--venue isnt awesome, but i'm not there for the venue.
--bad part of town? you're in a fence in parking lot drinking and eating....in 25 years i've never experienced an issue. just don't leave the park.
--basic looking? again, i'm there for the show, not the venue. If i wanted architecture and design i'd go to museums.
something more? Toyota Music Factory is BADASS. i mean, BADASS. except the low number of bathrooms, but even that hasn't proven to be an issue for me. it's a smaller venue, which obviously is a factor here (with the band).
