Constructor's Note
Medium-difficulty 15x15 themed puzzle. I was surprised at how quickly the grid filled even if there's a bit of glue in the SE area. Feedback always welcome.

      wow, someone who remembers shea stadium the indie venue! thank you for the puzzle!
      • Aaron constructor · 2021-11-27T14:16:33.619Z
        Thanks! From living in NYC the early/mid-2010s I always think of the rock club before the actual stadium. I was glad for the opportunity to memorialize this venue even if it's not notable enough for, say, a NYT puzzle.

            Really fun puzzle. If you could have snuck SNARE in there you would have had a complete KIT

              Thanks for solving! Believe me I tried but the theme density began to constrain the fill.
