Jeffe77 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Look at the picture below of the stadium, appears that the seating design not conducive to any marching band show. Low seating with the luxury boxes (structure) going straight up. Only option would be to have the bands facing the other way with no boxes for judges, VIP, etc. Obviously built for sporting events in mind. Just a bummer IMHO that it may not be a fit for a drum corps show. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 easy fix. go away from the luxury boxes, and block out the sections in the next to highest level that surround the 50 and put the judges there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamarag Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 ...and somehow come up with the eleventy-billion dollars it would take to rent the facility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Reminds me somewhat of College Park from 2000 but with a lot of funky angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photographer Jim Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Noting that this photo was taken with an ultra-wide lens and shows a significant amount of distortion. The actual stadium is not that "wide" and the stands are steeper than this image might lead one to believe. It would be interesting to see how it would fare as a show venue and how it compares to Stanford.

NeutralNovice Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Not sure if I am correct or not, but I believe there are luxury boxes on the opposite side of that luxury box structure as you called it (not sure what else to call it). They appear to be above the 2nd tier of seats. Either way, waaaaay better than that rusty old Rose Bowl down south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCImonkey Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Watching the game yesterday, of course all I could think about was hosting a DCI Finals event. The only way for it to work would be having them face the opposite direction, which is not a big deal. Then I noticed the field. Looks like natural grass. Then I dropped the whole idea altogether. Grass stadiums handle 1 show well......3 shows in a row with EVERYBODY is sorta overkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it." 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
