Parking is an absolute cluster fuck. I am baffled that their parking situation for concerts was even approved.

You have to park across the street (which is busy), and very far away. So you walk like a half mile to cross the road, but then that backs up because it’s a busy road and there’s so many people. Then you gotta walk to the entrance which is on the other side of the venue from the path lol.

Leaving is a mess as always. Exits aren’t marked well, not enough people controlling traffic, and they route some of the exits to windy back roads.

Despite that, it is a decent venue and cool spot to see a show. My recommendation is as follows:

1. Get there early. You don’t need to be there hours in advance or anything, but at least try to get there like an hour before the show starts. Then you won’t be rushing to get in on time.

2. Take note of where you parked. Use Google maps or one of those find my car apps. Pretty obvious tip, but it’s very easy to forget where you parked in a huge empty field, especially if you indulge in some party favors.

3. Don’t wait until the show is actually over to leave. If the artist does an encore (which most do; just double check via setlist.com), leave when they start the encore or the last song of the encore. It’s usually the “big hit” anyways. That’ll give you enough time to get a head start and make it out before it gets backed up. And if you really want to see the encore, here’s a pro-tip for Hershey:

Leave when they start it, and then head back on the path towards the parking lot (you’ll know exactly what I mean when you walk to the venue). There’s a spot on the side there where you have a clear view of the stage and can hear great. You can watch the encore from there, and you still got a big enough head start to avoid the traffic jam.
