, and have quirky senses of humor, or otherwise, there were multiple opportunities for panic attacks or riots with NO security or police presence.
Cons: any pros were far outweighed by the cons
