Fairgrounds lot and walk is fine in October, it is maybe fifteen minutes and you skip the whole Edwards Mill crawl on the way out. Bring a light jacket for the walk back.

Leave by six. Every time.

We did an arena show on a Thursday last spring and rideshare surge on the way home was worse than the ticket difference between levels. If you have a second driver, curbside pickup down by the soccer fields was painless.

Fair warning on the merch line, my niece spent forty minutes in it and missed the opener entirely. If she wants a shirt, go straight there at doors and then find your seats.

Upper level sound there is better than people expect.
