I’ve never had problem with sound at the Hollywood Bowl even when I’ve sat in the back benches.

Has anyone here attended shows at both the Hollywood Bowl (seating capacity according to Google of 17.5K - so comparable to a sports arena but outside) and at St Louis's Muny (seating capacity according to Google of 11K).

How did the experiences compare? I would imagine it is much more humid in St Louis.

Ms Erivo has a concert at Chicago's Ravinia Festival later in August, and out of curiosity I googled capacity there as well. The main Pavillion only has seating for 3500. But for some shows they also sell General Admission lawn seating that can boost capacity to 18K.But the website mentions that you can only hear the concerts from most GA lawn seats, and not see the performance stage. The only time I was in Chicago Steely Dan was playing Ravinia, and I passed on it as I'm not a big fan of 70's rock. I did attend a free concert at Millennium Park where everyone was picnicking, and you couldhear the show but barely see the stage from where I was about halfway back - Google says seating capacity there is 11K.

"

It can get HOT at the Muny. As a missourian, I can tell you that our summers or a lot of times no joke. The Hollywood Bowl Is up in the mountains and I've seen quite a few shows there and oftentimes, even during the summer it can get downright chilly up there (which I enjoy)

One advantage is the Hollywood Bowl has been designed for sound first and foremost, to support the philharmonic. While it can sometime be annoying to get in and out of the bowl, once you're in it- the sound is amazing.
