Questions about the December outdoor concert series:

At Polo field.
Did anyone go last year? Impressions?
I know that they say NO personnel beverage or coolers. What is the reality?
Am I able to get a bottle of wine in?
How early to arrive?
Is golf cart seating acceptable / not worth it?
Open Air Concert Series – The Villages Entertainment – 365 Days of FREE Entertainment

I'm also interested in this. Is the stage elevated enough to where you can actually see the performance from the golf cart section or is this basically a large tailgate party with music in the background?

We went to 2 concerts at the Polo Grounds last year. One was the Eagles tribute, where we paid the second highest price and were WAY back and really couldn't see the band at all; we were forced to watch on the jumbo screen. The music was good. The weather was not the best - very cold with some wind. We kept one side of our cart sides down for the wind and used our portable heater. The second concert was the Jersey Boys, same price, much better location (but it was apparently less than a sellout). Again, good music and the weather was better. They never checked coolers that I saw, so it shouldn't be a big problem to smuggle in a bottle of wine. Put it in your locked glove box (do they still call them that?), if you have one. And even if they caught your crime, what can they do? Take away your birthday?
