Ovens is definitely the red-headed stepchild in the Blumenthal's portfolio.\n\nAs has been mentioned (more than once), it's like a high school auditorium. To cement that fact, the place actually holds high school graduations at least a couple of times a year, so it isn't like they are going to get out from under that stigma any time soon.\n\nTo make matters worse, the location is not the greatest. Nestled along Independence, where you have to risk your life just to get near Ovens, then you you have to hope you are in the correct lane or you better just give up, because no one is going to let you cross over to exit at the right time. Then you pay to park in a surface lot and hoof it over to the entry.\n\nOnce inside, the seats are reasonably comfortable for a high school facility, and the acoustics are decent, but do expect grandiosity here - it's about as spartan as you can get.\n\nThe good news is you don't have to fight Uptown traffic to get there.
