I will have to disagree on one thing that keeps getting brought up. The exiting the venue. I have said for years, it's one of the quickest exits out of all the big venues (GreatWoods, Gillette, Harbor Lights, ect). I have literally left my seat, got to my car, and back to my house in about 30 min. I live on the Belmont side of Gilford. I think that's pretty good.
All the other stuff is correct, the price of alcohol is insane. Something like $22 for a Bud (I can't drink beer) and this year they stopped selling Hard ciders, but have all the hard Selzer stuff, which I don't like.
Food depends on what you get and when. Tacos at the beginning of the night seem to be good, mid show when they are running out of food and not making more, not so much. chicken fingers are standard, and the pizza I think is good as well.
I don't like the new rule about not being able to bring your own chairs to the lawn. We bought nice chairs specifically for that venue to bring in, small and easy to carry, and then they put the you have to rent our rule in. For the same price as a lawn ticket and chair you can jsut get a regular seat.
I've sat all over the venue, don't think there is a bad seat there.
Have fun!!!
