点评:Attended the Iron Maiden show on Sept 19th. The show was incredible and the new venue is mostly fantastic with a great vibe but my seats were very disappointing. I bought in Section 307 close to the middle. That is the one and only row of reserved seats along the front of the Lawn/General Admission. I could have bought tickets in the last 8 rows of the 200's for the same price but I usually prefer sitting on the rail - even if it was a it further back. I purchased the tickets as soon as they went on sale long before the construction was completed. There was no way to know exactly what the sight line would be like but I expected it to be great for a new stadium. I was very mistaken. The concourse in front of that row is probably 20' wide with constant traffic but that is not the worst issue. You cannot and will not see the stage sitting in your seat if the people in the last row of the 200's are standing. And everyone was already standing for Megadeth. Even when I also stood up, I did not have a clear view of the entire stage and I was in the venue middle in Section 307. If you want to sit, you are only watching the screens - and they are too small for the size of this place. These are terrible seats that I would never ever purchase again. We, actually, moved further back and further to one side for a better view. So, I gave up my reserved seats for cheaper worse GA but at least I could see the stage. However, it was a better area to stand because each end on the outside of General Admission has a 16" deep stainless steel stand-up rail from the first row to the last row. The lawn/fake turf is only the middle of GA. That is not mentioned anywhere but it's great if you like GA and prefer to stand up anyway. Lots of space up there with it's own beer garden. And the 300's are not the only seats with sight line issues. I was standing behind the 200 level Club seats and it was the exact same problem. There was nobody even in most of that "prime" section where you paying for a big club chair but can't see the show. It is all design issues. The 200 and 300 levels both needed to be built 3' higher than they were and the grade is not steep enough but those changes cost money. Overall, the venue is awesome with lots going on, great sound, and mostly fast lines. The 200 level concourse gets packed and the lines are long between bands. Go back down to the ground level vendors for much shorter lines and quicker service. And, yes, beer is ridiculously expensive but you can find a vendor everywhere and there are $2 hot dogs available! I will definitely be back for another show but I know what seats I will not be in.
翻译:9月19日去看了铁娘子的演唱会。演出棒极了,新场馆的氛围也相当不错。不过我的座位实在令人失望。我买的是307区的票,位置靠近中央。那是草坪区/自由入场区最前面唯一设有的预留座位排。其实我本可以以同样的价格买到200多区最后8排的票,但我通常更喜欢坐在靠近栏杆的位置——即便要坐得稍靠后一些也行。在建筑完工很久之前,门票一开售我就立刻买下了。虽然无法确切预知观赛视野会如何,但我原本以为对于一座新体育场来说视野应该会不错。结果我大错特错。那一排座位前的通道大概有20英尺宽,人流量也很大,但这还不是最糟糕的问题。如果200多排座位中最后一排的人站着,那么你坐在自己的座位上根本看不到舞台。所有人都已经站起来为Megadeth欢呼了。即便我也站了起来,还是无法看清整个舞台——我当时身处场馆中央的307区。如果你想坐着看,就只能盯着屏幕——可对于这么大的场地来说,那些屏幕实在太小了。这些座位糟糕透顶,我绝对不会再买这种票了。实际上,为了获得更好的视野,我们还不断往后退、往一侧挪动。就是这样。我放弃了预留座位,选择了价格更便宜但体验较差的普通入场区,不过至少这样我能看到舞台。其实那个区域更适合站立观看——因为普通入场区的两侧,从第一排到最后一排都设有深度为16英寸的不锈钢站立栏杆。草坪/人造草皮区域仅存在于普通入场区的中央部分。虽然这一点在任何地方都未提及,但如果你喜欢普通入场区且本就喜欢站立观看的话,那可真是太棒了。那里空间宽敞,还有专属的啤酒花园呢。300区并非唯一存在视线遮挡问题的区域。我当时站在200区的俱乐部座位区后面,情况完全一样。在那个你花钱购买了宽敞俱乐部座椅的“黄金观演区”,大部分座位上甚至都没人——根本看不到演出。这都是设计上的问题。200区和300区的座位区原本都应该比实际位置高出3英尺左右,而且坡度也不够陡,但这些改动都需要花费大量资金。总体而言,这个场馆很棒,活动丰富,音响效果也出色。主要是排队时间很短的队伍。200层的集散区人满为患,各个区域之间的队伍也排得很长。还是回到地面层的摊贩那里吧,那里的队伍短得多,服务也更快。没错,啤酒的价格贵得离谱,但到处都有卖啤酒的摊贩,而且还有2美元一根的热狗可买!我肯定会再来看演出的,不过我已经知道哪些座位我是不会选的了。
