Ford Center — Attraction in Evansville

Went to see 5FDP, Shinedown, Starset, and Bad Wolves May 17th. I knew going in my son would have trouble seeing since he is short. So I held him up throughout the first 3 bands, sitting him down on occasion. He was repeatedly elbows by some big fat chick that never apologized for it, security did nothing as they saw it happen. Death Punch comes out to start their set, people really start getting rowdy. I do my best to try and not let my kids get hurt as do others around me. It gets so bad that while your so called security stood there watching, the bands personal security case over and told the security to pull my kids and I out for safety, so we got to see their set from beside the stage. If it wasn’t for him, I believe my kids among with others could have been hurt. Fights happened, patrons were severely intoxocated, and one guy wasn’t wearing pants. The fight got stopped, but the drunken idiot kept getting served and the pant less fool never got told to put his pants on, after at least 20 people kept saying he didn’t have pants on. I know Evansville is basically Jeremy’s hometown, drummer for 5FDP, but your security absolutely sucks balls. Y’all need serious work. Only reason I have 2 stars, is because y’all have one guy that busted his balls going all over the place trying to make things right, but...

Tried going to a Thunderbolt's hockey game for first time.... well the attendants at the door stated that my spouse's wristlet wallet was too large. Even though she has taken the same item to numerous concerts over the last couple years. The door attendant said it was half an inch to long and we would need to take it back to our car. I stated they could open it for inspection but we didn't want to store it in our car (not only was her ID, cash, CCs, ect in it but also feminine products). The attendant was adamant it would not be allowed inside. I understand rules are rules, but this is ridiculous... it was literally half an inch too large. The attendant's tone was a little more than necessary as well (Had we not been surprised by the ordeal, I would have noticed her name). Once it was evident they would not allow entry, I gave them the tickets and told them to keep them. We then left. I can understand the policy on larger bags, ect. but feel the wristlet wallet size restriction needs to be reevaluated. If you or your spouse needs to carry feminine products with you, be sure your are aware of this places seemingly very firm policy regarding wristlet wallets, as even if it's very slightly above their size restrictions, you'll be left with little to no options. It's...

Disappointed in my visit to Disney on Ice today, unlike past experiences. After waiting in line outside I was told upon entering that my mid size tote style purse, which I have carried in before with no problem, was too big. I invited her to search it, with no pockets or extras you could clearly see contents of backup diapers, spare change of clothes (we're potty training), wallet, phone, etc. and a small princess doll. I was told it was posted outside (specifics of size limits are not). I asked if there was an option such as coat check, nope. Of course, I was offered to just chance it and leave it by the door (really?). Instead, I walked a block back to my car. Luckily, I had another adult I could leave my child with. Luckily, I was not one of the several single parents having to take their child(ren) back with them. Luckily, I had another small purse I could shove the minimal essentials into. Meanwhile, parents were having to spread the word to others on the street. This should not have been necessary. There are plenty of examples of good policies at other venues. They start by providing people with good communication and options. Something needs to change at the Ford Center or your going to lose your...
