Although this venue is not very large, it still hosts 27,000 people for a concert so becoming familiar with the venue, and our recommendations are key.The venue has two seating options, Floor General Admission and Stands General Admission. We found that in general people in the stands would hold your seats or space for you and were kind and respectful individuals. People would keep your seat during a bathroom break. We found that the back part of the floor was the same way, however as you move closer to the stage, jockeying for position can be a little more aggressive, In fact, in 2017 a fight broke out near the stage and was on display during the Phish Webcast intermission for all to see. You might be surprised to find that many people you sit next to in the stands have come up from the floor to have a more relaxing concert experience.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"tab-con-19\"><strong>Venue Map<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4 id=\"tab-con-20\"><strong>Venue Map<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4 id=\"tab-con-8\"><strong>Venue Map<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Dick's Sporting Goods Park Map\" title=\"Dick's Sporting Goods Park Map\" data-id=\"2166\" src=\"\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/dicks_sporting_good_map.gif\" style=\"-webkit-user-select: none; -webkit-touch-callout: none;\" scale=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"798\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"tab-con-9\"><strong>Drop Off Locations<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4 id=\"tab-con-47\"><strong>Drop Off Locations<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4 id=\"tab-con-52\"><strong>Drop Off<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4 id=\"tab-con-45\"><strong><\/strong><strong>Locations<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p id=\"tab-con-11\">Being Dropped Off at the Venue<\/p>\n<p>You can be dropped off at the venue by entering the complex on Valencia Street from East 56th Avenue.

This camping is relatively inexpensive, clean, with showers, water, ATM&#8217;s, and has their own general store. Most importantly, the venue is very secure (when you purchase camping, you will receive a camping wristband. There is a security checkpoint and only those with Camping wristbands are permitted in the camping area).Both RV and car camping is available at Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods Park. In 2017, camping costs $90 per person for the three-day event. At an additional cost, RV&#8217;s were required to have a $60 parking pass, while those coming in with cars parked their car separately from their campground in Section R.Please read more about camping at Dick&#8217;s Sporting Goods Park at the venue&#8217;s website <a href=\"https:\/\/dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/Phish-Camping-Information-Dicks-Sporting-Goods-Park.pdf\" style=\"-webkit-user-select: none; -webkit-touch-callout: none;\">here<\/a>&nbsp;.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dickssportinggoodspark.com\/stadium-field-complex\/concert-events\/phish-camping-information\/\" style=\"-webkit-user-select: none; -webkit-touch-callout: none;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>(Because the link is only around a few months before and after event we preserved it as a PDF in March of 2018).

However, because there are so many food &amp; drink services available it makes navigating the venue a little tricky. Here are a few pointers tips:<\/p>\n<p>The south end of the venue, furthest from the stage between&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Section C through F <\/strong>are exceptionally dense and slow to traverse. If you do need to traverse from one side of the venue to another we suggest the following alternative.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Getting From One Side of the Venue to Another (East To West)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Generally, we prefer taking the skyway between <strong>Sections 100 &amp; 135<\/strong>. The walkway is by far the easiest and least populated part of the venue. (It also hosts facilities with the shortest lines.) The only time it is closed down during the show is while the artists come on and off the stage as per the artists&#8217; request.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"tab-con-35\"><strong>Vending<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4 id=\"tab-con-36\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Vending<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4 id=\"tab-con-1\"><strong><strong><strong><strong>Vending<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>We list this section so high only because the first thing many people are interested in is &#8220;Where are the posters?&#8221; Official event merchandise is available outside Sections 121 and 114. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Special Note:&nbsp;<\/strong> There are two lines, one for posters (and sometimes coins) and another one for all other merchandise.
