I had to take a seat far up in the second balcony, since I arrived late; it was tough finding parking. Rather than pay $5 for garage parking for a 1hr concert, I bought a $1 small drink at the nearby McDonald's and parked my car in their lot, being careful to leave a McDonald's bag and receipt in plain sight.

Even though my seat was way up in the nose-bleed section, the sightlines in the newly-built Meymandi Concert Hall were terrific, and the acoustics great.
