The Plant — Attraction in Dothan

I am torn ... I liked that it's a small venue. We saw Skillet and this was the closest we have ever been to any artists unless you count meet and greet. (NOT available this show 😒). The staff was pretty friendly. We got VIP tickets and I reached out ahead of time with concerns about needing to sit due to back issues. And they were super friendly and told me that there are benches both down in the main area and in the VIP section. And what I could do if that didn't help. So that was great.

DON'T be fooled too much by "VIP". You are kinda inside and there are ceiling fans and you have your own bar .. that's great ... NO long lines. I believe there is a limited number of VIP tickets sold so it's not overly crowded. But we didn't go to drink we went for the band and the music!! There were limited number benches that were claimed, (and we got in there pretty quiclky) and the folks had moved them to the window like openings. It was alittle higher than the rest of the crowd but with the angle, walls and it being one level it made it pretty difficult to see the show. I got lucky thanks to someone letting me have a chair and a sweet family letting us sit next to them .. they allowed my hubby to sit on the bench they claimed. The bench infront of us could have scooted in to allow atleast one person to sit with them. But in the end I'm glad they didn't a young handicapped man was wheeled in to the side and they kinda moved for him. Other than him you could NOT sit and watch the show unless on the front bench. It would have been just as good if we'd gone to the stage. Parking is kinda crazy. They do allow vip to skip the long line and enter in a separate line. Get there early if you want a good spot for general and VIP.

Another thing we dealt with was a completely drunk guy climbing into VIP to go to our bar .. which no biggie except climbing in meant climbing on or pushing folks. And we would stand just outside of VIP on the wall blocking people sitting. I think he ended up passing out on the bathroom floor.

There's bathrooms and there are port a potties.

General is out in the open so if it rains ..

It's a great and it is a cool venue ... but not sure I'd go again ... if I do I'd get there in time to stand...

I absolutely love this place. The Plant is perfectly set up & designed for some great concerts/shows, I've attended 3 so far & will be attending more. Whoever thought this up & made it happen is a genius that obviously has a love for music. I'm a music lover & listen to a wide variety from country, 90s Alternative, some pop, some metal, 80s, 70s, but mostly just Rock music. The Plant brought some of my favorite bands close enough that I was able to see them live & at a very reasonable price, that is awesome. It is standing, no chairs or coolers allowed. There is seating available for those that really need it. There are several different beverage stations set up with really cold beer, water, etc., a food truck is usually set up as well, none of which are overly priced at all. The staff & security is friendly & helpful from parking, entering, during & exiting. Yes, these days Security is very important & necessary. Everytime has been a blast & memories were made that'll never be forgotten. Thank you & PLEASE don't stop,...

Attended the 12th Annual Blues Festival on 15th March. The weather was beautiful but windy. It was so windy that The Plant lost power and didn't have a back-up generator. Which surprised me. Being an event venue, I thought that a generator would have been in its contingency plan. However, the show must go on and go on it did! Before we lost power, we were soothed with sweet melodies from Kendall Jackson and his saxophone. We lost power doing Kendall Jackson last song. Next up, Skyler Saufley. He brought his band down into the audience and played acoustic. I had a front row seat, and it was electric! They have too much soul to be so young. The Harmonica player is off-the-chart! Next up was Jimmy Wooten from Louisiana; do I need to say more? I thought not. We had partial power, and he inhaled it and pumped it out. I hope he comes back. Last but not least, the headliner, Johnny Rawls, a soul blues legend, who brought all the feels. By the time he performed, we had full power. Let the good times roll!...
