Weidner Field

Oof! BEWARE! This place could be awesome, but sadly, it's not. In fact, it's the polar opposite of awesome. Security will be looking to hunt you down. Don't stand in the wrong place. Don't smoke in the wrong place. Don't even try to have a good time. Drink the $15 beers and be thankful. This place is a TRAP! You are not allowed to re-enter. You will get frisked and searched upon entry. God forbid you'd like to enjoy some nachos, a hot dog or a beer. Expect to take out a second mortgage or donate your left testicle. Even "Subway" was offering sandwiches (not footlongs) for $15 and did you want a drink and tiny bag with 4 sunchips in it with that? Make it a combo for $19.75!!!!! Bottles of water were $5.50!!!EXCUSE ME WHAT!?This place honestly should be ashamed. Perhaps a BOYCOTT is in order?

I've been to a few Switchback games here and had a blast each time. There is really no bad seating. I walked around the entire stadium and had great views the entire time. I felt the best deal was grabbing some tickets at the box office, in the all-you-can-eat area. The tickets are about $100/ea, but I easily ate $60 worth of food! So I felt this was the best deal. The atmosphere and vibe was great. A dedicated parking area would be nice, however, I showed up about 30 min before kickoff and was able to find a parking lot across the street for $20. Not too bad.

Stadium is cool. No parking lot for the stadium so that's rough. The clear bag policy is trash. I had a small bag that held my phone and keys and was turned away. Numerous people in line in front of me had Fanny packs and bags twice the size and they were permitted entry without a problem. Fix the policy or enforce it equally.

The security was so unprofessional and rude. Yelling at everyone about how they will kick us out if we did anything wrong. No one was doing anything against the rules, but they march up and down the line screaming. I heard them cussing at an old couple because they were confused. I bought concert tickets at this venue. There was no information about the gigantic block to see the stage. There was no information about when the gates open or when people would perform. I'm sitting in the rain right now, the next artist was introduced and nothing. The sound is horrible, we can't even tell what song it is. If we try to go closer, (on the soccer field) we get stopped by security. My tickets cost more than the field but not only can I see nothing of the stage, the music is distorted. I'm so disappointed. This could be a cool place but like everywhere close to the metro, it's inaccessible unless you want to spend $500-1000 per ticket. Ridiculous.

Having gone to over 100 concerts in dozens of places, I feel I have the right to say that this stadium SUCKS for shows!!! I assume the 5 stars are from inexperienced concert or event goers as this stadium is one of the worst I've ever seen!Security is a bunch of bros who have extremely inconsistent standards! My sister got turned away for a single pocket purse smaller than a Fanny pack, while letting clear bags full of blankets they didn't even look through!! And yes, I know they have a clear bag policy as they shouted it through microphones AFTER you got into line! Yes online says this, but it also says small purses!We then got inside the venue to see: pepper spray in a ziplock bag!! Someone who had a large purse inside a ziplock bag! Very large hydroflasks that were as large as a purse! Those bleachers seats that have metal and the size of a pizza box folded up! Huge blankets hiding bottles of alcohol and other contraband! Fanny bags, purses, and drawstring bags...all smuggled in a clear bag!! What the actual f***!! If you want to smuggle something in, wrap it in a blanket and put it in a clear bag as security told us, "they won't look through bags" and that's why "big" purses aren't allowed.I can't speak to the food as the lines were atrocious!! The fact that the main walkway is both a standing area AND the food lines is a terrible design flaw! Got clipped by several vendors pulling carts of ice and food! It was over 80 degrees and very conveniently, the water fountains were "out of order" and water bottles were $5.50 before tax!!! Totally worth the 20+ plus minutes spent in line for a room temperature bottle of Aquafina After making a giant lap around the venue, thanks to unclear signage, we finally made our way to our field floor section. They have the stupidest and most hackable system. There's a stamp they used that said FLR 1 and 2 for the sections, but apparently the stamps run out and they use Sharpie to write it on peoples arm instead...so if you want a floor spot, just use a sharpie to write FLR 1 as several people did! But if you do, just know there will be DOZENS of children unsupervised, running, jumping, and hitting people in the crowd. With security bros walking around, chatting to each other, making out with their girlfriends in the crowd, and not giving a shit about security.My list is near endless for why this place is terrible, including why the doors open at 4, say the show starts at 5, and it took almost an hour between all four bands' sets. And when the bands did come on, the speakers were pretty bad. The screens were the worst I've seen, as every artists face was an odd color. I was glad to not be one of the side seating sections as they had to sit on bleachers and seemed to have a nice view of the side of the stage and not much else. I was also glad to not be in the floor section 2, as there was some sort of giant tent taking up the entire middle back of the first section and obstructing half of the back field view.And then don't even get me started on how many e cigs and vape pens I saw on the field!! All being smoked as "security" walks right past them!!I guess since Google makes me put a star, I will say the port a potties in the floor section was nice as I didn't have to leave to pee. But then it loses half a star as a kid ran into me because the area by the potties were a tag zones for the monsters.What else does one expect from a Colorado Springs stadium tho ‍ #denverisbetter #redrocksisbetter

