Biamp Portland Jazz Festival presented by PDX Jazz: Erykah Badu

Visited Moda Center in Portland, Oregon to see Stevie Nicks in concert on October 1st, 2025 with my daughter and her best friend. It's an amazing place! Got the prepaid parking online for the Garden Garage which is attached to Moda Center. Had to go down to the 1st level of parking garage in the elevator and ask where we entered the Main gates, which was the North Entrance and had to go outside to get in line to enter. ADA admitted folks and premier booths get to stay inside and enter without going outside on the P3 level for ADA and P2 level for premier booths. It wasn't a long wait to get in, (glad it wasn't raining!) you can bring a small, foldable personal umbrella with you if needed but have to have your bags searched and go through the metal detectors! We only waited about 15 minutes. Once, inside, there's different floor levels with different kinds of food and beverages, merchandise for the concert, also public restrooms and water fountains. Got our food and drinks and found our seats by asking directions of the staff near the section entrances. Section C317, Row H, Seats 1, 2 & 3 were way high up, but had a pretty good view of the stage! Only thing is they need is a few more cup holders for drinks ,(had 3 seats together but only 2 cup holders on the arm rests in our area), and a flip down shelf in front of you on the back of the seats to put food on! We just used our laps! You can put your bag, food, drinks, under your seat or just hold them. Had a great time there seeing our all time favorite, Stevie Nicks! Just be patient with the traffic, as it's incredibly busy for everyone to get home safe!

Great concert venue. Parking garage pass can sell out so best to get one when to buy your event ticket. Section 200 is better for viewing shows than is section 100.

Great place to watch a concert. Basketball game a few years ago was pretty sweet too. Bring back the Sonics. I really don't like the opening the bottle and taking the lid though when buying at a stand. The soda bottles barley fit in the cup holders and the tiniest bump can equal disaster! You've been warned!!!

I love going to the Moda Center for concerts and blazers games. They have all sorts of concession stands with different foods and drinks you can purchase. They have lots of photo opportunities in the hall, and they also have a spot where you can get painted tattoos for free. Also, there are a few kids basketball games that are free to play. I have been to a lot of concerts. All of them are different in how they set up, but this venue is big. They also have the ability to move the stage up to half the size if it is a smaller event. I will definitely be coming back and recommending to others.

This event center was really cool. Super clean and designed very well. It is one big circle so you don’t have to end up going to wrong was just to hit a wall and walk all the way back you came. Prices were naturally crazy for food and drinks. The seats were very nice and comfortable.
