The Scene – Billed as the largest country-music dance club and concert hall in the country, this massive Duluth complex is a weekend hot spot. It has an upscale vibe, with only spotted-cow carpet alluding to its country theme. A multilevel bar overlooks the 5,000-square-foot solid oak dance floor, where country-music fans vie for stomping space. Dancers, ages 18 to 88, sport loafers and cowboy boots, baseball caps and 10-gallon hats. Four full-service bars and beer pit stops keep whistles wet. The sprawling stage, home to house band "Bill Gentry and the 35 Cent Rodeo," showcases big-name…

Worst Concert Venue Ever!!!!!
by mwattack77x at Citysearch
I've been going to concerts for years. Recently, I found out Black Label Society, Sevendust, and Dope are playing there. This was the 1st time I've been there, and it'll be my last. When my girlfriend and I get there, there was a mile long line that wrapped around the building and into the parking lot. We waited in line for an hour!!! When we finally got to the entrance, we were told we were in the wrong line because we had willcall tickets, so we waited in line for another 30 minutes. When we finally get to the door again with our tickets, we had the joy of meeting the security. He tells me to go to the right so I start walking to the right. The @$$hole of a bouncer grabs my arm and yanks me backwards and scolds me!!!!!! Apparently, I was going the wrong way even though he told me to walk that way. The reason the line was so long was because they had to pat everyone down to make sure they wern't bringing in weapons, but there was only one guy and one girl doing it for everybody! So, we finally get in and I've missed half the concert. Sevendust was playing and it sounded awful. This isn't the bands fault. The acoustics are so bad in there, it's a joke. The speakers we just blaring white noise. It just ruined the whole show. The staff inside couldn't have been less friendly either. If this is how they treat all of thier customers, then I hope that dump goes out of buisness. DO NOT GO TO WILD BILLS!!

Don't waste your time!!!

If you go any night when there is nothing special happening it's like going to a ghost town even on friday and saturday when everything else it hoping. When they have it scheduled for a good band to come they give out free tickets to everyone just in case they don't sell enough through the ticket master. Me and 6 friends drove an hour to go to the Gretchen Wilson concert this weekend there and waited an hour in line in 35 degree weather only to find out that they were not letting anyone in that had these so called free tickets that were given to us. Why give out free tickets if your not going to honor them. I hope this place sinks to a bottomless pit along with the money hungry owners. Don't even waste your time at this place.

This place is over the hill!

Wow, this place seemed pretty happening when it first opened; however, it is now a steaming pile of squeeze... except it is not even hot enough to be steaming. Perhaps to describe it as a pile of frozen feces in Antarctica from a frozen 6,000 year old wooly mammoth would be more precise?, No, actually that would be too significant! How about a frozen uncontrolled death dump from a miniature flea that was the runt of the litter. While I have no genealogical proof, I feel that while this place does have some really nice people working in some areas, there are some unbelievably inbred morons working this place: mostly in security. And by inbred, I mean about 4 generations of continuous and unabashed inbreeding. It is a wonder they can walk or speak any form of language: even a grunt is scientifically miraculous. Bill's should host a live casting call for Jerry Springer, and then correctly "brag" that about four to five of their staff were shoe-ins for the season finale and the "Most Outrageous Inbreds Ever" award. You actually have to interact with these morons each time you enter the club. You will want to leave and not come back at some point, and you will be shocked that any business can survive for more than a week when they treat customers like garbage. This is a customer nightmare; believe me! You may want to carry a cyanide pill with you if you decide to go on a really slow night (a.k.a.-- most any night they are open) so that you will at least have some kind of escape if you are accosted by any of these freakin' idiots that work in the place. This is NOT to say that everyone there is retarded or stupid (no offense to people who are actually technically retarded or mentally impaired as I feel for those people); however, the ones that are definitely retarded by the incessant inbreeding make the place unbearable. Who hires these people and allows them to interact with the customers that are trying to give money to Wild Bill's?!!!
- Pros: This place is horrible!
- Cons: This place is not hell, but it is close!
