Yes. Theatre in the park events.

Very similar, and an acceptable if lesser experience.

Being truly outside is misleading and i reject it though. For the last 10 years i rarely spent time in a car while at the drivein. I upgraded from blanket to camping chairs to baggy mcbags to a portable hammock

All set up under the stars. Really cant say enough good things about hammocks.

That all being said ive been single since i was 29 so your results might vary.

But i digress. I was truly outside anytime ive wanted to be for a long time. At the theatre that just closed was a grassy area between the front row and the screen. It was by far the best spot in the whole place to be outside laying on your back without any cars infront of you just the people next to you to disturb you, and if you avoided weekends and able to go on school nights you rarely even had that.

The other good thing about it is you can bring your crying baby or your pets and if there is a problem you have your nice safe car to take care of them or at least prevent them from disturbing others. If you are a respectful.person which in my experience most people have been

Edit: for clarity i do not have pets or children so those things are observations that were appreciated by me
