Nickel Plate District Ampitheater

This is a beautiful ampitheater, however, they don’t have it quite together yet. Thank you B 105.7 for the free Rick Springfield tickets, but giving them away to everyone led to a total fiasco with people who are not regular concert goers, not knowing how to act.
I’m not sure how many women were there, but having a women’s room on only one side with four stalls was poor planning, even if you take into consideration the three stall port-​o-​potty they wheeled in. The line to use the ladies room was a mile long at all times, and it became necessary to jump into the men’s room (where there was no line whatsoever), but not without being heckled and berated by several drunk men who had an issue with it (yes, on Mother’s Day weekend). There should have been a minimum of 10 port o lets on either side to accommodate everyone. It’s common sense!
The beer and wine was flowing with no limit, so you can just imagine the belegerant people acting a fool. On the flip side of that, we were asked to sit down by someone sitting in chairs behind us on several occasions, despite the thousands of others standing. A friend of mine was told to stop singing because some woman was trying to record and didn’t want to hear her — REALLY?!
Parking was unheard of, but there is a parking garage under construction, so I don’t know if that will solve that issue. As we walked back to our car, by friend was thrilled to find a port o potty by the construction site to use — others went to the Target restroom, because they had to park there.
Rick Springfield was my first concert as a teen and I was really looking forward to the evening with my friends, but won’t be back if that’s what can be expected. I’d rather pay for a ticket than deal with that chaos again! I felt bad for those who brought their children.
