If I were rating the stadium just on the concert I saw, it would be an easy five stars! I saw Elton John here on July 23, 2022. The concert was epic and I am very grateful for the experience.
I drove and left plenty of time to get there. Then, 4 miles before the stadium, traffic came to a complete standstill. It took me 45 minutes to go the last 4 miles. Parking cost $40.
At the line to get into the stadium, security was extremely strict about what size purse or bag visitors were allowed to bring in. Security actually had pieces of wood that were the dimensions of allowed bags, and held them up to people's purses to compare size. About every 30 seconds someone got turned away to put their things back in the car because of the strict rules about what could be brought in--not just pocketbooks but also cameras, beverages, food, and stadium cushions. Lots of people argued with security. This made the line move very slowly.
If you attend a concert here, I urge you to look on the website ahead of time and familiarize yourself with the list of things not allowed. This will save a lot of anger and frustration.
By the time I got inside, Elton was already on the second song, so I entered the concert cranky and thinking how I would never come to this venue again due to the overcharged parking, rules, and the traffic. It was 98 degrees out so I had to stop to buy water, which was five dollars for a 12 oz bottle!
After the first 15 minutes, though, I really got into the mood of the concert and started having fun. Elton John is such an exhilarating performer. As I took in all the joyful energy and awesome performance, I forgot to care about traffic, expensive parking, rules, and overpriced water. I had such a great time and loved the show so much that I would have gone back for the next night if I had had the opportunity to.
