In the past, we have booked both premium parking and early admission tailgating to see if it is worth it. The deeper you have to go, the longer your wait will be upon entry and exit. To make matters worse, the parking wraps around the venue like a giant letter “C”, with the closer spots to the gate being paid Premium Parking (which is paved) and the further spots being free gravel / grass parking only. The reason for this is that there is only one entrance and exit and the 20,000+ strong traffic has to enter through this one choke point. Stories of multi-hour waits to get in (especially for tailgating heavy events like Jimmy Buffett) and hour-long waits to get out are common, as are stories of people who missed a prized opening act entirely because of being stuck in traffic. If there is one thing you've ever heard about Star Lake (or KeyBank, or S&T Bank Music Pavilion, or whatever flavor of the day name it has), it is likely that the parking situation is, to put it bluntly, a catastrophe. So, what did we think of Star Lake and what can you do to have the best experience when visiting? Read on! But since many of our favorite bands play there, we've sucked it up several times over the years to see performances with vastly different experiences.Īs with everything, this review is not about the performance, but rather is about the arena itself. Pittsburgh's outdoor amphitheater, The Pavilion at Star Lake (formerly S&T Bank Music Park, KeyBank Pavilion, First Niagara, and Star Lake before that), is the preferred venue for many of the world's best bands and musicians as they make their touring stop in Pittsburgh.īut this pavilion, located about 45 minutes west of downtown Pittsburgh, has had some notoriety about it throughout the years as accessing the arena is quite difficult with its one and only road in and out. Please confirm these directly with any business or attraction prior to visiting.
