Nikon SLR Cameras

Glee Concert 2011, I was just wondering how strict they are with cameras?

I'm going to the TD Garden in Boston and wasn't sure what to bring. I usually bring a simple point and shoot and have no problem. I'm able to take decent pictures and videos but this time I was trying to get non-blurry pictures. I was thinking of bringing my Nikon D3100. Do you think I could bring it? Would it be considered too professional and be confiscated? I wouldn't bring a big lens either just the one that came with it. Any thoughts or opinions would really help.

Oh, and if any one is familiar with the Garden I'm in the left center half way up. Do you think these are good seats and close enough to the stage for decent pictures?

I bought a Canon 30D with 24-105mm lens to a baseball game and they let me in.

From the garden's website (yeah, figure that, a major venue actually having information on their expensive website, that's the last place anyone would look!)

So… Better leave your nikon at home.
