When to go
Multi-night touring runs (Umphrey's McGee Oct 2-3, 2026). Book a lane or balcony suite if your group wants seats and a server during the show.
Insider tip
Most shows are 18+ or 21+ (minors only with a parent at 18+ shows). Spending $25+ at the restaurant or retail corner earns early entry to eligible shows. No venue lot; the patio overlooks the ballpark.
Heads up
Not for kids most nights; lanes and suites cost extra on top of admission.
