Gary Matczak Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I have just taken a look at the stadium website,............looks FANTASTIC! Has this place ever been looked at for finals weekend?............yeah. it's a soccer stadium, but the facility and surroundings seem to be ideal. I know there have been DCI shows at this place in the past,.....has there ever been a DCA show here before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 they have run a DCI show there. it is natural turf, which given our periodic weather issues on finals weekend could be ugly. It is cool that the casino is right there, but right next door is Chester PA....not a neighborhood I'm game to venture into during the daylight hours. DCA would have to do some ###### good negotiating to get hotel prices even down to what was charged in Annapolis, which I know from complaints on here was more than Rochester.

Gary Matczak Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Crime in Chester is off the charts,...........yikes! I know the stadium in Rochester is in the middle of a tough area, I am not familiar with the lay of the land in Chester,............... Casino next door is cool,............I am kinda neutral on that as a feature. 5 year old 18,500 seat stadium with the best natural turf fields you can get, drainage system is high tech! tons of parking. Hundreds of hotels at $100 per night nearby,.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoSurfBass Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Best grass field I ever marched on High crime in the surrounding area but the stadium is rather isolated from that The acoustics are GORGEOUS! All in all, one of my favorites stadiums to perform in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Matczak Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Casino with thoroughbred racing onsite is about 2 miles up the river,..........looks kinda dicey between there and the stadium,..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Chester PA rivals Camden, NJ with crime. But the NCAA uses that stadium quite a bit so that might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Matczak Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Looks like this will be a YEA! sponsored DCI/DCA event featuring: DCI Corps - The Cadets. Crown, Bluecoats, Boston Crusaders and Spirit of Atlanta DCA Corps - Cadets2, Bushwackers, Fusion Core, Carolina Gold and the Windsor Regiment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Ream Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Chester is probably worse than Camden. yeah i'm thinking so. I guess the key is can we get the main tenants to vacate 2 years in a row? rehearsal for corps too. many schools are in session Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
