Hook'emCavies Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Why not have two shows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terri Schehr Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 So is the show not going to be at Vanderbilt next year? Which is ok by me since hotels in that area are insanely expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look like Knoxville will now host a yearly open class show, but only around 1,500 attended this year (admittedly, it was the first show at that school, and the director is a huge drum corps fan, so one can expect it to grow in future). But the danger of having events too close to each other is that will jeopardize DCI's ability to boast about record-breaking attendance at regionals. The same would be true if a single venue had two different shows in the same season. Gotta keep their options limited if you want to keep shaking all the nickels and dimes out of their trousers.

My guess is the MLS would look to play here beginning in 2019. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much nicer, and maybe 30 minutes from vandy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRapp Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 The max seating at the new stadium will likely be around 35,000 for football. As such, it actually might be too small for this show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
