Dead center... absolute worst seats are in the front. This is true even for symphony, theater and (especially) opera performances.
At the Drafthouse Lake Creek, you get punished for it, too. LOUD *** bright centers directly in your ear. I saw The Dark Knight there. I thought I was going to need ear surgery. It was loud, high pitched and painful.
I'll definitely take the center seats. (J. Garcia, I remember many times waiting in line at the Mercado and the Shoreline amphitheater as well as that complex in Union City only to have to sit on the sides or in the back and cuss because everything was off axis.)
