This is open to the public for free when there is not a show. So even if you don't happen to score tickets to a concert. You must visit this place. Many folks go here to "run the stairs" for an amazingly challenging workout. There is also some nice hiking trails around. Or just go to see if you can listen in to a sound check and/or take in the view.
