It's in a pretty location but the venue itself is whack. - The parking attendant cussed at me when I asked where to park if I had a parking pass. - The line for a 21+ wristband took 35 minutes. - The bar doesn't have a bathroom, it's super inconvenient to get to, you can't take your drinks downstairs. - It was so insanely packed, I could barely see the performer. It was really difficult to move around. It was just an unorganized and annoying experience. Which is a shame because the venue has loads of potential. read more

The Great Saltair - View from the upstairs - Music Venues Near Me - Magna, Utah

This review is for the experience during last summer. This venue hits different compared to the many music venues I've been to in several states, so there's a lot of appreciation in regard to the beautiful surroundings; history (now Saltair III); and architecture. The moment I stepped outside of the venue and was standing at the second level--I can see the beautiful mountains and salt flats. I'm a big fan of nature and sunsets, so this experience was surreal and eerie. The sounds of the music and being able to see the crowd was amazing. I spent more time outdoors than I did indoors. No issues with ticketing, restrooms and ordering drinks. They were moving pretty fast. I can't comment on parking since we took a party bus to the venue, but the drive-in and drop off wasn't complicated. The building itself has this "moorish" influence exterior, but not all original from what I understood. Still a bit vintage, unique and cool looking. The inside is an open space. I don't recall any seating. Mainly a standup setting with two levels. I look forward to coming back to this venue again this year to experience it different seasons/time. read more

Setting aside the absurdity of $10 to park in an area with absolutely nothing else The Great Saltair is a dump. Flew to SLC for Queens of the Stoneage, and with storms threatening all day the venue still opted to set up outdoors. All lined up and ready to go winds picked up causing slight sway of lighting, followed by less than 90 seconds of drizzle. Forced back from the stage there was a 30 minute delay where weather calmed, but the show was nonetheless postponed to an undetermined date. No refund yet, just an hour long process getting out of the lot and back to a hotel, read more

Great Saltair? More like Great Asshat. We arrived 30 minutes before our concert was supposed to start and were stuck in traffic for almost 2 hours. We missed the two opening bands--yup, completely missed them. We missed them because they made us park 2 miles away and we had to walk to the venue. Didn't know you'd be going on an outdoor mosquito adventure did ya? Well that's just part of the freaking Saltair experience. "Don't they have a bus shuttle system?" Oh, yeah they do! If you're okay with missing the two opening acts and half the last band. It's faster to walk. Literally. So many people wait in line we got to our car before most got on the bus. Band Managers: Please for the love of all things do not book your band here. This place sucks ass. I refuse to see any band here ever again. I wouldn't come back to see the Beatles if they were resurrected! Because I'd miss them because I would be stuck in traffic or walking two miles to the venue. read more

A remnant of the past... The Saltair itself is a largely empty space. It does have an interesting history. From afar it looks like a strange structure built on the shore of the Great Salt Lake. It sits by itself... no other building or town near it. From up close it looks like a strange structure built on the shore of the Great Salt Lake. LoL It looks abandoned. We must've gotten there around 6:00p on a Sunday evening. It was closed but there was a sign in the front entrance to the parking lot describing itself as a concert venue. We wandered in through an open gate to discover the once elegant property is now the venue for late night concerts and raves. The building resembles a mosque with moorish architecture -- domes, horseshoe arches. The domes looks like the onion dome of the Taj Mahal. Interesting bit of history: Saltair I - completed in 1893. Partly owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Destroyed by fire on April 22, 1925 Saltair II - revived but attempts over the next decade to breathe new life into the resort finally ended in November 1970. Destroyed by arson fire. Saltair III - as it stands today. Constructed out of a salvaged US Air Force aircraft hangar and located approximately a mile west of the original. Many investors from the music industry pooled together to purchase the building and are now holding regular concerts here. Three bands/groups are scheduled for this year 2020: Monday, August 24 - PARKWAY DRIVE (heavy metal band from Australia) Wednesday, September 23 - MARSHMELLO (DJ with Genres: Dance/Electronic, Pop) Friday/Saturday, December 11/12 - EXCISION (Genre: Dance/Electronic) There you have it...

