Better sound mix1210348341
To whom it may concern: Please, PLEASE look into getting a better sound mixer for your Nightfall concert series this year. The local bands have to suffer with your local sound mixer and it sounds AWFUL!!! Please pay attention and see for yourselves. We NEED A NEW SOUND MIXER!!!!!!!!

Thank you for being dog friendly1209732756
You are to be commended for allowing us to bring our four legged family members to Nightfall. You are one of the few venues in Chattanooga that allows dogs, and it is so enjoyable to have them in the crowd. Thank you!
