Cal Coast Credit Union Amphitheater in San Diego, CA

Nice place to see a show. If you can take the trolley in I would recommend it or else you spend a lot of time getting in and out of the parking lots.

Good view from all around. Standing Room Only (SRO) is first come first serve, but spacious. No need to arrive overly early unless want a space right at the front. There's a pic under images. Good sound in SRO, once commotion from entrance and concessions die down. Wear comfortable shoes. Nowhere to sit and maintain a view of the stage. Parking can be tricky! Arrive in advance to have time to park (perhaps a distance from the venue if that's all that's available) and to pass security (lines can be long if the venue is completely booked). If serving alcoholic beverages, they will stop serving soon after start of show. Get drinks very early or before the show.

The theatre is not bad for an outside theatre. The sound was good and staff were decent. Only drawback is there is only one beer station and the line is way too long. They need to offer at least two spots to buy beer so you don't spend 20 to 30 minutes in line.

Intimate venue and great acoustics, not the easiest to get in and out of without paying for parking, great walk thru SDSU!

Really nice seating arrangement in this very cool venue. The only complaint that I have is there is only one bar which makes the wait really long. Other than that everything is pretty nice. Parking is reasonably close and secure. The fact that it is in the middle of a school campus has a nice vibe to it. The people tend to be more sociable I noticed... As if they are expecting people in the crowd to very likely be students they might know. When it comes to a huge act coming through town this is still pretty intimate compared to a stadium but still big enough to fit the crowd of a huge artist.