Attenddd the Gareth Emery Concert 4/4/25. The Ambiance was horrible in my opinion. The lighting In the entry and concessions area, plus the merch area was extremely excessive and takes away from the vibe of the concerts. They could remove half of those light and it would still be too bright. No one needs that much light to function. They should use spot lights for these area or use a dimmers. I will never go to another indoor concert there. Outdoor concerts have been greats in the past. read more

I was worried after reading so many bad reviews but we were VERY pleasantly surprised. We saw Quinn XCII at an outdoor concert and it was beautiful. Staff was friendly and respectful. Parking was a little bit of a cluster, I'd just suggest definitely getting there early to avoid having to park further away. The venue is old, yes, but we were hardly in the building so I'm not sure how clean it was inside. Overall we had a blast and would love to come back. EDITING TO ADD- We arrived right when doors were supposed to open and parking was great. I see from other reviews that arriving too early or too late can cause you to be parking far away and have to walk. I'm sorry, that's just awful. Definitely needs revision by the venue. read more

I went and saw Spoon and Weezer at the outdoor amphitheater section of the Saltair. The parking is a nightmare, but the concert experience itself was great. I enjoyed the sound quality and viewing experience. read more

I've seriously had it with the parking staff here. They didn't have change for parking; so they offered a ticket would allow "free" parking for the next day's show. Here comes the next day- and when we explain this to the parking attendant he RUDLEY insists no such voucher exists, and we have to pay $10 more dollars to enter the venue. The attendant did not care at ALL when we inquired about why we had been scammed. He had no answer. I've had so many bad run ins with the parking attendants (UNPROVOKED MIND YOU), but now they're STEALING from us? The event staff in the venue are amazing- I wish the parking attendants were the same. They are just so disrespectful and it really puts a damper on your night when they are cold hearted right off the bat. read more

I do not recommend seeing a show here is you have any kind of mobility problem or need accommodations. No one know where handicap parking or ADA seating is so you get passed along to other workers until someone knows what is going on. I had to stand at the entrance for 20 minutes with my crutches before someone came along who knew where ADA seating was. Then I had to be escorted through the crowd to the ADA seating which was horrible on crutches. I almost told them to forget it and went home. They also put the ADA seating in a spot right next to the speakers and to the side of the stage so you can't see anything. Altogether just a horrible experience and that's not even including the half hour it took to get to the parking lot. read more

This place was okay. I drove all the way from Phoenix to see Queens of the Stone Age here. It's absolutely gorgeous on the outside! It has a very regal appearance reimeniscent of classic Turkish architecture and its surroundings are beautiful. It's situated along The Great Salt Lake so there's some stunning lake views. As for the inside, it's large, but how the room is distributed is ineffective. The floor is large and it does not have an incline like some venues so the back rows can actually see the stage. Here the entire floor is one level, so anyone can easily block your view. In addition, the doors under the bar on the first level are always open for smokers so the smoke comes in and so does the cold, be sure to bring a jacket in the colder months, the venue doesn't get too warm. Also, the views upstairs by the bar were not optimized, so it was packed almost immediately and a good view unblocked was hard to come by. A lot of reviews complained about parking but it wasn't bad for this show, the walk was relatively short and parking had cost only $5. read more

Don't go here if you can avoid it. Tonite concert cancelled...fine. But, they stole $10 from 10 thousand fans. Do the math.

Absolutely had the worst experience at this venue. Parking was a major headache. Had to wait two hours to leave the freaking parking lot after the concert. I will never ever come back to another concert at this location, no matter who the artist is. ITS NOT WORTH IT. read more

