SPAC's multi-tier amphitheater is acoustically ideal, offering a vibrant and resonant sound no matter where you sit. In addition to the enclosed amphitheater, the popular and economical lawn area allows you to bring your own low-backed chair or a picnic blanket, and relax beneath the stars for night of music. The lawn is sloped and features large screens optimally placed to ensure that you see the concert as if you had 5th row seating. View SPAC's Seating Chart >>
