Galen Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 ...the most important question...are there bars close to the stadium??? They don't call Bloomington "A drinking town with a basketball problem" for nothing! Some of the better ones are Nick's, Bluebird, Axis.

IMcomguy Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) From the DCI Press Release: “Since the planning process began more than two years ago, we’ve realized that the possibility existed that the new stadium might not be ready in time to accommodate our 2008 World Championships,” said Dan Acheson, Executive Director and CEO of Drum Corps International. “Unfortunately, as we found out this afternoon from a local news outlet, stadium construction officials have determined that the stadium will not be ready in time for our event this summer. We’re a bit frustrated that we were ‘scooped’ on learning of this development, as we had no direct knowledge prior to the announcement that a change of venue was imminent. The notification occurring in this manner was not what any of those directly involved with our World Championships events had intended.” Nice to see the city didn't even bother to tell DCI before this was made the top story on Channel 13. Beautiful job Indianapolis! Edited April 5, 2008 by IMcomguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful job Indianapolis! A nice heads up huh... Makes me wonder if the 10 yr thing is a total lock after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteInGA Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 For any of you that are to young to remember, Bloomington has hosted big DCI shows at Memorial Stadium (not finals of course but none the less). It is a GREAT place to watch shows and the sound is fabulous. It has tons of parking and isn't too difficult to get to. Sure it isn't downtown Indy and a new fancy stadium but it will be a great place for finals. I think everyone that is upset is going to be really surprised at what a good time they will have at Memorial Stadium and Bloomington. And if you don't have a room now in Bloomington...

EndzoneEric Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 It wouldn't have mattered, DCI.org is always about 2 or 3 days behind on "news". At least behind DCP. I'm sure Brian Hickman will be thrilled to see how nicely you bash DCI. Congratulations on representing the Glassmen, Kiwanis Kavaliers and Lake Erie Regiment so well!

EndzoneEric Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Seeing how it will go to Bloomington I hope Bill Cook shows up and has a big laugh at everything!!!! Mr. Cook is still a fan of drum corps and a good friend to DCI. He has way too much class to laugh at anything, including the ignorance of posts like the one referenced above.
