Tips for Riverside Municipal Auditorium

this was a big waste of time and money ! unless u get balcony seating (wasn't offered through goldstar) or are one of the few that get lucky to be in around the ring in the first row, you won't be able to see anything. "general admission" is standing room only and 100s of people filled this place. so imagine standing behind 50 people standing in front of you, I was literally watching te match on people's cell phone screens as they held their phone to see something . a tall can of beer was $12 ! I bought one and it was handed to me warm. really?! if I'm gonna pay top dollar, at least give me a COLD Frickin beer! it was so terrible that we left during the second match. I don't recommend this unless you can get balcony seating. not happy at all ! you will get a better show watching you tube videos FOR FREE they should have made everyone sit so everyone could fairly see the ring. even if in just banquet folding chairs . I can not tell u how ridiculous it was.

Parking was a bit of a pain. There is no on site parking at this venue but there dozens of public lots in the area that are free after 6pm and all day on the weekends.

We parked a short walk away, did not have a problem with parking. Matinee

We ate before the program

Dinner reservations encouraged for Mission Inn restaurants

Theatre does tend to get a bit cool, even during afternoon performance

Many children were in Christmas dresses and adults.

Park first then eat. Mission Inn traffic can be crazy.

Don't exit Mission Inn off 91 Frwy. Too much traffic at night

Many local venues within walking distance offer great ambiance

Evening shows will be harder on parking with the Lights at the Mission Inn.

Bring a sweater/jacket

Busy in Downtown Riverside. May have to walk a bit.

More on the dressy side.

Not much to choose from
