Been there many times. Its a good enough outdoor location. Lawn is fine but gets very crowded. If you take a blanket and want to corner off a 10x10ft space, know it will be trampled. On the lawn youll spend more time watching the screens. Seated area is better.

The "hood" its in is just the worst. Getting in and out is the worst. Buy Premium parking ahead of time if you can. And get there a couple hrs early. It truly is a sheethole area, so make sure to know where you are going beforehand.

If you go to a concert that is not completely sold out then the lawn area is great. Otherwise it is best to get reserved seating. We are going to see One Direction next weekend and got the lawn seats only because the reserved was priced so high. The lawn area will be jammed pack.

It also depends if you like to be able to really see the stage or if you don't mind watching the big tv's. It is hard to really see on the lawn seats unless you watch the tv's. Just like with any concert you will stand the entire time in the reserved and depending where you pick a spot in the lawn you might also have to stand to see anything.

If you sit in the lawn be sure to bring a large blanket and really look before you lay it down. With all the rain the fire ants are horrible and you will find plenty of mounds there.

As far as hotels....there are plenty of neat ones in Downtown. That would be the closest and safest area to Gexa.

Definitely get there early because you will be waiting in line forever to get in. We always try and leave before the last two songs because it is a nightmare getting out.