Really nice field and new edition to downtown Colorado Springs. Wish they sold hard alcohol on the east side as well. White claws are 12$ and churros are 6$.. guess to be expected at an event. I got early and got street parking.

Attended the Jonas Brothers concert tonight and was treated like animals. Concert ended early due to a thunderstorm. Most people left, but there were about 20 people waiting inside for a ride share. Security kicked us out into to the rain and lightning. They didn't care as they could see us getting soaked and cold for almost an hour. We are so upset that this venue could treat us so bad. All the security was so rude and to be treated like animals is unacceptable. Shame on you!!

DO NOT BUY CONCERT TICKETS FOR THIS VENUE!! We have been here for Switchbacks games and have had a great time. We thought it was a perfect venue for a concert. Definitely not!! Be aware. Views are comprised for most of the venue. Paid over $400 to look at a tent and porta potties. Not happy. Will never come back for a concert. Don't make the same mistake I made.

Bought tickets to Five Finger Death Punch last summer. We live in Kansas and drove 11 hours to get there. The show was canceled the next day, so couldn't get any of our money bavk or cancel the hotel. Then they told us we could go to incubus the next weekend. Not possible. I have sent emails twice now and they continue to say they don't refund till it has been officially canceled. It says TBA on the concert, so $300 later still waiting. Not happy with this venue or customer service

08/25/2023 Parking was hard to find and the area surrounding the field is pretty sketchy. The show on Friday was canceled at the last minute the night before because of rain that was gone before the show would have even started. An hour's delay would have been fine if they were so concerned about getting wet. No way to refund the tickets, and my only option is to sell them, but who is going to want these worthless tickets now? It probably won't even be the same bands. We didn't even want to see Five Finger Death Punch who were apparently the headliner (which I didn't know since I don't really listen to them). We had actually planned to leave during their set. We only wanted to see Ice Nine Kills who will most likely not be returning when this is rescheduled. Waste of money and 2hr drive.08/27/2023 Absolute worst experience with this place twice in one weekend. Considering that we had already dealt with the cancelled show only 2 days prior, we had low hopes for the venue for this show, and they somehow managed to go lower than our expectations. So many cops and so much security that looked ready to start stuff without hesitation was terrifying. I have never been to a show like that, and I've been to tons of shows of all different genres. Even Mudvayne's "The Psychotherapy Sessions 2023 Tour" the day before at Fiddler's Green didn't have anywhere near that much security, where absolutely nothing happened other than people enjoying music together, and it was a way heavier show than this. Just crazy to see this much brute presence at an Incubus show.Since there was so much security taking up all the room inside (typical that they give themselves priority over the paying customers), the concert goers were left out in the rain including the f-n VIP people. None of us should have had to stand out in that pouring rain, but general admission is unfortunately a "get what you paid for" situation. VIP, however, paid extra and instead of letting the small handful of us stand inside (considering how much extra we all spent for our experience), we were stuck out in the rain for over two hours. To top it off, they finally let us all inside (now soaked mind you) to wait for the lightning to pass. With our previous experience on Friday, I couldn't believe that they didn't cancel the show seeing as the storm this day (Sunday) was far worse this day than it was Friday, which they cancelled instantly. I'm glad that they didn't cancel this one, but it makes no sense. Then, they couldn't even scan VIP Pit tickets FROM THEIR OWN APP. It took them 8 minutes just to search through their email to find our tickets, which was insane to me. Anyway, they eventually decided to send us all out onto the field hours later while it was still pouring down and barely 60 degrees. If the lightning was an insurance liability, how was any of that not also a liability? Well, the concert went on and it was incredible, but that had nothing to do with Weidner Field. That was all the artist's doing. Weidner Field is the absolute worst! I won't recommend it and I will not go back after it being such a crappy experience like this on two separate occasions.
