Editorial Review for Post-Gazette Pavilion at Star Lake – by Bob Braughler
The Scene
In only 10 years of existence, Post-Gazette Pavilion at Star Lake has managed to become far and away the biggest concert venue in the area and 1999 was the biggest year ever for the venue in terms of attendance, with sold out shows for Jimmy Buffett, Steve Miller, and more. In all, over 650,000 people managed to make the drive to Burgettstown for a show.
The Skinny
Once you finally get there, Post-Gazette Pavilion's a pretty good place to see a show. With pavilion-seating and an ample lawn area, the amphitheatre holds somewhere in the vicinity of 27,000. Food and facilities are adequate, and some decent beers can be bought at the site--expect to pay some serious bucks for them, though. And finally, once the concert's over, music lovers get the pleasure of an extended stay in the parking lot, which occasionally takes several hours to empty following a big show. But, if you want to see the big shows, Post-Gazette Pavilion at Star Lake's just about the only game in town.

advice: car pool with several friends & split the overly expensive parking; eat a ton of food before you go into the venue or expect to pay outrageous sums for mediocre junk food; spend a lot on your seats and get near the stage or don't bother going -- sight & sound on the hillside (behind reserved seating area) is horrible; if you're lucky enough to have a reserved seat & you're not extremely close to stage, expect to get pelted w/huge pieces of sod torn from hillside by pissed-off spectators.
Pros: good if near stage, easy access
Cons: way too expensive, bad if not near stage

This is nice place to go to see a show. There are great shows there and many seats in both the seated area and the lawn. The only problem is if it rains and that is up to mother nature.
Pros: great sound, screens for lawn seat, great shows
Cons: crowded, expensive, weather
