Santa Fe Community Convention Center

The is a great place to see a show. It is a small place so no bad view in the room. It is standing only which is fine with us. The outside smoking area is Great!! It is a big clean space with lots of places to sit and talk. They even had tables and chairs which is really cool. It was fast and easy getting in and out. The securities were cool and did not hassle people. We were there to see Primus and glad we drove down from Denver :) If you want to drink you do have to stand behind a gate which is fine with most people I'm sure like I said no bad views so it is not a big deal :) they were selling water in the hallway for $1 which is very fair price at a show :) All in all a great night!!

I recently saw The Pixies at this venue. So before I went I wanted to find out what kind of venue this was. I looked everywhere on the web and I found nothing. So I am writing this review I guess, so unlike me you'll have a better idea of what to expect, than I did. So it's a convention center as you could probably surmise. The one thing I did find was an estimate of 1800 person capacity, that seems high to me. The Pixies sold out and I would guess the crowd at about 1000, but I'm not a fire marshal so... They have had a few other shows but I think they are fairly new at this. There was a bar in the very back of the venue, but way to small to handle the crowd and you have to drink your beverages behind a fence thing. It's funny when I went to all ages as a minor I was fenced off in the back and now as an adult I am fenced off in the back. The acoustics were okay. it's a rectangle and flat so if someone is tall in front of you you'll be watching from around their shoulder. As for the Pixies they @!#%ing Rocked!