By far, the most craptastic music venue in the state. Possibly even the western hemisphere. We started our night extremely excited to go see one of our fav musical geniuses, and headed out to Magna. We get off the highway and see it off in the distance and a gigantic line of cars waiting to presumably park. I figured parking would cost something, that's pretty standard. However, I did not expect to be given a choice of parking in the actual parking lot of Saltair for $10 or the cheaper parking lot for $5, which the dude said was approx. 2 miles away. Yeah, no. I guess we will be taken for $10, thanks. The line to get in wrapped around the building, but we spotted a shorter line and got in it, and started asking people what it was for. Nobody knew, but some guy said we needed a wristband to get in, despite having tickets. We asked where the wristbands are and he said you had to get them from a security guy roaming around. My boyfriend set off to find the roving wristband man while I stood in the line nobody knew why they were standing in. After about 20 mins, the BF comes back and says he found wristband guy, but he wouldn't give him one because our tickets needed to be exchanged at will-call. Apparently since we purchased them online and printed them out, they weren't legit enough. Oook. At this point we've wasted almost an hour between parking and finding the damn wristband guy. We find the will-call line, and waited for another 15-20 minutes When we got to the window, our illegitimate paper printout tickets with barcodes were exchanged for a couple of tear off raffle-type tickets. LOL!! They gave us wristbands, too, so that cut out a little more frustration. We look back and the line around the building is just getting longer and longer and people tell us they have been waiting for over an hour to get in.Yay. Anyway, we manage to line hop with some new friends and get in the venue rather quickly, where we stand in another horrific line to get our over 21 wristbands and be allowed upstairs. The concert was happening outside and I could hear the preshow already happening, but at this point we've missed so much, a few more minutes to get a few drinks and go pee should be ok, right? Wrong. Drink lines were semi long, but we managed to get a few beverages. When I hopped in the bathroom line (for the single and only bathroom in the entire building for thousands of people) I found out that the wait was approximately 45 minutes there, too. I waited because I really, really had to go, but I held it for the rest of the night, which is quite a feat when you're dancing and hot and drinking lots of liquids and the show doesn't end until after 1 am. What a horrible, horrible mess. My mood was kind of sour. The balcony outside was horrible for viewing the show downstairs. The only place you could actually see the performers was the far left tiny corner of the balcony. We heard a lot of great music but didn't get to SEE anything. When the headliner came on we went downstairs and squeezed into the crowd. The lawn was hazardous with uneven turf and random chunks of concrete to trip you at a moment's notice. Security people were kind of douchebaggy, especially the female in the bathroom ordering women in and out and screaming at you to hurry up when trying to wash your hands. I had a good time during the headline portion of the show, but it sucked that I had to be down there amongst the 14 year old children to get a good view. After we left, the parking lot was a complete nightmare and all the people who were directing traffic on the way in had disappeared so it was a freak show. If you weren't a jerk and pushing your car out there, you would never leave the place. We were fairly aggressive and we still sat in the parking lot for over an hour just trying to leave. I will never ever go to a show here again if I can help it. Terrible from beginning to end. read more

If I could give zero reviews, I would. There is no organization to speak of, I am consistently sitting in the parking lot for over an hour just waiting to leave because it is so disorganized. It's almost not even worth it to see my favorite artists. Do better "Great" Saltair. read more

This review is for the beachfront not the Pavilion. This area looks a bit abandoned. Park next to a chain link fence surrounding what looks like the ruins of a concert venue. It's about a half mile hike from the fence line to the water line on the lake. But, this is an interesting place to see the Great Salt Lake. And it's especially interesting if you got a drone. There are few better places, except for perhaps the Bonneville Salt Flats, to fly your drone unfettered by buildings, power lines, or people. The Long Walk 2 the water is across sand with a light salt layer on top. I heard that the smell can be bad, but it didn't smell so bad when I visited. It was a cold day with light Breeze. read more

let this place sink back into the lake. Cancelled the show as it was supposed to start. Claimed weather, in reality their decrepit venue is collapsing. read more

Literally what venue logically has an indoor area, but refuses to use it and puts up a stage outside that allows for weather to impact whether a performance will go on or not. No one cares about the outside atmosphere, they care about their show getting put on. Good to see they prioritize making a little extra money over putting on a show guaranteed night after night. Never coming here again read more

Zero stars. Don't go to a concert here. You will spend the entire time on the freeway just trying to get in. You will buy a parking pass... but won't be able to even park in the parking lot as there are five million people trying to park also. Waste of money read more

Super cool place that pops out of nowhere. Was not sure what it was and wanted to explore. A music hall! This would be a cool venue! I'd love to learn more. There is a small water hole behind with some birds making interesting noises. Many beautiful bird songs to hear. read more

Went to Deadbeats 11/21.. I looked up reviews trying to gauge what to expect from a Utah venue/ rules. i hope this helps the next person, because i got robbed by many unnecessary charges. First off, parking was $10 cash. (will say it didn't take long to get out tho) Second, no water, GUM, advil, vape juice was allowed. Make sure to hide ur gum on you if you choose to visit, it was a hot commodity. Not only were these items not allowed, but to be upstairs (bar area) you had to check the backpack with all your supplies for an additional $5 a bag. --- if you wanted to get it during the show, lines were outrageous. Worst part, honestly was the 45-1 hour wait for the bathrooms, no outdoor porta-potties, & the outside was heavily guarded, not a single option for an emergency drop of trow. The only reason the venue has two stars is because of how neat it actually is. lots of upstair seating/ booths & area outside. read more

