My daughter and I just got back home from the War Memorial Auditorium. We went to the NJPW (New Japan Pro Wrestling) event and even tho it was bot sold out it was a great show. Watching some of the Japanese wrestlers is very dream like because here in the USA you can only see them on TV or YouTube so watching them live is very honorable, like they would say. And the auditorium it's self is a very nice place, inside and out. If you have the chance to go and take your family, I would recommend that you do. For an even that you like of course.

Attended a meet and greet event with John Cusak that was scheduled for TPAC but due to John's filming schedule had to be changed to another date. This is the first time in the war memorial building for this type of event. We sat in folding chairs, with good views of the stage. For the meet and greet we went downstairs. There was a nice curtained area with a back drop for the greet and photos. The bathrooms were large and clean. There were soda, water, and popcorn refreshments and a separate area for alcohol.

I’m in awe of the people who have paid the ultimate price and sacrificed their lives for this country and state. The granite and marble are gorgeous and all inspiring. The lower courtyard was being used for feeding the hungry and providing haircuts. Some very wonderful folks were being hands and feet today. Thank you to the people who made this memorial possible for me a simple traveler to pay respect to all who it represents.

Pros: Amazingly beautiful building, with outstanding musical artists that are normally in larger arenas, easy to find parking even free in downtown is amazing! Staff is friendly & helpful. Cons: Opening musicians sound terrible- seems as if there is something amiss with the acoustics in the venue..I've been there for 4 shows, and same each time: main headline artist knows when the sound isn't right & has to get adjustments made & THEN they've been beyond Great- the 'opening' bands don't have a chance it seems-time restraints or ?.. Either way, they may be great bands, but I'll never know lest I see them somewhere else due to feedback/reverb issues that actually hurt to listen to. Crazy lack of restrooms. Sad beer & liquor...

This is a nice landmark but there was one thing I didn't like. There are lots of signs saying no skates, skating or bikes. I totally understand and agree with this at the top of the steps but it really limits peoples access especially in a city which encourages travel via scooters. The lower area below the steps could easily be skate-able without causing damage or safety problems and if they are still worried the edges of the water feature made of marble could be protected with anti-skate attachments. I think this would be much more inclusive for younger people and still maintain the respect required in the...
