Description
Along Broad Street, the venue complements its concert lineup with theatrical performances. Reaching elevated tiers like the Loge level involves climbing stairs to upper sections, which feature their own dedicated restrooms and concessions. Seats are slightly wider than at older local spots, but legroom remains limited in standard rows, and chair backs can wobble if leaned on when audience members shuffle past.
