Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA

Looks like another 1 nighter, with Hartford to follow. Already requested the day off from work to tailgate as early as possible with this show!

Going to be a great weekend for us new englanders

    Bummed we only get one night again, it will be interesting to see if it sells out given the two NH shows...hopefully not an indication of them fading the venue out!

    Hello all, this will be my wife's and I first trip out to Mansfield, doing Hartford as well. We are from San Diego, excited to finally get out east to see a couple shows, we typically only catch shows out west.

    Any tips or anything we should know about the venue?

    There is really nothing around the venue, pay for the EZ Out parking (it is so 100% worth it) tailgate scene is okay, lots of cops that like to ball bust if you're in the free lots.

    I really like the venue itself. Small lawn, bathrooms move quick. Nothing mind blowing but a nice venue overall. It gets Very Good to Great DMB shows over the past 10 years

    Looks like I'm adding this show. It'll be my first time out. How tough is it to score pit?

    I was at both and this is 100% true. The band seemed to "have more fun" in Hartford, but Mansfield was once again one of the most underrated shows of the tour.

    same here, the band might have had more fun at Hartford but I was personally having more fun at the Mansfield show

    I scored pit the first year they did the GA thing, it just wasn't for me so I try to avoid it now

    That being said I think if you do tm or the presale you shouldn't have a problem

    I've never had an issue with cops in the lot as long as you keep drinks in a solo cup and don't make a scene. The pay lot is more convenient as far as traffic goes but they jacked up the price last year. At the beginning of the day it was like $40 but then they changed it to like $60 by the time I got there, which wasn't even late at all. No thanks.

    In general if I park at the free lot I just hang out after the show, have a drink and some food and wait out the traffic. No reason to get in the car and waste gas. Also, if you do decide to park in the free lots do whatever you can to park in the lots on the RIGHT SIDE as you come in. When you pull in to the venue stay all the way to the right unless they tell you otherwise. The lots on the other side behind the venue are way harder to get out of in my experience.

    The bathrooms closer to the pavilion seats near the beer garden usually have a line. But, there is a third row of stalls in the back that no one ever uses. People wait in line to use the stalls that you can only see when you walk in. Go in, go through the center doorway and around to the back side. Skip the wait. You will thank me later.

    If you are out of state and under 25 you need to bring a passport. They WILL NOT serve you alcohol without it. Super strict. Here's the official policy:

    A Few ID requirements that frequently get overlooked:
    A valid Out-of-State Driver’s License which has the patron’s photo and indicates that the patron is at least 25 years of age or older and subject to the conditions that (1) the patron must actually appear to be 25 years of age or older and (2) if the patron is between 25 and 30 years of age, the patron must also produce another form of identification (such as a credit card, with a signature to compare signatures), which substantiates the person's identity.

    Otherwise it is a pretty cool venue. I've always had fun there and most of the people who work there are nice. Good sound in the pavilion and people are generally having a good time.

    San Diego rules by the way. I have a few cousins out there, I need to visit again it's been like 12 years. Hope you enjoy the show!

    The infamous 3rd row of stalls. just put your head down, keep your mouth shut and b-line in the exit door right to the 3rd row and you're pretty much by yourself.

    The best thing about Mansfield is that they have a merchandise tent outside the venue so you can get your poster/etc and put it back in your car
