I love that we can make a day/night out of the event. It's an unforgettable experience, It makes concerts at large arenas lose their luster in comparison. You have to experience it to really understand it. You just feel connected to the singer/band/comedian (whichever type of show you're at) like you have never felt at any other place. There is a unique experience at Soundboard that I've never felt or seen at any other venue. It is a small venue, compared to arenas like The Palace, or Joe Louis, so you are much closer to the stage which is awesome but there is more to it than just close proximity. The best aspect of Soundboard, which is kind of hard to describe, is the 'bond' between the singer and/or band and the audience. The bartenders are always friendly and that is a nice touch. There is another bar inside and the line is never very long (unlike every other concert venue). Once inside, you realize every seat in the house is a good seat. When the doors open,the staff is very helpful and friendly in helping you find your seats, which is really nice the first time you go there. There is a bar outside of the theater surrounded by chairs and sofas in animal print upholstery, which provides an energetic, yet cozy atmosphere before the show for you and your friends while waiting for the show to start. It is my favorite concert venue in Michigan. I've been to many, many concerts in Michigan, and Soundboard is a very unique, and unforgettable experience. Some are worse than others, but it is always a frustration regardless.I am not into sports, but I love live music. We have seen shows at many casinos around the state, and for whatever the reason, the sound system is always terrible. All in all it is a nice venue to see a concert. Plenty of parking, which has a red/green light system to help you find open parking spaces. The staff was friendly, and the venue is easy to find if you are not staying at the hotel.

I would however sit in the rows facing the stage versus the two side sections. The upper deck has monitors as well, to help see the stage act if you prefer to watch that way. They do not recline however, so they can be tough on your back. I want to say that they are literally 50% larger and can accommodate larger folk. The seats in this venue are larger than any other place we have been, and I go to a lot of concerts. The view was not all that bad, despite we literally had seats in the back row. This time we had sat up in the balcony or upper deck versus the main floor. We have attended concerts at this venue before in the past, but it had been a few years.
