The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park in San Diego

We got tickets for a Christmas concert here for the first time and it was well worth it. Tip: go to the early slot so parking is easy coming in and when leaving also. We parked at the Convention Center Parking structure $40 and it was only 5min walk to the Shell. There are food venues inside and theyre actually pretty good (pizza, Urban burgers/fries).

WOW!! What an incredible venue. We have seen a lot of concerts at a lot of venues and I can easily say this has to be in the top 3. Sound was beyond amazing. We were in town for a conference and our hotel was right by this venue, we could hear the previous night concert pretty clear from our balcony. Decided last minute to buy tickets to see Neil Young and we werent disappointed. Seriously can not say enough about the sound. Seating was great. I dont think there would be a bad seat in the venue.

Though we havent been to a show at this venue, we decided to check it out and see the layout.Love the layout of the venue, and I bet the shows are really great here! We are going to have to come back and attend a show at this venue!The venue was very clean and it looks like it has a snack area available and there is general admission seating where one can bring a blanket. And then there is seating on seats!In the meantime, here are a bunch of photos of the general area and the stage area as well.

The sound was amazing and the venue was beautiful. Ahi poke bowls were yummy but BEWARE of the wine prices. Paid over $50 for two simple glasses of red wine before tip.

Amazing spot!! Concerts on the bay with beautiful scenery. Pay for your ticket or enjoy a free concert when sitting on the side benches. Went for the 4th of July, and it was so beautiful to see the fireworks reflecting on the water. I have been back many times and enjoyed all kinds of concerts. This is a must stop if youre in San diego.

Beautiful views of the San Diego harbor from this concert venue. My only peeves were that the seats werent tiered high enough so you could see, especially when tall people are sitting in front of you, and there were no large concert screens to see the performers, which wouldve been nice for those sitting in the very back. We saw Neil Young here, and the acoustics were great!

Superlative, futuristic venue for all genres of music. Great sightlines from any vantage point within the amphitheater, state-of-the-art sound & lighting systems, acoustics are phenomenal for both artist and audience. Photos here from Sept 22-23 2023, artist was Classic Albums Live, CCR Chronicles Sept 22 & Led Zeppelin 2 Sept 23.

Rady Shell is an awesome venue RIGHT on the San Diego Harbor. Bring a sweater or jacket even on the warmest days, because the area gets chilly at night. The food and drink options were excellent and as you would expect pricy, like any big venue. The acoustics are great, the lighting was awesome. Enjoy!

I cant go a full 5 stars because the seating is tight. Not much room even in the good seats. That said, unreal acoustics and absolutely gorgeous. Not to tough to get a drink, but could use another bathroom or two.

This review is solely based off my experience at a standing only event, I went to a concert that was standing only, my friends and I got lucky and stood right by the sound crew we had plenty of space, and people seemed to respect your space. That was until the main headliner started to perform people kept coming in and squeezing in forcefully to get a better view, it became uncomfortable becuase it felt like very tight. But the venue is gorgeous I might go back and see a sitting event. Other than that everything was cool the bathrooms were a lil far and the drinks were very expensive as one would assume lol
