Hawkers are "get your peanuts here!" guys that walk through the stands. They don't accept cash. I'm sure that corps will be happy to take whatever you want to give.

Take MARTA. Train exit is right by the stadium.
I'll edit my post to say there are lots of FREE parking lots at MARTA train stops outside of downtown that will eliminate a lot of stress. Easiest MARTA stop to exit is the "Stadium (Dome) / GWCC / State Farm Arena (Philips Arena) / CNN Center" station.... yes that's 1 station name. You can also exit at Vine City station but this is not as direct access to the pedestrian areas as the other station. Both of these stations are on the Blue / Green train lines and trains run every 20 mins on the weekend.

It being relatively easy to predict a final placement/score at the beginning of the season is a dumb aspect of DCI. Year after year.

Feel free to be helpful. I heard they finally fixed a problem with the operation of the roof this week.
Not trying to be unhelpful. I believe there's been 50ish events in the stadium over the past year.

The stadium is cavernous, and it sounds it. They've made no effort to reduce the reverb.
I heard that the stadium only opened this week. Is this the first major event to take place there?you heard very wrong

I assume you are correct.
The turnstiles/scanners are automated and your tickets will not scan more than once. I would not bet on being able to leave.
There is an outside fenced in area where you can get fresh air or whatever without exiting the turnstiles.

$45 (including TM fees) for the cheapest seats in the stadium. sheesh.

In my non-law-school-educated opinion, this is a huge overreaction.

The fur will fly when penalties are enforced.
The obvious objection for corps "A" is that corps "B" got in their way and they couldn't set up in time. How come corps "B" didn't get a penalty?
There will be plenty of finger pointing and accusations of "gaming" the system to force penaties on others. The real action will be in the parking lot where a truck may be slow clearing out of the way or some other creative activity.
If DCI decides to look the other way with regard to schedule enforcement, the corps will continue to push the boundaries. Mark my words, the gap between performances will increase "In the interest of artistic expression".
OP have you ever seen this happen? I've never heard of corps rotating in the parking lots. I've never seen once where anyone on DCP complained that there was no parking at a venue.
You cite the Cavaliers who have typically had one of the largest rolling fleets in the activity. I doubt that very many, if any, other corps have the number of vehicles they do.
There ARE timing penalties and they ARE enforced. If my memory is correct it's 17 or 18 minutes per corps (ie. 5ish minutes setup). Corps have a gate time and a show time. They're required to meet both.
Do you honestly believe the nonsense you are insinuating? That a corps would actively move their semis during a show to block another corps?
As I type this I'm starting to think you're not even being serious. When was the last time you went to a show?

I'm almost certain that there are still timing penalties in place.
And this statement... "all the trucks for props." Do you really believe this? Back up off the edge of the cliff for a moment.

I do believe that was the worst version of the National Anthem I have ever heard.

omg... what the heck is that?

link is posted.
Speaking of setups, I recently discovered how to get FN (including live streams) to the big screen through the PS3. As someone without a laptop, this was a major breakthrough.

Ok. Just reminiscing about how easily you could do this on DCP at the inception of Fan Network.
Anyway, I don't think that works anymore. I'm almost certain you need to be logged in to dci.thefannetwork.org to access the stream. Regardless if you have a "direct link".
Edit: Also, it hasn't been posted yet to the Fan Network.

Anyone have the direct link to the webcast?
LOL didn't this end like 4 or 5 years ago?

Because until last year SOA hadnt made finals since 2007. 2004 for Crossmen.
I was talking about the last few years. Sorry.
Good to know that "traditional" goes as far back as 2007.

If you're going to make a show discussion thread 6 days in advance of the show, at least put the show date on the post.

I've been a subscriber of Fan Network since its origination (well I may have used DCP links for the first year or so (shhh!)). Anyway, The quality of the videos both this year and last is awesome. They are doing a great job.
The one issue I wish could be addressed is streaming to iDevices. I connect the iPhone to my tv and watch the VOD replays on the big screen. I wish I had that option with the live streaming.

Went to an ensemble rehearsal near my house last night. It's very weird when there's a rep done "air only" but you hear the hornline and the stands are shaking from the base.... then you realize it from the keyboard player.
