Insider tip
Main-lot parking is included with your ticket but it's uneven grass; there's no transit, so schedule rideshare pickups. Clear bags up to 12x6x12 in.; blankets OK, no lawn chairs or umbrellas; cashless.
Heads up
Traffic before and after shows is the main complaint, and the season ends Oct 11.
