    The grass lot across from Riverbend is where we have had the most luck tailgating. Lots of people being cool and drinking. Cops are present and will joke around with you, but they are completely cool (or at least have been in the past) about drinking. I am sure if things got rowdy they would react, but throwing Frisbee or cornhole while drinking and you are good. Plus, it's not too hard to get out of after the concert. We got there at 2pm last year and the lot didn't open until 3, I think, but we just started a line of cars to get in and sat out and drank and the cops were completely cool. Hope to see everyone having a great time this year as well!

    Suggestions on a hotel for Blossom as we'll be driving down from Canada and spending the following day in town, then heading to Cleveland for the following night.
    Also, is it possible to get a cab to and from Blossom, or would you suggest taking our car to the venue? Wood rather cab it as I'd like a few cold beverages while at the show. Or does anyone know if any hotel offers shuttles to the venue?

    Cabbing it is probably not a good option for Blossom. Best bet for hotel would be the Courtyard, Hampton, or Staybridge in Stow (right off Route 8) or the Sheraton in Cuyahoga Falls....not sure if they have shuttles, but my guess would be probably not.

    Thanks somuchtoplay. I was just looking at those 3, two are booked but ones available. Reviews said traffic into the venue was brutal as it took an hour for a 5 minute drive! Hahaha.
    Think that's he one. So long as there's wifi and a pool the kids will be satisfied.

    Yeah that's all I'm seeing too. Sat in 26 a couple years ago. Way far off to the side. I'll wait for something better

    I'm very excited to go to Blossom this year. I'm from Seattle, so the Gorge has been my thing these past 10 years. I've also seen the band in Virginia because I used to live there. I'm going to be in the area visiting family so just got some Blossom tickets from the LiveNation ticket drop (so much better than through the venue's website!) and it's going to be fun to see the band in a new place. So....since I am a newbie to Blossom, what should I know about parking, tailgating, etc.? Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Steels Corners Rd can suck before a show, parking is in grass lots (if you didnt buy a pass) and depending on which lot, it can be up to a mile walk into the venue....so give yourself plenty of time to get there. Traffic can royally suck after the show....luck of the draw. Not sure what the policy is on grills, as I've never messed with grilling in the lots, but you can get away with drinking as long as you aren't being stupid (I recommend using solo cups). Venue itself is beautiful and designed for the Cleveland Orchestra, so the sound is great! Enjoy!

    I bought a parking pass and still got screwed last year. They started letting people put of the regular lots before they lot all of VIP out, so I had to sit for an hour before I could even get into that 3 mile long line of cars. The most miserable experience ive had leaving anywhere, and I had to drive all the way back to Weirton, and it was my 4th trip to blossom, only time I ever bought VIP parking. Is it worth trying again this year?

    Reading all the nightmare stories about leaving after the concert, is there somewhere to park outside the venue and walk? I don't mind a 20 minute walk to my car, if it means avoiding a 1 hour jam closer to the venue.

    Unfortunately no. It's a very strange location. Beautiful venue inside though.

    It's a 20 minute walk even after parking inside the venue....There is no place to park outside of the venue. The 2 best strategies for not having to wait (long) in traffic after shows that I have found to work in the over the 10 years of attending shows here are:

    1.) back into your parking spot....even though they make you pull in face first, wait for the parking attendants to move and then back into the spot...The one year I didn't do this, it took me an hour just to get out of my parking spot. Everyone is in a hurry and nobody wants to be nice, they will not let you back out.

    2.) run to the car after the show. You may be one of the only people running, but the fast you get to the car, the more people you beat to the traffic line. This isn't for everyone, but it does indeed help.

    There is a restaurant called "Sarah's Vineyard" just outside the road into the venue. They have a winery and also serve lunch and dinner. There is even a special pre-show express menu.

    Any advantage to having a meal and parking there, so long as they allow it? It looks like it's close enough to walk, but I don't know how much it avoids the traffic.

    View (and sound) on the fair sides is rough. Unless your seats are on the very inside part of the section, even then still iffy. Kinda feels like you're not in the pavilion. If you have a choice its better to take something farther back more in the middle.
