Nautica Pavilion

the smoking ban is a crippling bl*w to the concert industry (i cant say bl*w?). the last thing ohio needs is more enforcing of this law. i love the scene pavilion and the great artists that play there but i would stop coming if they got serious about it. this is an absoultly wonderful venue and i reccomend it to anyone who likes good music.

Went to the Moody Blues Concert tonight.(7/22/07) We were really excited! Loved the open air forum...the boats passing by, the seagulls diving and dipping through the air. I didn't feel trapped like I do at the Q. I get VERY CLAUSTROPHOBIC there. My husband had season tickets for the CAVS....one visit was more than enough for me. I loved the Scene Pavilion and the concert.(The Moody Blues may be "old" but they ROCKED!)..EXCEPT for all the SMOKERS! Okay...I know the law is brand new...BUT where were the postings that we see at the malls, and restaurants? We had to move 3 TIMES to get away from the smokers. I had to address it with three different "CREW" attendants who were very nice and did go where I pointed...BUT what about maybe having "CREW" up and down the stairs in various positions? Then people wouldn't have to "tattle" on others. "CREW" could address the issue in a more professional way. I was flicked off and called a "female dog" because I "tattled". ARRRGHHH... I ...

The Scene When the sun is setting over the west stands of Nautica, and the music's right on, the vibe and the view are unbeatable. The Cuyahoga River twists tightly around the south side of the venue, and the Superior Viaduct (along with a raised rail bridge) loom large stage left. It's not Red Rocks, but it's certainly not the CSU Convo either. Everyone has had at least one transcendent moment at Nautica. Before and After The spectacular scenery isn't the only upside to Nautica's address. Directly next door is the Powerhouse Complex--complete with restaurants, bars, arcades and the Improv. Down the West Bank boardwalk is the summer sanctuary and Shooters--along with some mighty big boats. Seating Nautica has bleachers that wrap around the back of the venue, while chairs fill in the front section. While there's not a bad seat in the house, there's not a comfortable one either. Sample Schedule Ben Harper, Brian Setzer, Tragically Hip, Warped Tour

is one of the best venues in Cleveland since The Front Row. I love the atmosphere, location, and the shows are of the HOOK!!!

It has the seating compacity now...its a fun place to go see a concert...you don't have to drive out to the boonies to get there...you can take public transportation to get there and the seating is constricted like Blossom....let the wild animals the roam the woods surrounding Cuyahoga Falls have Blossom, I want the concerts I want to see book Nautica.

While the idea of a venue on the river is nice, the passing river traffic gets annoying when you're trying to LISTEN to a concert. The standing room only section is cool, but the seating stinks... Especially if you're in the first couple rows. The security staff does a horrible job of keeping people from standing in the walkways and blocking the views of the folks who paid to sit in the seats there. Accoustics stink, which is a shame, because they book some good concerts.

Artfully done tent venue with great entertainment and performers. The Jacobs Entertainment Group and the House of Blues Concerts have one upped all others once again.