The parking situation here is the WORST. Absolute nightmare. We saw Quinn XCII and missed both of the opening acts entirely because we couldn't park for 2 hours. Then don't even get me started with trying to get out of the parking lot afterwards. I don't care who plays here, I will never come again. read more

We showed up two hours early and they were making the first people who got there to park in the overflow and be shuttled to the venue. You still have to pay the money to park and are penalized for getting there early. It's a nightmare to try and get back to your car after the show. No matter who plays here I will never come back. read more

Pretty dang cool venue! Have seen this place and heard of it a lot but hadn't been until a couple of weeks ago when I was working Merch for an NF concert. The original show was suppose to be at the complex in downtown Salt Lake City, but it sold out so fast, months before the actual show. Because of that they ended up moving it to the Saltair because that venue is so much bigger. Having been there now, I totally get it! Venue was huge and pretty sweet. I think the max capacity was like 2,000 or something. I'm not sure if it sold out over at this venue or no but by the crowd I wouldn't be surprised if I was sold out because it was so packed out. read more

We saw Deftones here this past weekend and can I just say that I have NO idea why most reviewers on this site are trashing this place. Parking was a breeze [arrived about an hour before doors opened] and only $5. I believe we paid $15 to park at the USANA a few weeks ago for Weezer, which is pretty standard if not as much as $20/$30, which was pretty standard in our previous station near Los Angeles. $5 parking for a show is dirt. cheap. The site, Facebook event page, AND hotline ALL mentioned the parking fee. There was no reason not to know that there would be a cash charge for parking, not to mention that if you have ever been to a concert [especially at an older venue] having cash should be a given. Secondly, and it may be due to previous reviews, the event staff was pretty organized. They came through early enough to separate into 5 lines. They did designate one female only line, which I'm not sure was efficient, but again, not entirely unheard of. They then went down the lines checking IDs for wristbands. Then came through a third time to say that anyone with a wrist band could enter from the balcony on the back. At this point the opening time had come and gone and they had yet to open, however, the bar was open for business through the windows on the back patio so I spent the time overlooking the view of the lake and having a beverage with my husband. I must add that beer was ice cold and a mere $4. For a concert, the standard is about $9-$12, so surprisingly inexpensive. They then opened the doors and we were able to secure a good view of the stage pretty easily. We were even able to go down to the merch booth/bathroom/bar without having to shift through too many people getting back; overbooking was not an issue for this show. There was a little bit of a wait once the doors opened for those still needing wristbands, but by my watch from the balcony, the line moved quickly. I will agree with the point made that the acoustics are not ideal, but they were acceptable. There were no terrible smells this time around although we did visit a few weeks ago to check the place out and it did smell pretty shrimpy outside so that's just luck of the draw I suppose. No indoor stench. Bathrooms were clean and ample. I didn't have to wait at all the entire night [3 trips]. We had absolutely ZERO problems with the staff. Ernie brought out some leftover promo posters for the show before opening and said we were free to rip them off the walls inside if we wanted. Bouncers were friendly and efficient. Bartenders were polite. Merch booth folks were helpful. I lost my sunglasses at some point after the show and they allowed me to go back up to the balcony twice to look and re-look before directing me to the lost and found which was unstaffed so I couldn't look [maybe another 1/4 star loss for that, but they were also tearing down/clearing out], but I received a phone number to call in order to follow up. NONE of which they had to do, so I was happy with their concern and assistance. It's a divey, old, somewhat historical place made into a venue and to be honest, most of the complaints items in other reviews come with that territory. Deftones may not draw as big of a crowd out in SLC, maybe that was the bulk of our mostly pleasant experience, I can't be sure, but show up early/ask questions if need be would be my biggest pieces of advice. 11/10 would go to another show here. read more

I have been to several concerts and this venue was by far the WORST one I have ever been too. We prepaid for parking and waited in a line of cars for an hour and a half and then when we got up to the gate they told us it was full even though there were clearly still more spots available and we're letting other cars through. They sent us to a parking lot 2 miles away where we had to walk 40 minutes to the venue and back. We missed both the opening bands (one of which was the reason we bought the tickets in the first place) and could not get a refund on our unused parking pass. This place was EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL and way UNDERPREPARED for the amount of people there was. After the concert there was huge masses of people walking in the middle of the road and it took us 30 minuyes to drive back the 2 miles became they wouldn't move out of the way. WILL NEVER EVER BE COMING BACK TO THIS VENUE. Highly advise going elsewhere for your concerts. read more

