My Least Favorite Venue
Recently I completed a series on my favorite concert venues, as with the good there is always the bad. I wanted to take a second and write about my least favorite concert venue. Not that I want to kill the fun and good times vibe around here, but I figure we have to look at the underbelly once and awhile.
So without further adieu, my least favorite concert venue.
Darien Lake-
Formerly a Six Flags theme park, Darien Lake is the the worst concert venue I have ever set foot into.
It is the prime spot for summer music stops for Western, NY because well it is really the only option. Buffalo has large sporting venues, which are too big for most bands, Canandiagua has a performing arts center as well but it is in Canandiagua, not exactly convenient for anyone to get to. (Not like Darien Lake is, but it is at least situated between Buffalo and Rochester.)
I have gone to concerts on the lawn and in the seats, the acoustics are horrible, the traffic flow is bad, the tailgating is good, but there isn’t enough alcohol in the world to make up for the general problems this place has.
Mix in the smell of theme park water, and a horrible layout for a venue, you get the one place I fight tool and nail against going to.
With the evolution of High Falls in Rochester and different concert series in the Square in Buffalo, I hope that Darien begins a slow fade into the background.
What is your least favorite concert venue?
