After seeing the Moody Blues the other night (03 Jul 05) with orchestra seating, I would now recommend the lawn. With the installation of numerous BIG screen monitors outside and top notch audio, you get a better view than being in the front row.........just like watching an event on TV in your livingroom. Bring comfortable folding chairs. The only drawback with the lawn is when it rains and you forgot to bring some plastic along. I found that having a flashlight on your person is a big plus when darkness falls.......even in the ampitheater.
Food and drink are still pricey and no coolers allowed except for very special events.......jazz festival is 1 of them.
Pros: Fresh Air, Good Security, Housekeeping is A1
Cons: Pricey food and drink, Audio inside-so so, No coolers as a rule
