❤️ Why We Recommend It

The lawn area is massive, but the layout makes it surprisingly easy to navigate. Multiple cement walkways and stairs divide the lawn into sections, so you can get in and out without constantly stepping over people. We especially appreciated this after visiting Riverbend Music Center, where we found the lawn much more difficult and crowded to navigate. Over all with this being our first experience having “lawn tickets” it was great and we cant wait to go back!


⚠️ Things to Consider: 

• The lawn is huge. Great for groups, but arrive earlier if where you sit matters to you.

• You can't bring your own lawn chair. Rent one if you don't want to sit directly on the lawn.

• Leaving can take time. Don't plan something immediately after the concert.

• Food and alcohol can get expensive. Budget accordingly.


💛 Connected Legacy Tip:

Do not walk to or from for example the Residence Inn by Marriott in July…it is a 25/30 minute walk….wait and take the uber
