I did not know what to expect. I did not think as a paying ticketed fan that there would only be a 1-hour entry time with no late entry authorized. Then, the bars closed 15 minutes after the doors closed (only to be re-opened after the commerical break). All of this made if very stressful and a cluster of getting too many fans in restricted spaces. Once we made it to our seats in the balcony we learned that the entire balcony had obstructed views with rigging blocking both the stage and the large screens up on the higher levels. I never was able to see the faces of the performances or hosts all evening. Also, it appeared that there was no air conditioning on the second level. I have never been warm at any performance in other venues but I had sweat dripping out of my clothing for the entire evening.
Overall, I am glad I experienced it, however; I will never spend my hard earned money on this again for something that I really did not get to enjoy. Also, when we purchased our tickets, Carrie Underwood was the only artist named as a perfomer. We assumed this meant we would get to watch her live, only to be disappointed that it was a pre-recorded event.
