Good call, John. Tad Gormley deserves a listing and reviews. I LOVE the WPA reliefs that surround…read morethe stadium and the vintage touches that still abound in this stadium. I've attended HS football games and the US track & field competition here. And John is correct that the seats are not super comfy; this is why my Mom has a stash of stadium cushions, I guess. However the seats are well spaced so there's plenty of room to pass by others. Back in the day there used to be concerts here. I really wish they would do that again, because that would be awesome. If you have the chance to go to an event here, go just tour the venue.

Tad Gormley is the premier venue for prep football in New Orleans. There are many other stadiums…read morewhere you are likely to watch a high school game, but there is only one Tad Gormley. This is the stadium where I attended many football games when I was in high school. I was able to attend as both a fan and a player so I got to see many unique things about this stadium. As a fan I liked the large amount of comfortable seating. OK, that is a lie, the seats are hard metal that will make your butt fall asleep after only a brief period of time. When it is cold, your butt is not only asleep, it is freezing. If you come here often, I recommend one of those cushiony stadium seats, preferably one with your school's logo. There are concession areas and bathrooms on each side of the stadium so you don't need to mingle with the opposing team's fans, unless you want to. This helps prevent all sorts of silly arguments between football fanatics, especially grandparents of players. Once the canes start swinging, look out. As a player, the roar of the crowd was always motivation even if I was just headed to the Gatorade table. The view from the sidelines was always unique as it was surprisingly difficult to pick anyone out in the crowd. But pick you out, they could. I will never forget seeing friends or family after the game and having to endure their questions about why I held my helmet a certain way, or why I picked the red Gatorade over the orange. It was all a bit stressful. The most amazing event I experienced here was the time my team scored a victory and it marked some astronomical number of victories for our head coach. You would have thought we had one the Super Bowl except that we were in high school and not being paid exorbitant sums of money. OK, enough reminiscing.

I hadn't been here in ages. The food options are not impressive. There's neon orange nacho cheese…read morefrom the can nachos, hot dogs, popcorn. Like bad concession stand food. I don't even remember the food being that aromatic and nothing I saw being eaten looked enticing. That's a bummer, because they've got captive appetites for the duration of the event. We eventually left a little early to eat elsewhere. Otherwise, the parking lot is very organized thanks to the friendly parking attendants. The ushers are very sweet, too. The price of tickets for our LSU vs. UNO women's basketball game were great for the location of our seats. Seating is good for a stadium, but if anyone was sitting next to me, I may have felt a bit cramped. For reference, I'm 5'4 and 200 lbs. There are ramps that everyone uses to lead into and out of the arena, but I can't speak to the accessibility of the seating.

The energy inside the arena was electric, and thankfully the show started a bit late, which helped since everyone was running behind. That being said...getting there was a nightmare. Only one way in and out, and the GPS took us to the wrong entrance. We got turned around, which made us even later. Total chaos in the parking lot, and no clear signage or direction from staff. Once we were inside though, it was worth it. Great venue acoustics, awesome crowd, and a night full of laughs. Just plan to leave early and pack your patience if you're driving in!

The theater itself is charming, cozy, and very comfortable, with multiple seating options, a definite plus. The staff was friendly and helpful, which truly enhanced the overall experience.

Jefferson Performing Arts Center took my breath away...and bot in a good way…read more I've been to Jefferson Performing Arts Center many times, and usually, it's a shining example of how to host a stellar event. The seats are comfy, the staff is welcoming, the logistics run like clockwork, and the acoustics are consistently phenomenal--every note rings out perfectly, no matter where you sit. Last night's Black Jacket Symphony performance of Led Zeppelin's music was no exception on the performance side--just incredible. But oh, let's talk about the atmosphere. When I stepped into the auditorium, I wasn't met with the warm embrace of a perfectly tuned heating system. No, I was smacked in the face by a wall of heat so intense I briefly considered whether Led Zeppelin might've been covering Hot for Teacher. Thankfully, someone on staff noticed that the audience wasn't exactly giving a standing ovation to the HVAC situation and turned the heat off. But then came the second act of discomfort: stagnant air. The kind of air that just sits there, like a guest at a dinner party who refuses to leave. No fans, no circulation--just a thick, unmoving mass of stuffiness that somehow felt more oppressive than the heat itself. And here's the thing: when you're in a packed room where the average age skews over 60, and you add in the not-so-subtle aroma of decades of cigarette smoking clinging to clothing? Let's just say it wasn't a breath of fresh air. The show itself was phenomenal--so good that I stayed despite feeling like I was trying to breathe through a wet blanket. But honestly, Jefferson Performing Arts Center, you've got to do better. Temperature control and air circulation aren't just "nice-to-haves"; they're the baseline for a venue of this caliber. I want to keep coming back for these incredible performances, but next time, let's make sure the only thing taking my breath away is the music--not the HVAC drama.

Instead, I volunteered for their first season, back in 2006, and got a taste of the action without any risk to my limbs.

This is real action with real danger and occasionally a fall or collision which results in a real injury. It is the REAL deal!!

Two stages, a large art and a large food section. I also love that they have a bike valet, completely for free so you don't have to risk parking your bike in the streets where it can get stolen or vandalized. Entering the festival, there's tons of grass area to sit and enjoy the music. Everyone is pretty respectful and not rowdy. There's a huge food section which has about 6-10 vendors. The food is very reasonably priced and not jacked up for the festival. Most vendors also take credit card which is great. Entry to the festival is also completely free! They do take donations though! Overall, very fun family oriented festival. Not too crowded and easy to get to. Parking would definitely be a problem so get there early!

Eventhough it started pouring down today and with muddy ground, we still had so much fun. The food was plentyful and so tasty.

Because of the rain, this year it was only myself and another friend end up going to the festivals. We both also end up getting free swags from Southern Comforts. A win win for us.
