Beautiful auditorium, great sound, comfortable seats and good sight lines. But OMG the parking situation!
The night we went to the Willie Nelson concert, there was also some big jazz thing in a neighboring auditorium. School was in session too. IU could at least clue visitors in that there's a parking structure, available without a pass on the weekends, fairly close to both venues. Rather than allow people to drive around aimlessly for 15-20 minutes pre-show, searching in vain for non-permit parking that just doesn't exist, there should be a couple signs!!! There were even police out directing the nutty traffic...you would think they could put up a few signs.
This year is our third in Bloomington, and for some reason we had not taken in the shows at the Auditorium. I feel like I have missed out! The acts, plays, musicals and singers that are brought in to IU are nothing short of world class, the staff is fantastic, the ushers are excited to be there and great at that jobs and the community is involved. I've been to almost every touring show this year and will be as long as I am at IU. What a great experience!
