Mediaman Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Hello all, I'm planning a trip for my daughter (14) and I to see a concert and a Bills game this September. The concert is at the Armory and was wondering if anyone has been there before and what I can expect. The band is Panic at the Disco so I'm not expecting it to be too wild. I'm an avid concert goer here in NYC but I want to make sure there are no issues. How is the parking situation by the venue? I read their website info about parking but it wasn't too detailed. Based on the google streetview and satellite images I can't say I'm confident I will find a spot too close by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) that line made me laugh, not taking into account the music style, simply the name of the band...(they are a pretty decent band btw) Hello all, I'm planning a trip for my daughter (14) and I to see a concert and a Bills game this September.

I think you're best served looking for street parking on Railroad Street since the nearby lots are near impossible to get out of after any show. Main St. will be a total cluster f@#$ so, Railroad is good since you can loop around to Goodman and avoid passing Main @ the Armory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I saw Devo and Gentle Giant there in 1979. (Two shows. Not the same bill.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostbitmic Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 There should be plenty of parking at the church next door to the armory, at least there was when I was there a couple years ago unless there's something happening at the Auditorium theater across the street that night. There isn't a lot of seating there so expect to stand most of the night. It also gets very loud in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 that line made me laugh, not taking into account the music style, simply the name of the band...(they are a pretty decent band btw) Billy Joel's crowd is rowdier than Panic at the Discos. Cool band though somewhat enjoyed first 2 albums. Not sure what happened after that. I liked 2nd album most trashed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
