The lower part of the lower bowl is basically pull out bleachers and they MOVE when people start moving, to the point where if you don't have your wits about you, it can be hard to stay on your feet. Be aware.
The rules seemed to change every night. One night we were allowed to bring in empty water bottles, another we weren't, despite them literally selling Nalgenes inside.
They didn't allow fans to sit on the GA floor before the show started or at setbreak.
They stop serving alcohol at the tables around 1am. If you're staying onsite, these can easily be remedied by subtley bringing booze down from your room. They had someone looking for people with obvious booze by the elevators but it was easy to get around. A water bottle of tequila in my back pocket and I was good to go.
If you can find a Sic Bo table late at night, stay and watch until you get stink-eyed away. It's wild.

That ship sailed the moment the contract with DMB was signed...they didn't increase prices on their website for two random weeknights BEFORE there was a single rumor of DMB playing at Mohegan for no reason.
