Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall

Came here to attend the graduation ceremony (of USC) of a friend. The place is huge! Easily seats a thousand people. The seats are extremely cramped. I’m 6’2’’ and I couldn’t sit straight without my knees touching the chair in front of me. A very uncomfortable three hours. It’s a pain to find parking close by, and the streets get crowded very fast. Make sure you account for the delays. The food and drinks are over priced.

I've seen Purity Ring, Jamie XX and Tyler, The Creator. One of the best concerts and experiences I've ever had. I love this spot. The only thing is that drinks are SO expensive. But when you're having a good time, and everyone's body heat is draining your hydration levels and rising your body temperature to feel like you're burning up but you confuse it with the fire performance from one of your favorite artists, you won't care about the slightly elevated prices of the drinks here. Either way, great spot.

It's pretty freaking huge, Has interesting decor outside, however, it is surprisingly plain on the inside. This is probably due to how they do more than just concerts but it felt like an old school cafeteria in a way, like a school dance. I have been to other venues with character in and out. Once you get in the main hall all the character is gone but its really ok if the event is engaging enough.

Beautiful location and building! Can house 1ooo's of folks easily. I saw Michelle Obama speak here. Quite amazing

I went February 10th to the 88Rising concert. The outside is gorgeous and the inside was twice as gorgeous! The red velvet, bright lights, and long stairs made me feel like I was in a movie. The room with the stage was huge and the setup was awesome. Really enjoyed it! Check out the 88Rising gang too!!!
