Good luck, been there done that as a younger person. I've had enough nightclubs, bands and booze to last a lifetime. I have 2 pennies that would bet some of those drinkers probably shouldn't be drinking.

There is no rule that says you have to have alcohol

[asianthree]

Didn't read the rules that alcoholic beverages were mandatory....

Is that the case at all the music venues in TV. Cause guessing those with a chip in their pocket can and will enjoy a night out no matter what soda is in their glass

AFA the "acoustics" go, it's an outside venue. The acoustics aren't the problem. Its whomever is running the sound board. Give it a minute. They'll figure it out...

You never know how it will sound until you get there, with a crowd of people...

Totally agree. Equipment is fine. Mixers aren’t all equal.

The information was all in The Villages Sun on Thursday

We went with a group of friends to check out the grand opening. The band Penta was playing, and they are very good...in spite of the challenges with the sound "engineers." The crowd was large, as anticipated.

They had done sound checks a couple of days prior to the opening, but in fairness, it is not the same as when you have a capacity crowd. I'm sure some tweaks will be made, and everything will work out in time.

I'm glad Sawgrass is finally open. It's a fun venue, and everyone there was having a good time. Isn't that what it's all about?

It was on their website yesterday morning:

Front Page - The Villages Entertainment

Is there a web cam at Sawgrass like at the three squares? If so does anyone know the link?

A lot of people don’t get the Sun and use the app instead. I just went to the app and clicked on calendar for activities and I could not find anything relating to entertainment at Sawgrass.

They should put it in the Sun and the app.

So sad! Alcohol is not a mandate for having fun and enjoying musical entertainment with friends. Try it sometime, you may find it works for you!

We went and had a great time. And we didn’t drink! SMH. It was packed! The tables and lounge chairs make it a cute place but they are not practical for the crowd this place will draw. They waste a lot of space so people were trying to get their chairs to fit in odd places. The walkways were packed with people and chairs. The chair police from the other squares would have been busy. The dance area was fairly small because of the people putting their chairs up there. They need a different solution for this place. Penta was great!

Funny that drinkers get so offended by non drinkers. Touching a sensitive spot no doubt.

I read the comments. No one was offended. Just questioning why someone would avoid a place because they serve drinks with the food and entertainment.
