You need to understand what this venue is about. It's about the music and the experience. It's not about drinking wine on a blanket with a picnic basket, undisturbed by those around you.
If you're watching whats on the screen between sets, you probably need to learn to talk to the people around you, or better yet, the people you came with. Complaining about the prices of food/drink? get real. It's this way everywhere. They are there to make money. Don't wanna pay, don't. Pregame instead.
Ok. The place is old. No argument. But it's iconic. Take in it's charms instead of bitching about the lack of amenities. Enjoy the fact that some of the biggest names in music have performed here, and some HUGE names call this home.
Don't like the smell of pot? Is this your first concert? I've been to Christian concerts that had weed burning in the background. Weed is a part of the concert going culture. I let my son know about it before his first concert. I'm not condoning it, but its as much a part of a concert as taking a baseball glove is to a ballgame.or putting facepaint on is a part of going to a football game.
Don't like walking (seriously. The walk from the parking lot isn't that far. Maybe a mile?). Get your fat ass in shape before going.
Lastly, if you are expecting something out of a Vegas type show with the Vegas comforts and the Vegas plushness, go to Vegas. This is a venue for true fans who go to experience the music and the general feeling of community. If you can't get with the program, STAY THE F%$K AWAY!.
Awesome place BTW.
