CrownBariDad Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Also for tomorrow's Southeastern Regional: Email from DCI says NO PARKING at the stadium except for handicapped. Shuttle busses from 2 nearby churches. Parking $10/car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All cement, except the "premium" seating so you'll definitely want to bring a stadium seat or cushion. They went with a 20-inch seating area on the viewing side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the $67 seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Misread the question. I'm not sure, it didn't specify the difference in seats in the email response I received. Judging from pictures though, those look like concrete too, so maybe a slightly larger seating area? Not sure.

bvgordy Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) Premium Seating were metal benches. I did neglect to get a cushion but it wasn't that bad. The majority of the fans did not have cushions. I had great seats, right on the 50. It was a beautiful, breezy day and night of Drum Corps!!!

I hope this is just offseason chatter that isnt accurate. Does anyone have info one way or the other? It would be wonderful if the event could be at the new stadium, especially with the upward trend in attendance. Move it to Grant Field at nearby Georgia Tech or UGA in Athens. No reason to move it out of the Atlanta area and no reason to have a major DCI event like this at a high school stadium..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well neither did McEachern High School for that matter, they had to use shuttle buses from a remote church parking lot. There is plenty of parking around mid-town Atlanta that could be used with shuttle buses for a show at Georgia Tech Grant Field. They do host a few sold out football games there every year. McEachern is one of the most beautiful high school campuses with a huge endowment, but man they need to spend some money on improving stadium comfort. The concrete benches with no leg room in between rows is just awful. Fortunately I remembered my seat cushion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept poking the poor lady in front of me with my feet and got poked in turn from behind. And my seat cushion expired around INT time. I guess the folks at McEachern only expect folks to be there only a few hours for a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
