The new Mystic Lake Amphitheater just opened last weekend and we're learning things that are important to make note of. There are three pieces of information that I found especially useful if you plan on going to a show.

We'll go over that plus all of the shows that have been announced for this summer.

Three Things You Need to Know Before Going to Mystic Lake Amphitheater

1. Bring Sunglasses

According to a Reel from Mike Marcotte, he pointed out that you'll be facing west when watching shows at the Amp. Well that's really good to know because the sun will be setting when the shows are happening! So bring some sunglasses.

2. There Are Free Water Refill Stations

You're allowed to bring an empty reusable water bottle into the venue and they have free water refill stations for you to utilize while you're there. I'm a big fan of that! I don't think I want to know how much it would cost to buy a bottle of water there.

3. There Are Chairs for Rent

If you got tickets on the lawn, there's an option to rent chairs, according to Mike Marcotte. You are allowed to bring your own blanket but no outside chairs are allowed. To rent a chair, you'll go to their website, go to 'Upgrades', then 'Add Ons', and then 'Find Your Show'. Chairs are $9.23 each.

Also, just FYI, drinks are EXPENSIVE. Mike Marcotte points out in his Reel that a Busch Light is $16.50 and canned beverages like NUTRL will cost you a whopping $23.
