Forest Hills Stadium - Forest Hills, New York

Eines der schönsten Stadions für ein Musikkonzert, die man sich vorstellen kann ?

Truly, this is a wonderful venue. While there is no parking here, there are plenty of garages in the are, as well as it being a train stop.

The venue itself is the perfect size for a good show, while having great seating almost no matter where you sit. Please note, all seating is bleacher unless you get the seats in the center (401, 501, 601, 701) but be aware there are 2 large poles that may obstruct views in sections 401 and 701.

Plenty of food and drink options (though alcohol is pricey, I've come to expect it from venues).

Bathrooms are among the best I've seen at venues, and they do their absolute best to keep things moving. I've never waited in a long line here.

Forest Hills itself is a really neat neighborhood, and bars open for shows and sell drinks on the streets where they close down the square.

Shows have a hard stop at 10pm, so don't expect encores to go beyond. . . It's in a residential area.

I've seen 3 shows there now ... once in GA standing floor, once in 301 3rd row, and once in 401. (Zach Bryan twice, and Sturgill Simpson once).

Highly recommend!

Love this spot for concerts! Just saw Sturgill Simpson there this past weekend, and it was great. Not a bad seat in the house, staff were great, and a lot of options for vending — canned wine usually scares me a little but they had a great brand! Cocktails looked good too. Bathrooms could’ve been better.

Recently saw Tiësto here and it was an amazing venue.

Let me start with the cons:
Leaving the venue, a crowd of 13,000 was being filtered out with metal barriers. The police officers were standing in front of these barriers and in between them in the way of everyone coming out. As we were walking through, they continued to enclose these metal barriers on us. I'm talking about people smashing into each other because the space to leave is now only 1 person wide! Everyone was screaming and I asked the officer can we please get out of here?! They kept directing to keep walking as people could have been trampled on. One person who made it out was recording the incident and asked an officer why people cannot leave the venue properly. He told the guy to "mind his own business" never in my life have I seen crowds being blocked off to leave a place. This was absolutely insane!! What the hell were you doing?!

Pros: Staff was super friendly. Bathrooms were great. Lots of food and drinks options available. Free water filling stations. Bring an empty plastic bottle into the venue.

Other:
Parking was easy, drove in from NJ. You can find non permit parking if you look. There are also garages around but expect to pay at least $50. Get there early and find a free spot to park. Neighborhood is beautiful.
Read the site about bag regulations.

AMAZING experience. Highly recommend upgrading your ticket to the Golden Apple. It's worth every penny. You get early access, 2 drink tickets, and more. The staff at Forest Hills Stadium are AMAZING! Thank you all!

I’ve been here many times. What can I say? Nothing beats an outdoor venue. Music sounds so much better outside.

This venue is not huge but always nicely organized. They have a tons of food and drink venues, so it always feels like a music festival.

Staffs are super friendly and the venue is super clean.

Was medium sized venue but felt very intimate with great acoustics and cool neighborhood of Queens. The only downside is that being in Queens, there's a hard stop on sound/music at 10. But would love to go back to see another band. Saw Men I Trust and Khruangbin who were really great both groups. And enjoyed ourselves.

Nice location with many food and beverage vendors. It is almost like a regular stadium like the US open or a Mets game. Great show but there is no parking so be ready...this is off queens Blvd and there will always be road closures for events.
