After taking about 6 months off to focus on other things, I'm back and ready to start posting again. I'm starting with what was one of my all-time favorite stadiums to march at, Erie PA's Veterans Stadium. I'll also be posting more material from my Allentown trip and an earlier trip to Iowa and Nebraska this past summer in the coming weeks.

Just wanted to put in my 2cents worth

The stadium at Mankato state is one of the best for 2 reasons

1- No track, and no room for the DM podium. You are as close to a corps as possible.

2- One can stop at Patrick's in St.Peter and watch the drum corps channel.

..and the stadium at GAC is real nice as well, like a smaller DeKalb.

This week's update is in honor of the Glassmen. Presenting the Glass Bowl, one of the best venues I've had the pleasure of marching at:

Bravo, Matt! I too love that venue. There's something about that particular combo of intimacy and acoustics that make it a great place to perform or see a show.

Among my most recent memories of that venue were SCV's company front in 2009.... :worthy:

Back with another update- Harrisburg PA. I've got enough material ready now that I should be able to post on a weekly basis for most of the rest of the year.

Mods, feel free to close if this is deemed against DCP rules.

That said, I'm starting a blog to profile the various venues that host drum corps shows. My hope is to help fans considering attending a show to be better informed of what it would be like to go to that show. Essentially it's a preview of the "theater" that may help people better select seats, sections, etc, and also possibly help potential tour and event promoters successfully submit their bids for hosting future competitions.

The blog can be viewed at http://marchingarenas.blogspot.com/#!/. Right now I'm building it mainly with my own photos, but if you have pics of your own you'd like to share or want to suggest a stadium for me to profile, just send me a PM or email.

Happy marching!

That looks like a great site and sounds like a great idea!
