Ford Amphitheater

Ford Amphitheater is a really nice venue. This is my first time going to a concert there and I will definitely want to go back. It's not Red Rocks, nothing will ever be but it's really nice. I do regret my choice of seating though. I was considering the pit but I didn't know if I wanted to stand the whole time and then I chose center in the front which was section 103 and I ended up standing the whole show anyway because everyone else was standing. And then just a little bit farther behind us were the fire pit section and that seemed a lot nicer as well because those people had more space and it was just much more chill so I think I probably chose the third tier of seating. The pit is more fun and more interesting there are different layers of entertainment happening within the pit as opposed to just sitting at your seat or if you want maximum chill then you should get a fire pit location. So that is my only regret if I had it to do over again I would have chose one of those two locations instead but mine was okay. The sun was in my face for a good chunk of the concert and the performers were even apologizing to the audience like don't worry the sun will go down but I didn't mind because I like a little sun sometimes but you might want to be aware of that. There is a plethora of food and easy access to the vendors as well. It was a well thought out venue. And parking was really easy as well they have some optional lots that are a bit closer that felt really nice to get in and out of and secure as well. Highly recommended if you're interested in a performance and you're unsure about the venue I think you will enjoy it.

Cool venue, it was very nice and the people who worked there were very kind. Only reason for 4 stars is because the website says signs for concerts are "strictly prohibited" and its "enforced" so we didn't make a sign. Tons of other people did and were allowed to bring them in. Its really frustrating that someone can block someone else's view with a giant piece of paper but I cant put my kids on my shoulders so they can see better.

First visit to Ford Amphitheater. We saw AJR and got lawn seats. The lawn was packed so we snuck down to the seats rather than finding a spot on the lawn. We bought a parking pass, so parking was simple and easy. The sunset behind the stage was a beautiful sight to behold. The prices were kinda crazy for food and drinks, but what isn't these days. AJR was fantastic. Great show and view from where we sat.

My boyfriend and I went to see O.A.R with openers Gavin DeGraw and Phantom Planet and it was a great show! We really enjoyed the fire pit seating, the service, and the amenities. The food trucks and beverage options have improved and we snacked on funnel cakes, dippin dots, popcorn, salted pretzels, and beer for him and wine for me. We've been several times before and will be back again!

This would be a 2.5 star review, were that possible. And I cheerfully admit that with a different show and if I were 30 years younger it would have been a different experience. The facility itself is very nice. As others have noted it’s clean, laid out attractively, and there are lots of restrooms and vending options. So, it looks good on paper… We paid extra for in-close parking because one of our group was having knee issues. After inching through bottleneck traffic for about 25 minutes we were directed to what looked like a great spot right next to an entrance. But surprise! You can’t get there from here. After lining up and and going through security we we told we need to walk around to the main entrance. As several others have noted, do not look for signage. You will be disappointed. But they do have lots of friendly staff to help direct bewildered patrons. Our show was Yo Yo Ma and the Colorado symphony. Like a lot of others we ended up being late, and the show started 30 minutes late. We had great seats about 16 rows back while our friends were in seats higher up toward the grassy areas. He was amazing, but it was annoying and embarrassing to have his performance drowned out more than once by air brakes and other nearby traffic noise, and having to compete with the constant drone from I-25. And that’s from right in front. Our friends, who could see (and be impacted by) the expressway from their seats, said it was at first like hearing the show over an old transistor radio. But it improved later when the volume was turned up. For this kind of performance I would not go back. Maybe for a rock band. I have no idea if ambient noise can be mitigated, but it would be worth investigating.
