L B Day Amphitheatre

I like this Amphitheatre. I think the size is perfect. It’s not too big and not too small. You can see the show from pretty much from every spot at this amphitheatre. Plenty of parking and even tho the cost is $ 5, it’s pretty convenient to get in and get out.
We saw The Avett Brothers performed here and it was an amazing concert. The security people are on top of everything and like any other venue, no outside food and drinks are allowed.
It’s definitely one of my fave venues to see concerts outside of Portland.

This mini-​Amphiteatre is located literally in the Oregon State Fairgrounds and is usually the most active during the fair season. Most people might hear the name and think this is a massive venue for a major musical act, but is very small in reality. I’m not entirely sure of what the capacity is for this place, but I am almost certain it won’t hold more than 5,000 seats. In fact, if it holds more than 3,000 seats I will be incredibly impressed.
The seats are all color coordinated to show various sections and prevent confusion. None of these seats (or benches) are comfortable enough to sit in for long periods of time. I cannot stand It is however, part of the city’s historic landmarks and for the Salem faithful this tends to be a fun place to enjoy a concert. There was some issues a while back on it being closed due to poor ticket sales, but hopefully it will be able to stand the test of time while getting more acts to come in and rock the fair crowd.
