Hillsborough County Jail??

The majority of people enter the event from the East side. That is where most of the concessions are located. There are two sets of restrooms on the east side, one near the gate entrance and one at the far end of the concession area. Use the one at the far end, most people use the one near the gate and the lines will hurt you if you have to go

.

Same goes for the beer vendors. Beers are $5.00 for a small draft and $7.00 for a large 20 oz cup. 16 oz plastic bottles are also $7.00 and 24 oz cans are $9.00, I did my homework guys

They also have all kinds of hard drinks and wine, but that is not my thing so no prices to share. I did see a frozen margarita place that sold those big plastic yard cups, I think the prices were like $15 or there abouts.

The venue is nice and they have jumbo screens on each side of the stage and in back for the lawn people. I have been to many ampitheater Buffett shows including Great Woods, Nissan Pavilion, Camden and even red Rocks back in the 80's. In comparision this venue seems smaller to me, especially the lawn section. It is very narrow. We were in section 203 which is stage right looking at the stage. The seats are comfortable and we had easy access to restrooms and concessions. more to follow

I think it is called Orient road jail

Any way you are allowed to bring in a lawn chair but with size restrictions. I can't bee too tall to obstruct others view, but then again who sits any way right! You are alos alowed one unopened bottle of water per person.

The West side of the ampitheater also has restrooms and concession stands. This is the only place I saw the Tee shirt dealers set up last night, but there was probably one on the East side as well. The best thing I can share is use the WEST side concessions and restrooms. Most people go back the wat they came in to the East side and it is much more congested with traffic. The VIP area is also over there and they have a live band that plays when the show is in intermission. You can grab a drink and stand right next to the area and listen in. We had friends in hte VIP area last night and it looks like a nice set up, free buffet and private cash bar.

There are also ATM machines on each side so you can afford those $7.00 beers

Hope that helps

ebay?

Otherwise the other option is splitting up...not a great one I know..but if someone here has a single available where they are sitting and you can get two together, at least none of you would be alone. Well, you're never alone at a Buffett show but you know what I mean.

Can you tell me exactly where the parking lot is....in relation to the holiday inn?

We are staying there and would like to set up right in the parking lot across from the inn? Is that do-able?

Thanks for the info....

if your talking about the holiday inn express, it's across the street from the parking lot.

fruitcks · Post by **fruitcks** » October 17, 2006 9:12 am

yep right across the street. There is also a Wing House which is kind of a Hooters knock off (although they argue who was first with the concept).

fruitcks · Post by **fruitcks** » October 17, 2006 9:17 am

When you pull into the parking lot there are about 5-6 lanes they try and form. Then you pass through a ticket gate ( unattended as this is where they would charge for parking) they split you off going to the lots both left and right. I would think you want to be on the right side for the closest spot to the Holiday Inn so take that into consideration. Right side is also a closer walk to the show.

fixed it for you.

Fruitcks,

Thank you for the info!