This venue is garbage. I'm sure it was great back in it's time but now it is in an inconvenient location and in a run down and trash building. There's not enough space for the concerts they decide to hold here. For example, Billie Eilish and Denzel Curry were just here. The parking lot was absolutely packed so they forced us to drive on a single lane road almost three miles away in a dumpy field that was somehow worse than the actual gravel parking lot. Despite being forced to park a 5k away and wait for at least an hour to get from Saltair to our parking, they forced us to STILL pay the $10 parking fee. On top of that, the only way to get back to the venue was a single school bus acting as a shuttle. With thousands and thousands of people parked this far away, a single bus is entirely insufficient. Some people decided to risk their lives and walk in the road because there's no shoulder which also contributed to more backed up traffic. Post-concert, they apparently decided that they needed a second shuttle bus. However with everyone trying to get back to the satellite parking lot all at once (if you can call it that even), two busses was also lacking. Many people decided to just walk back along the same narrow road which caused traffic and busses to back up. If you are going to force people to park almost 3 miles away and then have the audacity to still charge ten dollars (other option is getting towed), at least block off the freaking road or provide a safe path for pedestrians to walk. I've been to many concerts here and they have progressively gotten worse in regards to crowd management and pedestrian safety. Please, whoever owns/runs this venue, please please please figure this out. It is absolutely ridiculous that customers are being scalped for crappy parking and threatened with being towed if they park anywhere besides Saltair's awful lots. Pedestrians walking to their cars are also extremely unsafe and need a better way to leave both for safety and crowd/traffic management. From now on, I refuse to attend any concerts here because every time has gotten worse and worse. If I do attend I will be taking Lyft or Uber so I don't have to pay their ridiculous fee with the threat of towing. Get it together read more

I love a lot of the shows at the salt air so I have been much more then I should considering how poorly they operate. This is one of the least organized businesses that I have dealt with. What is worse is how little they seem to care about there customers satisfaction. My first bad experience was last summer. They had a fluke in parking and myself and hundreds possibly thousands of other people had to walk over 2 miles to the venue. Which caused us to miss the acts that we wanted to see. The venue did not apologize for the inconvenience or try to make it up to us. This last weekend I went to a show at the Salt Air. The line to get into the over 21 section went out the door and the shape was like a fan. The bouncer seemed tobe enjoying the line and moving as slow as he could. It took us 45 minutes to get into the 21 and over section. Some of our friends said it took more like an hour and a half. Again this caused us to miss the sets that we came for. This sound quality is not very good. The security is like getting checked into prison. The drinks are overpriced and the bartenders are rude.. I will probably be back as they get some good acts, but I am getting sick of being treated like crap every show. read more

I've been here several times before and prior to my most recent visit, would have given it 1-2 stars. Shows that are hosted in the inside building are truly horrendous; the sound quality tends to be often distorted and tremendous masses of children who are definitely in violation of curfew make for an uncomfortable at best and felonious at worst experience. However, the outside lawn is AMAZING! Tons of space for dancing and sitting down even with the thousands of people at the venue for the show I attended. Sound quality for the outside amphitheatre was improved; loud without being over the top and the sunset view was absolutely gorgeous. Only downside is the ever-present stench of brine that characterizes our fair city's namesake. The Saltair still gets a lower star rating not only due to past experiences but also because they need to coordinate logistics at the concessions stand (Where was the line? Is the sacred rule of "no cuts" even enforceable?) and better amenities like water and bathrooms. I doubt I will be back for any show that is not at the outside amphitheatre. Anything else is just asking for trouble. read more

What a mess this place was! I came here to see Franz Ferdinand. It's standing room only on a brick floor, which is incredibly uncomfortable and hard to stand after more than an hour. It's in the middle of nowhere, and apparently after trekking out so far they charge you for parking...are you kidding me?! The entire place smells like brine shrimp and sewage....yuck. The acoustics are awful-loud but not good, and they'll just hurt your ears. I'm never going back again-I really don't think it's worth the trip out, even for your favorite band. read more

