Onondaga County officials are trying to prepare concertgoers and motorists for Friday’s sold out Morgan Wallen concertat the St. Joseph's Health Amphitheater at Lakeview.

For this concert, no outside lawn chairs or inflatable seating units will be permitted, though chair rentals are available for a discount. Only clear plastic bags or small clutch bags are allowed inside the venue, and all bags will be searched. Officials also remind fans that the venue is cashless, and only major credit or debit cards and mobile payment options are accepted.

Those traveling on I-690 and the roads surrounding the amphitheater Friday evening can expect very heavy traffic. Concertgoers are encouraged to use free parking at the OnCenter and take the shuttle.
