Battery Park — Local services in Sioux City

First time to see a concert at this venue and not impressed. Especially after having been to many, many concerts. Doors open at 6:30 and you have one food truck with basic food that takes 1.5 hours to wait in line for then 10 minutes to make a burger? Then the alcohol line takes 20 mins because they aren't organized and not enough people on staff...plus the opener didn't start til 8pm? If you're going to start a concert at food time, I will eat here and wait for a show but at least be more efficient about taking my money.

Additionally: Opener act mic is way too loud and sounds awful. Who is mixing this show? Wow.

Furthermore: 50 mins unnecessary wait for main show... I suppose so everyone can stand in lines and make regrettable purchases. Half the crowd is...

I would not recommend this venue for a concert. They oversell and overcharge. Paid extra to sit under bud light tent hoping it would help with beer lines and bathroom, which it did. The tables are on top of each other and right up against GA, so you couldn't see anything sitting and if you stood the tent blocked the view. Couldn't see the stage and only seen the screen if you were strategic. They said start time was 7pm but they started the first band while people waited in line to get in the gate, so completely missed the first band. I'm glad I've seen the main band before so I didn't miss much do to my lack of view. I also had friends that purchased expensive reserved seats and they ended up in GA because they couldn't see. Poorly...

Good outdoor area for live music. Arrived too close to showtime, so had to park a few blocks away, not a bad walk though. Will call line was quick, entry line was long, but overall didn't take too long. Beer lines were long but moved fairly quick. Cocktails(canned drinks) lines were short. Both were $8. Staff at both spots were very nice people. Looked like multiple food truck options, but didn't verify that. The wonderful odor of chislic seemed to waft through the air all night. Crowd was respectful of each other's space, which was great...
