Editorial Review for Bank of America Pavilion – by Eric Grossman
The Venue
The spectacular waterfront view of the Boston skyline at sundown makes the 5,000-seat Pavilion one of Boston's most appealing concert venues. Seating is arranged in a semicircle that narrows closer to the stage with corporate box seats. The huge white tent is held up by angled support beams which means no obstructed views anywhere. Seating at tables is also available in two concourses outside, but consider these the nosebleed seats. It's tough to see the stage from back there.
The Experience
The sound is what you'd expect from an outdoor arena. It echoes slightly but if you're in or near the center, the acoustics are crisp. Sitting on the far edges, there's a noticeable lack of bass. Pricey concessions include lobster rolls, wine and monster cups of beer. Parking is available in nearby garages and free shuttle service by bus is available at South Station.

What a fabulous venue! Easy to get to, plenty of reasonably priced parking. With a great view of the harbor, there is always a nice breeze and you can see the planes coming for a landing at Logan. The biggest surprise was the bathrooms - really nice! Not what you would expect at an outdoor venue. The staff is pleasant and helpful. The seat are very close together (they chairs are all bound to each other) but there really isn't a bad seat in the place. There is a pretty good selection of food and beverages. They are pricey, but I've seen a lot worse. This is just a great place to see a concert!
Pros: Nice bathrooms, good parking, easy to get to, not a bad seat in the house.
Cons: Congestion at the entrance because of the t-shirt concession.

Been to a lot of places around and I love this place. Ticketmaster and clear channel still rip you off, but it's like that in any decent size venue. Kind of out of the way, but it's an outdoor venue, it needs to be away from the heart of the city a bit. At least it's not Tweeter (horrible!). Not one seat is bad and the atmosphere is relaxed, wish the season was longer.
Pros: Small, intimate for popular bands
