lucky13 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Does anyone have any info on the site? Someone said that there is a 10pm curfew? If so does anyone have inside info when they will go on stage? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

billydee Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 The 6:30pm start (most likely) means that LR Band plays until 7:15pm and Wilco takes the stage at 7:45pm. So a 10pm (or so) curfew makes for a strong possibility. Edit: just called the promoter and they told me something like "the curfew was not strict but that they wanted to try and meet the 10pm ending if possible". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheSunCaughtFire Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 From what I can see on the map, the park looks pretty big. I think the amphitheatre is close to South Avenue. Does anyone know where the "gates" are for this and where the best place for parking might be? BTW - I'm pretty new here and am thrilled to be finally getting to a show on this leg of the tour!!

williamblanda Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I'm pretty sure the gates are where South Ave and Robinson Drive meet. I could be wrong, but that's where they were located the last time I visited. There are plenty of parking spaces in nearby residential streets. The neighborhood's nearby are mostly quiet, but I wouldn't leave anything in plain sight inside the car once you park. The area has gotten better, but still needs some work. For the Lilac Festival a lot in the nearby elementary school was opened for paid parking, not sure if it will be done this Friday, but certainly keep an eye open - it's across the street from the Highland Hospital. Anyhow, if anyone is planning to grab dinner before the show, there are a bunch of great restaurants in the South Wedge. Tex Mex is fun, Beale Street might have some live blues, Tap and Mallet is great with nice outdoor dining, and Mis en Place has a nice grocery/deli set up. There are more places to chow down, but those listed above are tested and true for bein' acceptable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ViaBuffalo Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 This venue is sweet. Great sight lines, great acoustics, and a ton of space. Very easy to get in so don't worry about that. There's a couple of big fields they'll direct you in for parking if I remember correctly. I think residents set up parking for a few bucks too. Dinosaur BBQ before the show will make you happy. Last time I went to a show there it went past 10:30pm so I don't the curfew is a huge deal. Jelous of all you that are going. I'll be at Lollapalooza so I guess I'll be fine.

theashtraysays Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Thanks for all the info. Friday is my 50th birthday, and my wife and I will be at the show, but I know next to nothing about Rochester. This is helpful. We'll be there, and really looking forward to it.

johnnyuma Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 A few more details for those traveling to Rochester and looking for parking.The Al Sigl Center at the corner of Elmwood and South Avenues will have $5.00 parking for the show. It's a mere block and a half from the Bowl. The "gates" are on South Avenue just across from Robinson.Expect Wilco to go on about 7:45 or 8. Weather should be fine but hot. Highs in the 90's this afternoon.See ya later Quote Link to post Share on other sites

theashtraysays Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 And it worked!! Well, that's the story I'm going with, anyway. They probably wouldn't have played it if it was "just" Stan's birthday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
