Stupid SPAC Question

OK, so I grew up in NY and spent quite a few nights at SPAC. Now living in Seattle (Gorge Vet) and 20 plus years removed from a Saratoga concert. I've timed a trip back east to visit family that matches with the SPAC weekend. Reserved N1 tics and Lawn N2. Considering trade/purchase/exchange for Reserved N2. What is the SPAC Lawn experience like? Your answers will help determine my direction.
Thanks

    it's not very good, but it is what you make of it. some of the drunk assholes around my group have made very infamous stories that we continue to laugh about to this day. the way the lawn is sloped isn't that good, so view isn't the best. The sound, however, never sounded bad at spac regardless of where I've been (seats, balcony, lawn). I'd say if you're coming from the west coast, try to upgrade for the added comfort. it's nice having a seat at spac.

    IMO if you have SPAC lawn you should try to go in as early as possible... the lawn is pretty tiny and gets quite packed, not stellar views... the pavilion obviously isn't a high quantity of seats so you aren't a mile from the stage... but I would try to go in early.

    If you are coming all the way from the West coast for this, do yourself a favor and get inside seats. Any seat is better then the Lawn, even if you are railed.

    I'm only coming from 2.5 hours away... and I still wouldn't do lawn if it was all that I could get.

    What they all said.

    If you can get inside seats, take them. Regardless of where it it.

    p.s. I joke about loving the lawn but that's because I don't have n2 tix yet. The thought of not only sitting lawn, but sitting lawn AFTER having seats for n1 truly makes me hate myself.

    This! I dealt with that in oh-10. Decided that was my last year on lawn.

    I had reserved N1 and lawn N2 in 2012. The lawn sucks horribly. No bueno. Do not recommend.
