Decent size for concert. There were stands placed on the mainfloor behind sound engineers, although not mentioned on map, were a welcome convenience.

We were in quite expensive seats (mercifully the tickets were a gift to us) so I was surprised by the extremely poor visibility. Would recommend folks get tickets for the upstairs bleachers if you are heading here for a concert. Better to be able to see it all rather than...
