First,
I
attended
here
for
a
concert,
not
for
an
event
that
is
more
typical
at
the
Cuban
Club.
Knowing
that
this
an
was
an
outlier
event,
it
was
not
a
great
venue
for
a
concert.
The
concert
capacity
was
the
size
of
The
Fairgrounds
Amphitheater,
with
the
staff,
resources
and
space
of
The
Ritz
Ybor.
Calling
this
The
Patio
is
generous,
as
this
is
a
fence
enclosed,
black
top
parking
lot
for
the
Cuban
Club.
The
line
to
get
into
the
venue
was
chaotic,
disorganized
and
inefficient.
It
went
down
the
street,
wrapped
around
HCC,
spiraled
into
and
out
of
the
HCC
courtyard,
and
back
out,
splitting
off
in
different
places.
Inside,
on
the
blacktop
parking
lot-
turned
concert
venue,
the
lines
to
buy
merch
and
get
a
drink
didn't
need
very
many
people
before
they
intermingled
with
the
crowd.
Portapotties
for
restrooms.
No
other
options.
Security/Staff
were
poorly
placed
and
primarily
absent
between
the
stage
and
the
crowd,
which
was
a
real
issue
with
people
passing
out.
They
needing
to
be
carried
out
of
the
crowd.
At
least
10
pass
outs
required
the
concert
to
pause
and
it
took
several
minutes
for
someone
to
reach
the
person.
No
shaded
areas,
no
industrial
fans,
no
water
stations,
no
traditional
bathroom
structures,
no
line
security/staffing,
and
no
staffing
in
areas
needed
the
most
on
a
traditional
hot
and
humid
Florida
evening:
the
front
of
the
stage.
The
sound
tent
was
20
ft,
center
from
the
stage.
This
was
a
problem
bc
it
restricted
an
area
best
to
see
the
show,
and
because
it
was
surrounded
by
barriers,
that
people
were
allowed
to
sit
on
top
of,
which
made
it
even
more
difficult
to
see
the
show.
I'm
not
here
to
bash
the
Cuban
Club,
bc
I'm
sure
they
worked
very
hard
at
this
show,
however,
there
are
a
lot
of
opportunities
to
improve
upon
for
future
concerts/events
of
this
size
in
the
future.
