Recently turned 18 and am looking to hear peoples experiences from concerts at Echostage. Most of the big EDM artists go to Echostage when they visit DC; either that or the occasional show at Jiffy Lube Live.
What was the experience like? Whats the surrounding area like? Any major complaints? Any major advantages? Should I just settle for Avicii at Jiffy Lube in April, or should I go see the artists I want? (Nothing against Avicii, love his stuff, just really like Showtek and some other artists that go there).

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Thanks for all of the replies guys! Keep them coming even if you're late to the post ;P I was confident the place was good being Top 40 in the world and all, but just wanted some personal stories and reviews. Most of you confirmed my original thoughts, hope to see you all at a show soon!
