What People Are Saying About Roseland Theater

In Short
Whether it's Yellowcard and Snow Patrol or Method Man and Insane Clown Posse, this venue is hoppin' almost every night of the week. Decent stage views can be had from virtually everywhere. The balcony gets a little stuffy at times, but offers excellent visibility. While the main floor is wide open for close views of the bands, during under-21 shows, adults are forced to retire to the cramped balcony bar for a drink.

The only thing going for this venue is space and it's balcony. This venue has ample room for moshing and general crazyness by the stage. However it is quite hard to find a place to see the stage on the camped main floor. The balcony is great if you want to see what is on stage however it's packed!

I've been to MMA events in arenas that were more comfy, but they don't have the hometown feel of the Roseland. This was my first FCFF event, and they kept the fights coming and didn't lose our attention at all. Plenty of crowd enthusiasm and other emotions ;) The A/C is stronger on the floor than up above but, if even a big ol fat dude like me is comfy-it wasn't too warm up top, and the view is great! My last outing here was Patton Oswalt's comedy which also rocked. At Patton's show they had a license scanner (which didn't thrill me for privacy reasons) but it was still pretty slow to get i.d. checked for upstairs access. Although I'm a smoker, the non-smoking policy is welcome. The sights, sounds, smells and emotion of this smaller venue will bring fond memories for many years. The area is a little sketchy if you haven't 'been around', otherwise it's fairly tame. I'll be back for more events at the Roseland.

My (sober) self slipped on the beer-covered stairs leading down to the main level and almost had my arm pulled out of its socket by the aggressive, surly security guard. I will never see another show here!

The Details on Roseland Theater

Know Before You Go:

If you're up close to the stage, the sound can be deafening. Bring earplugs if you don't want your ears to be ringing for days afterward.

The Extras:

The Roseland Grill downstairs, however, is a great alternative when waiting for the headliner--that is, if there's not another show happening there.

Smoking Permitted:

Yes
