I used to see wsp there a lot back in the day.

I worked in that shopping strip with the Rouse's, and it was fun watching all the hippy girls take their clothes off in the parking lot before heading to the WSP concert at the arena.

Thanks!

one of the best places to watch a concert imo, it holds i don't know- 8-10 thousand, a little smaller compared to the arena, but a solid place to hold a concert. i seen many shows here

Will be in the nose bleed but center of stage.

I know they sold individual seats, but Billy Strings at UNO for all intents and purposes will be a General Admission show. It's going to be a free for all in there.

back in the mid 80's thru the 90's, the LF Arena was the top destination for concerts in NO. The Dome was to expensive & big, and the Saenger was too small. I was in HS and college and could always find $25 to go see a live show .... I saw a ton of concerts including: Allman Bros., AC/DC, Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Eric Clapton, Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, Soundgarden, Dokken, Ozzy, DIO, Genesis, Ratt, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, RHCP, R.E.M., Scorpions, Grateful Dead, Widespread Panic, Van Halen, Page & Plant, Black Sabbath, Boston, Bad Co.

My only regret is not going to see RUSH who played UNO 6 times
Would loved to have seen Rage Against The Machine as I'm sure it was fricken nuts

Widespread Panic played UNO 32 times, mostly their Halloween shows

even Frank Sinatra, Prince, and Fleetwood Mac played the LF Arena

it's still a great venue with tons of parking. Not a bad seat in the house. Not close to any hotels or food places, but ample space to chill in the lot and do your thing pre-concert

i don't think there are. Saw Tool there and had what I thought were going to be bad seats. But, I had a perfect view of Maynard who unlike most leads was off to the left side ( as you're facing the stage).

December of 99.

My buddy and I got tickets for the pit for 20 dollars each off eBay. Last day of finals first semester at lsu. One of the best concerts I’ve ever been too.

you’ll be fine (probably)
I’ll be there both nights

UNO is a great concert venue.
I’ve seen too many shows there to count

That place has really gone to shite. The venue only gets what can’t handle the Smoothie King. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Sure, It can use a Facelift. I wouldn’t mind seeing more shows there. It’s a good mid size place. Since it isn’t huge even if you are in back row it is still a good view.
