    my room was also 119.


    Where are you staying for Mansfield? I stayed at a p decent hotel up there last summer when Taylor Swift was at Foxboro. I normally wouldn't stay at a hotel for shows 45mins away from me but I didn't want to deal with traffic after Swift

    we've done both the courtyard and the holiday inn. courtyard is a bit cheaper i believe. both decent places. nothing within walking distance there I don't think.

    I always go to Hartford, but I might not be able to make it this year. If I put I pull reserves, and find out I can't go, will I have trouble flipping them for face value on the boards later on? Just want to make sure I don't lose my money when all is said and done.

    The bigger question is pit worth it or is it a shit show? I may have the wee one with me too, so may opt for states over the pit just because of that.

    You should have no problem with kids in the pit. Like previous stated, it's huge and there's plenty of room towards the back to spread out. Pit is worth it.

    Thank you so much for the input, much appreciated. Will put in the WH request for Pit and then see what I get.

    Hi all, my wife and I are from San Diego and are finally going to catch a couple shows out east. We will be doing Mansfield and Hartford. Rooms are booked, we are pumped.

    Anything we should know about the venue?

    Some of the best people watching you will ever see. Make sure you spend time in the lots. LMFAO.

    I've been going since 96. I mean it's changed some... with all the police presence but still.. quality, quality, quality.

    Hartford is like the 2nd or 3rd largest amphitheater in the US. The lawn is huge - lots of annoying drunk folks (I'm sure there will be those that love the lawn - difference of opinion so I can appreciate that). Pit is huge. I've always felt Hartford gets solid shows. Enjoy! If you stay at a place like the Radisson, you can walk up the hill and don't need to drive to the venue - so many people walk from that side so you won't have any issue.

    Be in touch and come find us if you'd like to tailgate! The end!

    Yea Tailgate is awesome. Hopefully you are close enough to walk over from the hotel, its not a bad walk from downtown and hundreds of people do it. I rather jump in a pool of razor blades than sit on that lawn but I know some people do love it. People watching really is great there like the post above says, its an awesome time even if it is only 1 night now. Took me 3 shows there before I realized there was bathrooms other than porta potties.

    I didn't even know that whole indoor area was there. I would come in on that first side entrance right over the hill, go to the merch/drinks, to my seats than back out to that same area with the merch/drinks, porta potties.

    half way through our 3rd show there my gf goes, did you know there is food and bathrooms in there?? My mind was blown

    I wouldn't be surprised if our paths have crossed before, seeing as you are in San Diego County and up until July 2012 I lived in Orange County. Assuming you have been to all the local spots, Chula, Irvine, Hollywood, etc... to see the band?
