mingusmonk Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Yeah and that's one reason they haven't been opening the roof, besides the heat. Today's Indy storms are coming in on a front, but other storms do pop up in Indy in August with little or no warning. People say, gee we woulda gotten creamed without an indoor stadium in 2011, but if finals hadn't been in Indianapolis the midwest, they would have been fine. Indianapolis doesn't have an exclusivity deal on late summer pop-ups from hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrownBariDad Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I thought this thread was about the roof. Now, not only do they hate the roof, the city isn't faring much better either. Sheesh! I was mighty glad for a roof over my head tonight. Thunder, lightning, rain, and some hail--it wouldn't have been pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDevils92 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Tonight = the reason not to open the room during a championship event. Esp. one that lasts 3 days an could effect many corps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin I. Zing Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 it's never going to open. we're stuck with lousy sound for a musical activityfor finals til it moves, which probably won't happen. this is thebest thing for Allentown ticket sales ever I wouldn't worry about FINALS being staged indoors forever. I think we can assume work is underway somewhere to move them to the next great stadium being planned in MINNEAPOLIS. It will make LOS look and feel like wooden bleachers. The roof will open on command and the field will be drained and air-conditioning will crank on in a matter of seconds and curtains will drop from the sky. Count on it. It will all cost in excess of a BILLION dollars and it is going to be ready in 5 or 6 years in one of Drum Corps' favorite friendly cities. ---Minneapolis, Minnesota. Cleaner, safer, less expensive. . . . BETTER ALL AROUND. SEE YOU THERE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMcomguy Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 The roof's open! Yep! Go Colts! (saying that as a Bears fan living in Indianapolis...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamarag Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Interesting. The roof is open in Indy for the Colts game. And the field looks like absolute crap with all the funky shadows. That would have been terrible for afternoon corps at prelims and semis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
