Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion Seat Views

  • Pavilion 1 Seating

    Behind the Pit section is the Pavilion 1 seating area. Like the rest of the Pavilion, these seats are fully covered and offer good sitelines to the stage.

    Among the few complaints about these seats is that you can end up too close to the stage on the edges of Sections 1A and 1C. Despite being close to the stage, they might have the worst angle to the stage among all reserved seating. Second, the slope of these seats is not great so you'll have to look up to see the stage and may have trouble seeing over taller patrons in front of you.

    For most concerts the first row in these sections is directly behind the Pit and is labeled 8. Occasionally the Pit will be removed and these sections will extend all the way to the stage.

  • Pavilion 2 Seating

    The side sections (2A and 2C) in Pavilion 2 do not have the same issues with bad angles as the seats in sections 1A and 1C. They're pushed back far enough from the stage to get the good angle and sitelines that the Pavilion is known for.

    Meanwhile, Section 2B is amongst the best non-club sections. Its location offers a head-on view and a little more elevation than Section 1B.

  • Pavilion 3 Seating

    When the Pavilion underwent its renovations for the 2013 season, it was important to provide a good siteline for every seat in the venue. According to most fans, this promise was upheld.

    Unlike most outdoor venues where the seats flare away from the stage as you get farther away, the farthest seats in the side sections of Pavilion 3 still have an almost head-on view of the stage. Most fans seem to appreciate the comfort of that setup and don't mind being relatively far away from the stage.

    As with other Pavilion sections, all seats in this area are covered by the roof.

    The Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion (originally known as Meadowbrook Farm) is an outdoor amphitheatre located near Lake Winnipesaukee in Gilford, New Hampshire, United States. Opening in 1996, the venue seats nearly 9,000 guests.[1] It seats 5,997 under a covered pavilion, 540 reserved lawn seats and 2,850 general admission lawn seats.

    History[edit]

    The land was originally owned by the Miller family, which used the property for summer vacations, weekend excursions, and general family entertainment. By the early 1900s, cottages began to pop up on the property. The family continued to use the land to hold family concerts and gatherings for many years ahead. While ownership of the land where the venue is located changed hands, the Miller family today still owns property next to the pavilion.

    In early 1996, Meadowbrook was created as a summer concert venue. Originally known as "Meadowbrook Farm", the venue consisted of a temporary stage, 2,500 portable seats and a lawn that held 2,000 people. The venue was renamed five years later to the "Meadowbrook Musical Arts Center", to better reflect the growing direction of the farm. A permanent stage soon replaced the temporary one. In 2002, the venue began its most major renovation to date. A pavilion roof was installed, along with 3,097 reserved seats (with capabilities to remove seats if necessary for general admission shows), 540 reserved lawn seats, and 2,850 general admission lawn seats.

    In 2005, Meadowbrook added its Second Stage, a tented area with a full-service bar where local bands play for concertgoers prior to and following the actual concert. In 2007, U.S. Cellular signed a naming agreement with the venue, which became the "Meadowbrook U.S. Cellular Pavilion". Also in 2007, Meadowbrook was nominated for Venue of the Year by the Academy of Country Music. In 2013, Meadowbrook began an expansion that added nearly 3,000 covered seats, two new parking lots and a second road into the venue. The amphitheater was also renamed "Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion" in April 2013.

    Sugarland currently holds the venue's attendance record.[2] Their September 5, 2010 performance there - with Ellis Paul opening - was the second time in two years that a Sugarland show was a sell-out.[2]

    In 2021, the Pavilion made national news when the Gilford Police Department issued an arrest warrant for artist Marilyn Manson in response to an incident in which Manson allegedly spit on a videographer while performing at the Pavilion in 2019.[3]
