Bethel Woods venue...bunches of questions

[justdreamin]

I have a bunch of questions about this venue.
Has anyone been to a show there recently and if so can you tell me if they are strict about SLR cameras? On the official web page it says no interchangable lens cameras, but I don't know if they are strict about it. Also it says no recording devices....again, do they really check you out??
These probably sound really stupid, but all my concert experiences have been in the west and I've never had a problem with security either recording or photographing as long as I didn't use a flash and it wasn't super obvious.
One more thing. Does anyone know how large the area in front of the stage is and if they allow you to be up there from the beginning of the concert to dance or just stand
I don't want to take a bunch of stuff with me that I won't be able to use, so any info, even stuff I didn't ask about, would be very much appreciated!!!! Thanks.
