Nice intimate venue for a concert. My only complaint during the concert was once the sun set, it became difficult to see the artists on stage as their bright lights were aimed at the audience instead of aimed at the performers. I couldn't see with bright lights shining in my eyes. I'm guessing this is concert specific. Be prepared to overpay for parking (it's supply and demand but still sucks - $25 as of July 2023) that is guaranteed to be extremely difficult to navigate when leaving. I was initially excited when I saw that they have people directing traffic, but you are at their mercy to let your section of cars out of the parking lot and you get put into a path that they choose for you out of the Flats that may not be your planned route home. We had to wait almost 45 minutes in the car before we could exit our parking spot and then we were stuck behind a lost soul who apparently doesn’t have a map app on their phone who stopped at every person directing traffic and asked to go a different way instead of simply following the flow until we were out of traffic.

The amphitheater is super nice. Giant shade sails, and it's right on the river. You get some tug boats going by, and also some huge barges which blow their horns (we only had 1 the whole concert, but it was really cool actually, the lead singer laughed when the horn went). I took away a star for 2 reasons: the line is directly in the sun. They could have moved the lines up into the shade, but they chose to set up the barricades on the other side of the shaded area, so nobody (except the staff) was able to wait in the shade. I had sunscreen and did my best to block the sun but still got a touch pink on my face. Lots of people were lobster red once we got in, though. Also, they say on their website that you can bring in sealed water bottles, but then as they were about to let us in they said we couldn't have any water, and to either drink it or toss it. I'm not sure why they would change the rules like that, and denying people water is rude, especially when their website says it's OK. And especially after waiting for hours directly in the sun.

A great venue! I haven't been to a show in the flats in 15 years probably, so I wasn't sure how our night would go. The only true drawback of the night was parking - there are few routes down into the flats, and many dump into the same intersections. After barely moving and still 12 min away, we pulled into a lot on the other side of the river and walked. It was a nice 10 min walk and definitely quicker than trying to park closer. The Pavilion feels fairly intimate despite the large GA area and multiple levels of seating. We were in section 5 and felt our view was great. There was a nice breeze most of the night, and it was fun to watch ships sail by behind the stage and see the city lights come on. The seats were super small, though, so prepare to get cozy with your neighbors if it's a sold-out show. The sound was good, not great. But that's kind of what you get if you're not facing center. Alcohol options were good. Bathrooms were nice but huge lines. Overall, we were impressed with our experience and would happily return.

Really nice outdoor venue. All the seats are covered, however, the upper rows of seats could get rained on as they are on the outer edge of the pavilion. There are really no bad seats as far as viewing the stage. And since it is not an arena, you can easily see the band on stage. The only reason I am giving it four stars is due to the seats in the back sections do not have seat backs. They are slightly better than a football stadium in that the seats have a contoured seat for you to sit on. But there is no seat back. So after sitting for a few hours, you start to feel it. The seats on the "floor" are mostly folding chairs. At least those have seat backs! But overall a very nice outdoor venue. Rest rooms are very close. Parking is also very close. And the snack bar I thought was extremely reasonable. Three dollar hot dogs and only two dollars for a bottled water. You can also bring in bottled water to the venue.
