Saw Blues Traveler here on 5-17-13.  Have also seen a ballet here with the wife years ago.  I think your experience at the Pavilion largely depends on the weather, as is the case with most outdoor venues.  There is a canopy to protect from the rain, but it does allow the elements in.  \n\nMy buddy and I parked at GVR since we planned on eating at Tides after.  The walk seems like it will be long, but it's really not.  That being said, the Pavilion has good parking right on site which I would have been fine using.  Like I said, since we knew we would end up at GVR, we started there.\n\nThe will call and entrance to the facility went quickly with friendly employees.  The seats are typical in size, but the aisles are much wider than other venues.  There's not as much crawling over people to get to and from your seat.  There really isn't a bad seat in the house as far as the stage is concerned.  The lawn is of course far away in spots, but the view isn't awful.  And, you can hear the sound well.  The night we went was cool and breezy, couldn't pick a better evening.  I'm sure it's brutal when it's hot, but if you catch the right evening, it's a very comfortable place to see a show.
