Cheap Trick Uniondale Concert reviews
Great Band, So-So Venue
Cheap Trick is one of the all-time great Rock bands, no problem there. They showed up rocked the house and left us wanting more. At first glance it would seem to be a nice concert hall, not too big, seemed like you wouldn't be too far to get a good view of the stage from anywhere. But being in a row of seats that appeared to be cheap temporary fold-up seats, my opinion started to change. The seats were too narrow and I was squeezed between the people on either side of me. I stood most of the concert, which in itself isn't too awful, but it was out of necessity as there were some rather large people in the rows ahead of me as well, so I was always moving and craning my neck. It seemed the floor we were on was just flat all the way to the stage, no gradual incline to help those in rows farther back get a better view. It also would've been nice to have received some info ahead of time, you know maybe in one of those several emails that was sent to me, about where we were expected to park and/or what part of the building the venue was in, as it was part of a larger casino. Or maybe if even the casino itself had signs around their facility that said something like "parking for shows/concerts this way". All in all I really enjoyed Cheap Trick, but it's probably the last time I'll go see a show at MGM Northfield Park. You just get the impression that they slapped together a cheap space with a stage and added it on to their casino without much consideration for the concert-goers experience.
