Where's the best place to stand at a pop concert for best view/sound quality?
369533
To hear the concert best you would want to be right in front or behind the sound guy because he is what is changing the sound to make it sound best, and is constantly compensating for the sound coming from the stage. \n\nThings like the guitar amps on stage, stage monitors for the artist onstage typically don't sound very good and can seem overpowering when standing in the front row. For example when you are right in front of the stage and on the side of the guitar player and he has his amp turned up all the way you will typically hear his guitar more than anything else, and likewise for the bass player. \n\nThe Sound guy is typically in the center of the room in between both sides of the PA. Which will also give you a really good view of everything on stage your not stuck looking at one side of the stage the whole time.\n\nIf anything you just want to be far enough away from the stage where you can see that both sides of the sound system are pointed at you. When you get too close to the stage you sometimes find yourself below the speakers or in front of them even. Which makes for a really bad sounding show, when you walk into the room just take a look around it should be obvious where it is going to sound best and where you'll be able to see everything.

To get the best sound at a concert, an outdoor venue is usually best. The free airspace means you only get the direct sound from the speakers. You don't have all the phase cancellations that you would get from an indoor venue. Unless you have a venue that is acoustically treated very well; the sound from an outdoor venue is typically unmatched. \n\nWhen you are inside a confined venue (anything with walls) you will always have some natural reverberation from the acoustics of the room. The problem with this is that it causes the sound to be continued longer than it was supposed to which can cause a "muddiness" in the sound. Also when you are inside a venue you typically hear a lot of the stage volume, instead of the engineered sound coming through the PA. \n\nThings like the guitar amps on stage, stage monitors for the artist onstage typically don't sound very good and can seem overpowering when standing in the front row. For example when you are right in front of the stage and on the side of the guitar player and he has his amp turned up all the way you will typically hear his guitar more than anything else, and likewise for the bass player. When you are at an outdoor venue the stage is typically larger and you are further away from the sound coming from the stage.\n\nI'm not saying that all outdoor venues sound good, you have to be at a venue that is designed well. Typically outdoor venues the audience is on a inclined surface made out of cement. Which can cause a "slap back" effect. Which basically means you hear the sound 2 times, once from the speaker and the second sound from the reflection off the cement surface. But this is greatly reduced when the venue is filled with people, they usually soak up the reflected sound. The Best scenario would be an outdoor venue that has a grass field on an incline, instead of cement. \n\nTo hear the concert best you would want to be right in front or behind the sound guy because he is what is changing the sound to make it sound best, and is constantly compensating for the sound coming from the stage.

the center is always best, but usually sell out first. if u cant get center, at least get aisle side, up to 5 seats into the side section. that way u get to see everything that goes on on the stage. if ur too close though, u can miss alot.

Anywhere you can stand to observe the game.  They have some terraces in the outfield....or I guess you could call them balconies....where a lot of people hang out for the game.

Right field. Left field is good for the game view, but you can't see the big screen & scoreboard, cuz you're sitting under it. You can also see the city skyline while sitting in right field, in left, it's behind you. Plus, left field is REALLY crowded cuz that's where most of the restaurants, the bullpen & the monument area are.

Friendly Fenway all the way and the monsta seats have a wicked view.\n\nThough Wrigley field is a close second for me cause of the history both fields have.

there are only three thing you need to get a great view.  1 make sure your in an area with no and I meen no man made light, 2 any field that is at least 1 acer this is do to the view of the event horizon, 3 last but not least, the higher up you are from sea level the better,  oh and if you can try to stay behind the wind if clouds are going to move in you want to be in a spot that the wind is not going to push then over head.  with that in mind you should have one heck of a show.  Have fun!!!

Yeah, you'll get the best sound, and the most output from any sub, by placing them on the floor.  The closer you place it to a wall, the better.  And of course, a corner is even better, since that's two walls, plus the floor.  \n\nMost of us just put our computer's sub/subs on the floor, below our monitors, and within a couple of inches of the wall behind it.

You can see the stage with no problem. Bring the 'Nocs tho cause everybody looks like ants. I usually get seats in the 1st 2-3 rows but love goin up to the"nosebleed" seats to see how things sound too. Maybe I'll see you there. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!
