drumcorps74 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 If there had been a lot of rain it's odd that the grass field just outside the stadium was not muddy, nor were there many puddles in the street. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadevilina Crown Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) For those suggesting that there should be no more shows on natural grass fields, what about all the shows in California that are on natural grass? Or the numerous Open Class and early-season World Class shows that occur on natural grass because of the show sponsor? I’m not necessarily saying these shows should not be on natural grass, but there are reasons why they are there in the first place.

No chance to get parking close to the stadium... those areas are full with season ticket holders and so forth. Wait. Did you just admit that you go to Rutgers football games? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drumcorps74 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 And why weren't the scores posted of the corps that did get to perform field shows? There have been many occasions in the past where later portions of shows get rained out or changed to standstill performances, but the scores of the corps that had already performed had scores posted, i.e., the Annapolis show the night before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grew up 15-20 minutes from the main Rutgers campuses... started college there... RU fan for life as a result. Doomed to years of misery. LOL.

STATEMENT ABOUT THE TOC Due to unforeseen circumstances "Boston refused to move their props because they said they couldn't get a good enough grip to move their props around the field...." at this evening's DCI Tour of Champions event at Talen Energy Stadium in Chester, Pa. EVENT CANCELLED We understand that this was a disappointment to the many fans especially the Cavilers fans who seemed to be especially bummed that their "in the club house score" of 92.7 sadly is not a officially valid score. Additionally we are awaiting the email from DCI that will give us the stats on turf vs natural grass venue's. Once received we will distribute to all the DCP forum members for their enjoyment. We really really appreciate the forum member who "overheard a yea staffer, evidenced by his shirt and name tag, telling some folks" this valuable inside information. Due to climate change that is causing earth to have thunderstorms in the summer we will reserve the right to possibly cancel other venue's. Side note we are awaiting an email from DCI to give DCP members the data on shows that are rained out due to climate change rain.
