Thought the venue was great. Lucky to have good weather. So happy the restaurant was attached because we were hungry. The food was also great. I really wish they would have allowed us to take it togo. Missed some of the show.

Good sound quality for an outdoor venue, great sight lines, easy to get drinks, free water refills. All blacktop with no shade so I would be real sad in the sun but evening show was perfect. Occasional whiff of manure which will hopefully subside after the state fair

Had our first experience at the Backyard enjoying the music of Julietta Venegas. The sound and the atmosphere was totally awesome! The crowd was very chill. Couple things though...the beers are expensive, and there isn't enough lighting for the Porta potty area at all. People were using their phone flashlight so they could see. All in all, we had a really great time and look forward to the next.

This is an awesome place to see a show! Small venue with big sound. They allow you to bring in chairs. The beer was $14 for a tall can. $20 for parking. I recommend you see a show here before it gets too popular.

Outside venue with very little shade and no seats. Bring sealed water bottles and refill stations available inside the venue. VIP is a tiny fake grass area raised about 5 ft and off to the side, not worth the upgrade price. Drink prices are pretty expensive, stick to canned drinks and skip the weak cocktails that are under poured.
