Your going to see Neil Diamond, not Marilynn Manson, I wouldn't expect any problems here. Besides, when you leave, there will be cops on every corner. Just go and have a good time, got any extra tickets?

My Wife and I go to a lot of concerts. The last time we went to a concert at the AT&T center was about two years ago. It was for an Aerosmith concert. We had to empty our pockets and put all contents into a basket, and then went through metal detection. There is more security there than you can shake a stick at. Both private and on duty LEOs are there, inside and out.
Since then, we have gone to several concerts at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre, and have found that security at the gate was not as strict. Our last concert was Tom Petty a couple of months ago and since we had Lawn tickets, we were carrying blankets, we did have to unfold the blankets, and they looked in my wifes purse, but there was no metal detectors that I could tell. I did not have to empty my pockets.
These Concerts are usually packed wall to wall with people. In the event one should have to use deadly force at such an event, the chances of hitting an innocent bystander is great.
