I had high hopes for the Marquee.  I hadn't had the chance to see a band there yet, tickets for My Morning Jacket were $30, not worth it for me.  But, when a friend wanted to celebrate is birthday there, I agreed to go.\n\nFirst, the parking lot has no signs to signal you in, it is hard to see because it looks like you are forced to go onto the Mill bridge but then make a right at the last second.  Parking is $5?  What?  I should have parked across the street.\n\nNow the tickets are not just the price you are quoted, they are marked up by a $3 service charge at the box office.  At the box office right in the theatre!  No ticketmaster, nothing.  Just raise the price of the ticket!\n\nNow,  they make you take everything out of your pockets and force you to be patted down.  Errr.  Then, if you want to drink they take a photo of your license for their computer.  Errr.  Was there a shooting here or something, because this is ridiculous.\n\nThe interior looks like it is meant for 4 H Fairs or Amateur Wrestling.  There is a concrete floor, poor paint, and nowhere to sit.  The drinks are way over priced ($7 a shot for Jager!!!  Robbery!).\n\nGive me $100K and I will turn this place into a venue worthy of its location and name, and make it a profitable venue.  Cheap carpet, sound baffles/curtains, high top tables, new paint in the lobby would make this a place worth seeing a show in. \n\nI will try to avoid the Marquee at all costs, its too bad there is no where else for midlevel bands to play here.
