Its not bad.(unlike the 70’s) Just don’t be wandering around drunk after the show…or your night out will cost a little more. It is across\up from the 69th St. Terminal. It is a shopping district with some ‘interesting’ stores. There is free parking in a multi-level garage 1 block up.(for those who arrive early)

No place to sit outside and down beers…but “The Waterford”, across from the main entrance, has a bar and limited restaurant seating. For God’s sake…eat and drink before you enter the theater… the food is true “movie” theater fare… and beers are $7.25+ served in Dixie cups. “Smoking” in seating areas is discouraged…but allowed in Lobby.

Visit ‘http://www.ticketmaster.com’ to view your event and Tower seating chart. Orchestra (lower level) seats are great (first ¾’s)… Lodge (upper level) ok & Balcony is a tight fit.(no long legs). It is still warm(after all these years), so light clothing/layers are more comfortable. Hint: 63rd & Market St. intersection was closed (9pm-5:30am M-F) the last time I was there(work zone?)… just follow the traffic after the show… if still in effect.

A special thanks to G. Quirk for his (D. Leyden) History posting.

Hi. I haven’t been to the Tower since the “Balcony” shop was up the street…miss the ole' place…but going back soon.

I remember the seat-row letting…but does someone know the seat numbering scheme (begin/end #’s – stage left –> right – odd/even)

Please include the Orchestra (L, LC, RC, R) and the Lodge (L, LC, C, RC, R) seat numbering…if you can remember…

Thanks for any help…and thanks to RobertR for Tower pictures link …brings back memories …including the drunks and smashed car windows…
