Bowling for Soup

BFS was awesome. They put on a great show and their energy was so good. They had fabulous openers too. I think the acoustics of this venue suck though, so the sound was not as good as it could have been. There were times when they were playing some of my favorite songs and I couldn’t even tell until it got to the chorus because it was really hard to make out the lyrics. And the banter between songs was almost completely inaudible. Also I paid $13 for one single drink that came in a laughably small cup and was mostly just ice. The most unbearable thing about this venue, however, was the heat. I’ve been to some hot concerts in my life, and I was totally prepared to sweat going into this one, but this was a new level of hot. Even the band was miserable and commented on the temperature after ever single song. There was zero air circulation in the building - the lobby was perfectly cool and air conditioned but the concert area itself was stifling. It was so hot that it was hard to have fun, I felt like I was just getting through the concert more than actually enjoying myself. Also was bummed the band didn’t play High School Never Ends. They may have done a second encore where they played it and I missed it, but it was way too hot to hang out and wait to see if they’d come back out. I will definitely 100% see BFS again given the opportunity but I will absolutely never return to this venue.
