Somewhat unrelated: White River State Park is my new favorite venue.

Much smaller venue, but we saw Revivalists two summers ago

at the Garfield park Amphitheater.

Was supposed to see Toad the Wet Sprocket there this summer but the show was rained out.

Nice small intimate venue.
Depends on the band, and the weather.

I agree with you about BL. I like White River a lot, but a lot of bigger bands can only do Ruoff/Verizon/Klipsch/Deer Creek or Banker's Life. Fortunately, most of the bigger acts I like tour Indy in outdoor concert season, so I can avoid BL.

If the band can fit into White River, that's great. I've seen CSN, Tedeschi Trucks, Wilco, and one or two others there. Fantastic and laid back.

The only indoor venue I like is the Murat. The seats are terrible, but the sound is 1000 times better than BL. I've seen some great stuff there.
