I grew up going to boat shows at this arena, so imagine my suprise when I saw bundles of sage instead of sailboats! My 3rd-5th shows, the 1988 LB shows is where I "got it". The lobby is really cool. There is alot of space to dance or sit on the back steps (see my show reviews of this). The parking lots are small but there seemed to be ample street parking. (something I have only seen at HJ Kaiser in Oakland) It was great to be that close to the water. Shoreline Marina had just been completed so there are some really neat areas to walk around. What a great place to be for a Dead show!
