Went to No Doubt on Sat 8-8-09. Took 1.5 Hrs to get in and 2 Hrs to get out! None of the slacker parking attendants are engaged in trying to help people find a place to park. There is ZERO communication between them , NO PLAN and NO ORDER at all. Saw several attendants standing around talking, and texting. Did not care about managing the huge traffic nightmare! We missed the first 2 bands and barely made it in for ND - we left during the encore (how sad that you have to leave during the show to try to get out ) but we STILL did not get out till 1 am (show ended at 11). Witnessed several groups of young adultsdrinking and getting high in the parking lot (they need something to do to pass the time) - NO COPS OR SECURITY to stop the drinking. These people ended up getting on the road drunk after 2 hours) HUGE LIABILITY CRICKET!! ARE YOU AWARE YOU ARE ENCOURAGING DUI BY NOT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE?? Sadly this ordeal was a HUGE DOWNER.- We will NEVER come to this venue again. I wonder if Artists know about their bad rep? As an Artist, i would not want my fans to pay $$$ for tix only to have a bad experience due to the venue mismanagement.
Pros: Nothing really
Cons: TRAFFIC AND PARKING ARE THE WORST!!!!
