Best seats at Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre
The seats are in a covered pavilion, while the lawn shows as open grass on the venue map, and shows go on whatever the weather. The venue does not say exactly which rows the roof reaches. Sections 102 to 104 sit in the middle of the front, and that is where the leather Dream Seats are. On the lawn there are no assigned spots, so arrive early for a good one. For a place to sit down away from the crowd, the YETI Overlook Deck is a corner deck in section 203.
