Nationwide Arena - Weezer help!! 🎸

Need some advice from Columbus locals and concert-goers! 🤘

I’m planning to bring my dad (77) and my son (14) to see Weezer at Nationwide Arena on October 6. It’ll be our first big arena concert together, and we’re driving in from Buffalo, NY.

I’m trying to decide between:

• Club 2 (Rows A or B)
• Section 102
• Section 103
• Section 114

For those familiar with Nationwide Arena, which would you choose and why?

A few things about us:

• My dad is 77 but still very active and gets around well.
• My son is 14 and this will be his first major “rock” concert. (I’m thankful he has good taste so far! 🤣)
• I’m willing to spend more if the experience is noticeably better.
• I’m looking for the best overall experience, not necessarily the cheapest seats.
• I’d also love advice on parking.
Best parking lots/garages for concerts?
Is there valet parking?
Are there any lots you’d specifically recommend for someone in their late 70s?
How is the handicapped parking situation if we decide to use it?
Any tips for getting in and out of the arena area after a concert?

If you’ve sat in any of these sections, photos and personal experiences would be incredibly helpful.

Heck! I’d be grateful if you could also give me tips on area hotels? Restaurants? And any other activities in the area? I’m thinking the science museum? It has excellent reviews! 🤗

Thanks Reddit & people of Columbus! 😉 I’m excited to bring my son to Columbus for the first time!
