I almost didn't go to this concert because it was on a Thursday after work and 1 1/2 hours south from where I live. I've also never been to a concert solo before. Now that being said, WOW I am so glad I chose to go. Luke Bryan is hands down in my top 5 concerts now. If you are coming southbound I5 there was 0 traffic till literally the exit. The crowd control staff however did an amazing job. From freeway exit to parking took only 10 minutes. I would recommend premier parking if you can afford it or a shuttle service which for $2 cash round trip is a bargain. I had to park aways out since I got there long after the gate opened, but easy walking and convenient Porta potties along the way. Gives you time to drink a cold one along the way too 😉 l would wear shoes you can walk on cement, grass and gravel easily. Otherwise a little worrisome in the dark back to the car. Not the time for stilletos! I've never been to this venue but I will with 100% certainty say I will be back again. All food and drinks are card or electronic payment only, if you brought cash they can convert to card for you but unsure if any cost for that exchange. Bag policy is strictly enforced. I watched a family get turned back for a diaper bag that didn't meet criteria. So put those items in an approved clear bag. You can bring in a sealed 1L bottle of water or an empty reusable water bottle. Lots of water refill stations all over. The specific details are on the FAQ section of the website. I was cheerfully pleased there was a booze booth once you walked in. I had a 5 minute wait and cheerfully got my large spiked pink lemonade in a mason jar. It should be noted if you have seats, not lawn it won't fit in the cup holder. It came with a hefty price tag too. $22 for small and $27 for large. 😳 The good news is there is actual alcohol in it. So not an overpriced fruit drink. I would highly recommend a dinner pre show or picnic on the way via your drive. Food is costly and lines can be long. But what venue isn't expensive? I saw pulled pork nachos, pizza slices and pretzels consumed by the 1000's all around me. I had a great seat, section 201 with a good view of the stage and a nice big screen. My oldest attended as well up in the lawn section and when I went up to visit, he had a good view with large screens which were easier to see once dark. Don't forget your sunscreen if lawn seating during the hot days! Outside lawn chairs are not allowed, but available for rental. Bathrooms are a plenty and the line moves pretty fast. Ideally another bathroom building would be nice but I've seen much smaller bathrooms. There are also Porta potties as well. I can't stress this enough--- TAKE your phone/keys etc OUT of your clothing before using the Porta potty. I watched a woman filming her friend who was decked out in gloves digging in the filth for her dropped phone 😳 at that point, I would have filed an insurance claim and said RIP to my phone. If you leave a few songs before the end of your show you have an easier time getting out. I left with two songs still to go, and it took me about 10 mins to get back on the freeway once I got back to my car. Again, I think the crowd control did a pretty good job of directing. To summarize this long review. Show-amazing. Venue-fabulous. Luke Bryan- flawless and all the country men roaming around? Thanks for the view 😉

This is a decent venue. I’ve been to a few dozen shows here. It’s setup fairly well. Leaving the venue can be rough if you don’t have premier or Yes parking. The sound quality on the lawn has been really hit or miss lately. They get good artists here though and it’s always a fun time. Not my favorite venue but it’s not a bad amphitheater!

Got to celebrate my 38th birthday by enjoying my third VIP meet and greet Lindsey Stirling concert. I spent about $436 for a front row seat next to the front of the stage. I spent another $50 for the Premier ADA Parking, and another $50 on the ilani VIP Club Pass which honestly wasn't worth the extra money. The ilani VIP lounge tent area was nice, the drink I ordered was not worth $11 and the burger and fries worth $16 tasted like a friend with no cooking skills made it outback on his cheap grill. I think Burgerville burgers would have been better! I then got the opportunity offer to spend an extra $185 to get a hand autographed mini profile poster of Lindsey and conduct a second meet and greet with her for 3-4 minutes to take a closer together photo-op with my phone and a couple minute one-on-one chat. The Amphitheater itself is nice, just how they coordinate the logistics of some events can be confusing at times!

Nice campground for an easy gateway weekend. Not too big . Easy to access and relatively close to Portland. Sites are good ; some sites are bigger and with more space than other but all have pretty decent space. Can be crowded especially during salmon fishing season. Long trails, kayaking on the Columbia , fishing , wine tasting in the multiple winery in the area are some of the activities. Light sleeper be aware that trains are honking all night long :(

It used to be such an enjoyable venue until they banned outside lawn chairs. I asked for a medical exemption because I purposefully bought my lawn chairs for neck support due to my fused vertebrae. No help was offered whatsoever. Their chairs offer no neck support or ability to adjust. Lastly, this is by far the most money I’ve ever paid for a beer at a music venue. The MODA center is even cheaper than this place!
