text: This is my least favorite venue in Arizona nnThe security people are terrible I have NEVER had to deal with that at any venue before They make you take your shoes off you cannot bring in a backpack even if it is tiny but girls can bring in HUGE purses full of crap nnThey confiscate pocket knives sharp objects pens pill boxes and get this Caribeaners I have a caribeaner to keep my keys together it is literally an inch long Apparently this is the only place in phoenix where every concert goer is a potential excon because that is definitely how we are treatednnMaybe for the hipster concerts with the indie stoner crowd they could tune down the security compared to say I do not know some scary ass metal band nnApparently I could use that as brass knuckles during a concert and knock a person out Their sodas are and are served from a liter bottle in a red solo cup with barely any ice Their drinking wristband system is crap because its right after the strip search line and it gets congested as hellnnBathrooms are ALWAYS dirty every single time Half of the locks do not work There is gum in the water fountainnnIts just a complete shitshow of management but the bands still come here Seriously everyone Go to crescent ballroom you will have a much better time Rhythem room even Just play the CD in your car It will be a better experience
