Ozark Empire Fairgrounds Concerts

I went to the Russell Dickerson concert last night for the grand opening of the new arena. Let me start off by say the concert was AMAZING!!!! The facility is HUGE! BIGGEST SHORT FALL of this place is the seating!!! 😭🤬 The seats are so so small and so so close that it's uncomfortable. Even if you are a smaller size, it's still uncomfortable to be so close to people you don't know and touching. Also, if you're more than a size 13 or large shirt, you're gonna be REALLY uncomfortable. Like, shoulders pushing into the person next to you uncomfortable.. We gave up our seats to stand on the floor because it was more comfortable that way, should have just bought the pit tickets. (Pictures for reference on what it's like) They gave up comfort for usability. The stands can all be tucked in for when they do rodeos and other shows. It's a really cool concept, but I honestly don't think I'll be attending there again for something I'll have to sit in the seats for. I don't know if the VIP section has better seats, from what I could tell they all look the same.

I visited this venue for the Moore expo in 2024 and I camped there as well and everything was on point. The new shower house was very satisfying. The venue is excellent for space for the indoor vendors as well as the outdoor vendors. There was more than enough room and it was very sufficient.

It's okay but for two adults and a child it costs $105 for wristbands and then everything to eat and drink is outrageously priced as well. They wonder why they don't have the turnout like they used to. Common people cannot afford to go and have a good time with their family.

The new arena is amazing. Springfield has been needing something like this for a while. It was a pleasant experience to watch the Motocross event in this new facility.

We enjoyed the Moore expo, we also got to take part in the Gaia GPS class and leather allot, thanks Matt!
