text: This was my first visit to Consol Energy Center to see Paul McCartney in concert. I entered through the main gate which is by the hockey statue. I knew to travel light since both I and my tiny purse were subject to inspection.\n\nI went to purchase a bottle of water after buying some show gifts and found that the lady would not let give me the cap to put on it.  This made it very awkward for me to use the ladies room before the show let alone trying to get to my seat.\n\nMy seat was located on the floor where normally during hockey season the ice would be. I was struggling very hard just to climb down those steps since I had no one to help me and I still had this open bottle of water in my hand. Finally an usher came up to me and helped me to the floor.\n\nWhen I found my seat I was so concerned about that water bottle being knocked over because I knew this was a sold out concert and people around me would be dancing to the music. Paul put on an incredible show which truly made my visit worthwhile.\n\nAt the end of the concert I wanted to leave on at the lower level gate. Instead I was forced to climb several staircases to the uppermost entrance and had to walk all around a crowd of people just to get down to where I was parked. I have bad knees so this climb was a bit harsh on me.\n\nPlease note that they do have places to eat both inside and a couple of restaurants right outside but I wasn't hungry. \n\nIf it weren't for the fact that I had problems with my water bottle which I was grateful didn't spill I would have given this place a better rating. If I ever decide to come back I'll call ahead to find out how to enter and exit without having to climb stairs.
