Wow! Good find! Was that just listed in their normal seating charts?? TM is always leaking stuff.

Yep. I googled the venue and band name and limited my search to the past month. That's what lead to me finding it. It was just in with their other seating charts in a drop menu.

July 8 Columbus, OH—Nationwide Arena

Wow, an indoor show in the summer time

I was thinking the same thing.
Now I just need to find a local bar or 3 to tailgate at before the show. Staying at the Hilton around the corner so no true "Tailgate" for this show.

[Screaminreels]

I am at the Red Roof Inn....I was looking at the different bars on googlemaps trying to decide on a location.

[AllifromOhio]

I'll be happy to set up something with one or some of the bars in the Arena District. We can do a small crawl perhaps. Tailgating here will be pretty much impossible. I've been to a lot of shows at The LC and Nationwide and they hate when people try to tailgate. If anyone has any particular bars in mind that you love or hate, please share them. I am thinking about Brothers Bar and Grill since it's pretty large and .3 miles from Nationwide. Remember, we have Uber here in Cbus so it is also worth looking at hotels in the area near the Horseshoe. It'll run you about $15 depending on surge pricing.

Wife and I would definitely be down for a pub crawl before the show. We're driving in from Baltimore so haven't figured exact times yet but it would be cool to hang out with some locals.

Sounds good. Any particular tie to Cbus or you just randomly picked it? Have you been here before?

[Screaminreels]

I would be up for whatever as well. Brothers was the one place I looked at for a minute as week. It made my tentative short list of options.

My wife and I will probably be taking Uber in from Hilliard.

I last saw a show at Polaris/Germain back in '04 and am really excited for a show back in Columbus.

Another thing to consider for bars and hotels is the CBUS bus route. It runs for free between the Short North and German Village with a stop near the arena. Could help expand hotel and bar options w/out having to drive to the arena.

Just booked the Red Roof!

Hey all. I'm a local, so take it from me, if you're drinking in the arena district, the best places to go are BBR, Brothers, RBar and Bar Louie. Just thought I'd pass that along.

Those are great bars with a good party atmosphere. Also some good breweries within an easy walk too. Elevator, Barley's, etc.

There are so many awesome restaurants and bars within an easy walk to this arena. Plus the fact that this is on a Friday makes it even better! Plenty of good places to eat beforehand (get there early though), and then after the show I plan on hitting some of the bars. Probably going to be the most epic night of my summer!

[jterrell781]

I've been hoping for this day since I moved down here. I'm down for a bar crawl or whatwvee. Should be fun.

[jeepguy]

[jeepguy]

[Maggard103]

What's your tip on a good restaurant that you can also drink at?

[Screaminreels]

I'm requesting a pair thru WH for this one.

The floor is the pit. If you have a WH ticket, you might get early entrance.

[Maggard103]

Are there any other WH members requesting for GA.

I'm putting in for three. Four tickets is the limit and I pulled four for Wrigley N2 field.

[Maggard103]

I just don't know what I want to do, if I request seats, I can go hit a few bar, and not feel obligated to stand in a line, but part of me wants to be on the floor lol. Any way WH members will get in earlier than the public.
