Sleep Train Amphitheatre In Wheatland

I've been to the Sleep Train Amphitheater twice- once for the Anger Management Tour yearsss ago and earlier this month for the Maroon 5 / Kelly Clarkson Concert. Thinking back to the chaos of getting in and out of the parking lot last time, this time we left for the show earlier but couldn't really do anything about 5pm rush hour traffic.

Surprisingly, after exiting we drove a few miles up before we had to stop in the line of traffic to get in. The security did a great job with controlling and moving traffic so it didn't take that long to get in. We got in sometime during the middle of the opening performer. Even leaving we didn't have too much of a problem. We left right before Maroon 5 ended their last song and beat the traffic. I guess we timed things just right!

Pros:
- Free  parking
- Short walk from parking lot to amphitheater
- Good traffic control going in
- Plenty of drink venders
- Tiered Seating
- Still a great view from the lawn

Cons:
- Traffic to get in and out of parking lot
- Concessions were just okay
- Most drink venders were cash only
- Even in our seats I had a hard time seating because I'm short! They need to tier those levels more!

Went to see Maroon Five and Kelly Clarkson....the show started at 7....we were just 2 miles out in a huge line of cars, and by 8:30 we hadn't gone a mile.  
    Decided it wasn't worth it to keep waiting to park, and waiting to get in, and waiting to use the restroom, and waiting to get a drink or food.    From what i read we'd be waiting to get out after the show.
    I was excited it was close to home, and i thought out in the middle of nowhere parking would be a breeze....what a disappointment. We won't be back, and definitely won't recommend the venue to anyone we know.

This was the most chaotic place I have ever been!!  Probably only about 5,000 people in line ahead of us!  I agree that the music was turned up too loud at Keith Urban's concert last night and you could not understand the words!  The amphitheatre itself was nice I thought, our seats were fine...but ALL of the people in line to get in was mind boggling...We did not arrive 2 hours early...But somehow they need to organize the entry better...We left 1 1/2 hrs into his concert so as to beat the other 12,000 or so persons whom many were drunk or high coming in, can just imagine how they were coming out 3 or 4 hours later!!  No thanks!!  No return!
