SPAC has both sheltered (room) and outside seating, including pick your own spot on the lawn to hear but not see the performers. It's in a beautiful wooded park.

SPAC is the least favorite place for us to see a show. From Dave Mathews to Pearl Jam (two consistantly awesome live acts) the sound quality is horrible. Parking is a royal pain in the you know what, and alcohol policy borders on the prohibition era! See your act somewhere else, only here if it a must!

Fantastic schedule of both fine art and popular music. Avoid sitting on the lawn at all costs for Rock concerts.

What more can I say? It's SPAC! Ballet, orchestra, rock 'n roll, jazz. Under the stars or in a seat, it's the best.
