Can't say precisely, although I've been to five shows there. It may (or may not) have something to do with the crowd there. I was standing on the lawn while the concert was in progress, and people were telling me to sit down! Unbelievable! Personally, I think the "average" concert goer there didn't really get it. True parrot heads were a little hard to find. The taligating was pretty minimal also, conpared to places like Irvine, Boston, and Atlanta.

Thats funny, I found it to be opposite of what you saw

The lawn there was awesome....I loved the beer backpacks :D I think it was because that one year when it rained like crazy...after that they have been indoors. I had the same problem with someone telling me to sit down at a show...it was at the arena though. It really was unbelieveable. We got in a huge shouting match and I had to stand for the whole concert just to p*** her off more. Kinda hard as drunk as we were..... 8)

West Palm was one of the best venues I have been to. Parking was free and the show in the parking lot was priceless. Tailgate heaven.

I don't know if this is related at all, but a girl got killed by a drunk driver in the parking lot after his last show there. That couldn't have been a good feeling for the band or the venue either one.

I've been there several times and when the weather was ok it was great. I think JB simply outgrew that venue. Very few A-List acts appear there anymore. I personally enjoy the tailgating at Office Depot Center better. Also, if your on the lawn it can be a hassle. Unfortunatly, I still don't have tickets to the Ft.L. show. 100% of nothing is nothing, but I havn't given up yet. As always, G.M.,Jr.

tix are still available.... on ticketmaster.com if you search for 1, there are still scattered singles, if you put in 2, you get behind the stage.

I miss the shows in west palm. The tailgating was crazy and the lawn was the best, you know you actually have room to dance. I wish Ofice Depot would do a GA floor instead of seats it would be so much better.

on a seperate note. The seats behind the stage at office depot aren't that bad. last time jimmy played there he played a couple of songs to the people behind the stage.
