Our seats were in section 304 and we had a great view of the stage even from the back. Granted it was a large size but still way overpriced. I did give in and paid $11 for a beer since we were not tailgating. This gave plenty of time to use restrooms, purchase (overpriced) memorabilia, and overpriced drinks. Gates opened to the venue at 6:30 even though event did not start until 8 PM. Everyone on this lot was totally under control and very pleasant. People were constantly riding around in golf carts patrolling to make sure all was in order. Spot-a-pots were spaced around to accommodate the tailgaters. They flagged us right along to the combination VIP/Handicapped lot which sits just at the entrance to the venue. Lots were opened at 3:30 to accommodate tailgaters. Parking for handicapped accessible was very easy. We recently went to Jiffy Lube Live for the Jimmy Buffett concert. They were much more interested in socializing with their peers that paying attention to their jobs.
The young people whose job it was to safely guide you to your parking spot, and make sure you got out easily were not always as attentive as they could be. As this show was a Monday night, neither of us wanted to sit 3, 4 hours in traffic. We didn't see the encores but we did beat the rush. You're close to the entrance/exit and they hold traffic back so you can exit first. Once we arrived, we found that the Premier Parking (an extra $35) still had space available, so we parked there. We hated missing Dillinger Escape plan but. (We only missed the opening act, not NIN and Soundgarden. Most of the concert goers had arrived and parked. But maybe not everyone would want to do this: 1. I think because we dreaded the traffic so much, we did a few things to minimize the damage. Couldn't pass up a chance to see them even if it is in the middle of nowhere with horrific traffic. So we bought tickets for their Mon, show. I'd read so many horror stories that I was REALLY dreading coming out to Jiffy Lube Live! I love Soundgarden and NIN.
