The event staff at the Credit One Stadium were incredible. It was 108° during the Mumford and Sons concert and we saw the crew constantly checking on each other, giving breaks, and making sure everyone stayed hydrated. There were medical staff responding to issues with the high heat promptly and we had staff go out of their way to let us know there were refillable water bottle stations.
Mumford and Sons played through the intense heat and put on a great show. The arena was smaller than others we have been to which made the show feel intimate.
We decided to pay for premium parking to avoid walking far in the heat and this worked out nicely. However, the lack of traffic control and flow to get cars out of the area after the concert was horrible. Our hotel was less than 10 minutes from the stadium, but it took over an hour to get out of Charleston, not the arena itself. There were no signs to get out, traffic stacking was awful, minimal police directing traffic, and seemingly badly timed traffic lights. I would hope that the City of Charleston would work to improve this, as it was an unfortunate end to an otherwise nice (but very hot) experience at the stadium and I am not sure we would go back.
