    Don’t know about the venue at all but

    Sallys > Modern > Pepe’s lol

    Also, I would recommend Colony Grill and get a pizza with stingers and hot oil 

    Also… just saw KOL last night in DC and it was incredible.  What a live band they are
    Thanks

    we saw them at forest hills this week and it’s the best I’ve ever seen them play. We’ve seen them 3 other times and they were always technically great but not a ton of energy. This time felt very different which is making us want to go to this venue on 10/5. 

    Plus we got The Face which is my wife’s favorite song. Literally made her cry. 
    Awesome to hear

    yeah, in terms of a rock concert, the band was nothing short of a 10/10 last night.  I wish I could do it again.
    Yea I hear that. I wish they switched the set up. I think they can easily pull it off. That rotating spot seems to get a good response from the crowd no matter how deep of a track it is. Either way, I’d gladly see this show again. Seen blew me away.

    It’s a great venue
    all the seats are great. Only like 5500 people
    use to be a minor league baseball field 
    place is right under 95 so easy in and out. I would buy the premier parking. 

    Food is good in the place. Normal stands and a bunch of food trucks. Plus there is a brewery in the place

    seen Billy strings there twice 
    Awesome! Great info! Planned on maybe trying Sally’s apizza before the show. 
    F Sallys🤪. I’m a Pepe guy. 
    Also don’t sleep on Zuppardis in west haven. Or going to Louis’ lunch for burger 
    I have to unfortunately chime in and share that the Louis lunch burger was one of the worst things I’ve ever had in my life 
    Looks amazing

    I think you’re wrong but the fact that it is the first place ever to make a hamburger sandwich makes it worth a shot if you have never been. 

    Is it the greatest budget of all time? Hell no.  That award imo goes to au chevel in Chicago 
    Marquee 91
    Wetlands 91
    CBGB 91
    Roseland 91
    and many, many more

    @JP218404

    can I ask what makes the premiere parking worth $80? 
    Closest to the venue but helps if you are getting there later. 80 is high. Didn’t pay that for strings

    Zuppardi's is absolutely the hidden getm down there. I'm a Sally's guy overall but you can't go wrong with Pepe/Sallys/Modern/Zuppardi

    Just North of New Haven in Derby is Roseland Pizza. They are TOP tier as well. HIGHLY recommend anyone around the area to try them out too. 
    First Show: Springfield, MA 4/6/94

    I’m leaving NyC at 4:15 on a Saturday. I’ve checked the last few Saturdays and it’s usually about 2:15 to get to the venue. Which of these pizzerias is closest to the venue?

    There's a Sally's and Pepe in Fairfield about 3 miles away. The OGs in New Haven are a half hour up 95.

    Awesome info. I’ll decide based on traffic when I’m close. Thanks you

    Need some help from people familiar with this venue. Thinking about seeing a show there and just looking for any heads up about stuff like seats, parking etc… tips and tricks from locals. I’m mostly concerned with parking and ease of getting out of dodge. 
    If you are going to see Creed I'm not sure this forum that will be able to guide you...Kidding, but Creed is playing there in a few days... If you want a nice dinner - go to Ralph & Riches - great Italian food only a block away.  If you want some good local pizza and only want to park once and be within walking distance of the venue - go to Brewport - great pizza and excellent selection of beer on tap - spacious bar.  If you go to get Pizza in West Haven or New Haven - factor that into your plans, because you will need extra time to travel and wait in line.  If time and effort is not an issue...Pepe's, Modern and Sally's are all top notch.  If you are coming from NYC - take the train to Downtown Bridgeport and hit the spots mentioned above that are local to Bridgeport....Enjoy!

    Thanks for your reply! 
    We’re driving there . I’ll prob look to just purchase premiere parking. My plan now is to just hit up Sally’s in Fairfield. Prob won’t have time to do the OG. We’re dead set on pizza though
