We went to the Mercy Me concert on March 4, 2022. Of course, the concert itself was amazing. We love Mercy Me and Micah Tyler before we even arrived, and they were both over the top great as expected. The venue was a bit of a mystery. If there had not been a crowd forming at the door, or a photo of the building online, we would not have known whether we were in the right place. We also had a difficult time finding parking until we traveled down a side street. I think this place could use a couple signs for out of towners like me. My husband is 5'7 and his knees were touching the seat in front of him in a way that made him very uncomfortable. He had to get up several times and stand in the aisle during the show. Also, we were in the balcony, and there was a disco ball and some other item obscuring the view of the big screen they used to amplify the view. The big screen was amazing, but it would've been nice to be able to see the whole thing. There was also a horizontal row of stage lighting obscuring about a foot worth of the view of the very top of the screen for the people in the balcony. That was a bit annoying. All the employees were friendly, polite, and helpful.

Attended the Backroad Blues Festival here. The Hall is beautiful. Staff was so friendly - all (drinks, snacks, security, merchandise sales). A short walk from our hotel (Holiday Inn Express). Only negative is that the bathroom is in the basement.

The security and staff needs re-training. I paid for 2 VIP tickets and the security allowed for a huge crowd that was not VIP go right in front of the stage and the 3 VIP rods got box in by the crow. Called Ticketmaster and they suck as well.

Springfield Symphony Hall is just part of the municipal group, three separate structures dating from about World War I. Springfield City Hall has the same Greek façade with stately Corinthian columns and grand stairs, all made of Indiana limestone. Between the two identical structures (façade only) stands a replica of a Florentine bell tower. Symphony Hall has excellent acoustics and makes the perfect home for the Springfield Symphony Orchestra, which is directed by Maestro Kevin Rhodes. Most recently, they performed Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3, a delight to the audience which gave a standing ovation. Other musical performances and speaking engagements occur here, also. David Gergen appeared last year. There are no bad seats in the hall. Just good seats and better seats.

We enjoyed a quality concert with the Springfield Symphony. Excellent acoustics in a fine hall . I recommend rush tickets for seniors and youth if eligible. Very good value in any case.