I really don't understand why people don't like the Great Saltair. It has so much history, and the location is awesome. Having this venue outside the city makes it for a cool outing, not worrying about the noise or what you wear or whatever you wanna do. It's quite spacious, has an awesome lawn that is the best during the summer. The second floor is 21+ and has also the VIP spots. The drinks are a bit on the expensive side, but at least the bartenders are cool, and you are at a concert after all, so they will end up charging more for them. What kinda sucks about the venue? if you go too far right, you won't have a good view of the stage. It can get nasty crowded, and Utah crowds are famous for being overzealous of no one taking their spot or going in front of them, even at EDM events, which is super weird to see in those scenarios - but it is Utah... The parking usually costs 5 bucks, and there's a loooot of parking. I would recommend leaving either early or not feeling bad if you miss the opener. Sometimes traffic can get pretty nasty and you might have to end up waiting for half hour to get to the actual parking lot... haha yeah, it can get crazy. Also... you don't feel too much love from the staff, and the bathrooms are Gucking Fross...! But to be honest... I really like this venue. So... What's awesome about this venue? -Their sound - Sweet Jesus it can be loud and awesome. -The Location - outside the city, pretty freaking awesome -Their "backyard" - the lawn outside will make cry of joy in a summer day. - Depending on the artist: Because the venue is so big, some artist that have awesome lights, lasers, screens, etc. They can bring it all and make it look shweet and awesome. read more

The Saltair is always a strange place to see a concert. It is a weird old building with really gross bathrooms. A good aspect about the building is there is a lot of standing space on floor level. There is also a bar for those who want to drink on the balcony. You can usually get a good view from anywhere. The staff there makes really weird decisions. Last time I went they sectioned off a girls line and a boys line to get into the building which created a very slow moving line. It broke up everyone's group and the girls line was 10 times longer. The boys line was moving way faster so all of the boys stood waiting for the ladies in their group which created a barrier that made both lines move even slower. We also joked that it must be a requirement to work there that you have to act put out at everything and everyone. All of the workers portrayed an aura of annoyance. Aside from the weird building and odd workers I have seen some great shows there! They do a good job at hosting and bring in some great artists! read more

There are some mixed feelings about this place for me. I like the venue because if you are over 21, you can go upstairs where it is rarely crowded and still have a great view of the entertainment. I like that if you want to be in the crowd you can go downstairs but if you aren't feeling the crowd, then you simply walk upstairs. During the summer, they hold events outside as well where there are grassy places to sit and watch the show. This is quite nice because then you aren't stuck in a muggy venue all night. I like the venue but what I can never get over are how bad the bathrooms are. They are never clean and is always a mad house. Venues should always have at least decent bathrooms but it seems like this venue doesn't even try. Other than that, saltair brings in pretty epic djs and I'm never really disappointed to have to go to this venue. read more

The average for this place is two stars, but I think that is twice as good as it should be. We went for Jack White, and couldn't wait to see the show. However, going in parking was an unorganized mess, then there was the long wait just to get in the doors. It was a hot day, and the floor temperature was near 100F. The place is filthy, and with all the $$ coming in for shows, one would think they could invest in ceiling fan or two. To make matters worse, there is no ramp to the floor and it seems the concert was oversold by a thousand or two too many. That made it impossible for anyone with a height challenge to see the stage. Add the crush, the heat, the dirt, we just didn't want to compete for air - even if it was advertised as "Great Saltaire". Perhaps this place should have been left in ashes? read more

Way overpriced, parking is charged, bathrooms are nasty, it's far away and the crowd tends to be sketchy. You have to park really far away and they send a bus that takes like 10 people at a time, so your sitting in the heat waiting. read more

The Great Saltair - Music Venues Near Me - Magna, Utah

I honestly love the Saltair some of my best shows and concerts I've ever seen has been there but you guys got to do something with the bathrooms everything so dirty. And personally due to the rave scene it would be nice if you guys gave free water with purchase of meals. I know there's fountains but last time I went the fountains weren't working and your vendors don't take credit cards and the credit card machine wasn't working so I guess there was no water for me luckily my friend had some cash. That could be fatal having people get to dehydrated in there with how hot it gets. read more

Honestly the worst music venue I have ever been to. Their over flow parking was 3.6 miles away and they only had two school busses to shuttle EVERYONE. I ended up calling a Lyft. It's a smoke free arena? Why even have someone like post Malone at your venue. And then they have a designated drinking area? maybe it's just typical Utah but it was a terrible experience. Who ever runs the place should reconsider the business they are in. And who ever runs logistics should be fired. A bunch of people parked along the exit since the parking was so far away so the police showed up in force with tow trucks. Due to this venue being so incompetent, a ton of people got their cars towed and wasted hours walking to and from the parking lot.
