It is right by the venue! Great hotel too; I’ve stayed there once and the staff there is fantastic. You have The BOB right between you and Van Andel; their beer is pretty good but I would make the trek over to Founder’s. Founder’s has kinda become a tourist-y spot but their beer is still incredible. A couple other faves of mine would be The Mitten Brewing Co and Brewery Vivant.

    Courtyard directly connects to the van Andel actually! Founders is definitely popular. There’s a meet up at studio park which is behind van Andel (outside).

    Lots of restaurants…
    Hopcat, Stella’s, Grand Rapids brewing company, peppinos..

    After the show there’s always Zs with the best Buffalo chicken egg rolls!

    You’re right. I thought they started charging on Saturday somewhat recently but I see the enforcement hours are still Monday-Friday 8a-6p.

    So yeah, plenty of free street parking will be available around the arena.

    The GVSU lots, directly across the River on Fulton, are also free on the weekend.

    My buddy and I are heading to this show from Chicago, can’t wait.

    Been to GR for work before, a lot of it is walkable especially in the area where the arena is located.

    Has anyone found reasonably priced places to stay walking distance to the venue? I’m coming into town by myself and starting to second guess going at all since my friend who was going to join had to back out. Don’t really want to pay through the nose or have a long ass distance to drive to and from the show, if I decide to make the trek.

    I am coming in Friday afternoon around 3. Think I'm going to hit up Founders that evening, never been there but always hear so much about it. Anyone else going to be around Fri?

    Also found this :

    METERED STREET PARKING

    The City of Grand Rapids enforces parking meters Monday through Friday, 8am-6pm. Unless marked otherwise, the meters are free after 6pm.


    so it is Free parking on Sat/Sun. What is parking like near the venue? Is there a good place to park that allows easy access out ? I don't mind walking 5 minutes to my car if it helps save leaving concert headache time lol

    "Fully vaccinated" in this case just means "two doses of Pfizer and/or Moderna" and/or "one dose of J&J" right?

    I just wanted to make sure that third doses weren't required if you got Pfizer/Moderna.

    No.

    Negative test within 48 hours also accepted.

    You are correct.

    The booster is really just for some special populations so I can't imagine that they will ever be required.

    I'm getting a booster tomorrow. BMI labels me "obese," and having kids, older parents, and getting into the winter season, though, I figured it couldn't hurt.

    Curious how they'll handle vaccination status going into next summer. Efficacy is obviously going to start dwindling for those without boosters, so either they go all in on boosters/annual shots or they scrap the requirement.

    Thank you everyone for the intel! This is going to be SO awesome.

    This'll be my first show since 5.22.18—and my first show with my WIFE—*and* it's our 1-year wedding anniversary that night! And yeah this is possibly the most intimate venue I've ever seen them in. I can't contain the excitement!

    Does anyone know if they do testing onsite? I am vaccinated, but I have people with me that are going the testing route...

    Edit: Testing onsite, or around the area. I'm sure they've had other shows/concerts that need this.

    Was there for Blake Shelton a couple weeks ago and they did right outside the entrance! I thought I saw something on a live nation email as well recently.

    I've posted in the official ISO tickets thread but thought I would try here as well. ISO single pit ticket for 11/6 Grand Rapids show. Please PM me if you have anything available.
