But what I am saying without any equivocation is that the overwhelming energy, excitement, atmosphere electric, twilight and evening sky with stadium lights screaming against the dark sky and the rising stars which is produced at, for example, a sold-out Highland Springs local show in Texas let alone the 2008 Finals at the U of I is not, has not, and never will be at that type of electric level in The Can. That is.... unless the DCI fans eventually fill the can in the same manner as football fans do at indoor Super Bowls or U2 fans do at indoor pro stadiums; then DCI Finals in The Can will likely 'feel' like the DCI Finals at venues like U of I stadium in 2008! The only way to ever fill the Oil Can on Finals night is to have YOU and BRASSO wrestle naked at mid-field. With the audience given ripe tomatoes on the way in! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The image thought of any of us here naked is enough to give DCP'ers a cerebellum crack of the worst magnitude. So as a public service Fred, perish these cringe worthy imaginary thoughts of yours, ok ? ( lol!) Edited August 7, 2017 by BRASSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as in 15 you had the scenario with BD and Crown, 11 with Cadets and BD, 13 Crown going for their first and it being tight, and then again last year, it created hot crowds. It can ###### loud in there. While i prefer an outdoor venue personally, Lucas oil doesn't kill the vibe as you claim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually went to finals this year and it was AMAZING. Not to mention we were in front of the Bluecoats durring their Boxer horn hit (my hearing has never been the same ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as a public service Fred, perish these cringe worthy imaginary thoughts of yours, ok ? ( lol!) Contrary to the post by Brasso if: 1) We were indeed guaranteed a complete 100% full 360* sell-out of Lucas; 2) DCI agreed to split all of the proceeds from the endzone seats all they way around the back side equally amongst just the corps in all divisions that can open their books and prove they are running at or under budget and ending the season in the financial black; 3) I would be willing to frighten the world into nauseating convulsions by taking you up on this offer. Because I desire to help corps being ran in a responsible manner any way I can fiesably do so, and I love the activity that much. (However, you can thank God now that you will never have to see me in such a situation). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, God has to have a wicked since of humor... want proof...the Divine created us humans!!! So, who am I to fight against that!!! Anyway, we will eventually meet here there or somewhere over on the other side. Oh, and thanks for the compliment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
