Orwellian Wiress Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 This makes me want to see DCI in unorthodox stadiums. Baseball field, golf green, or hell, even an ice hockey arena 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CMA "entertainer of the year" is definitely a bigger draw in Atlanta than DCI could ever hope to be. With these two concurrent events in close proximity, parking and traffic will be a nightmare.  My stereotype of the average country music fan attending this concert has them traveling in some big ### "carnival truck" needing parking, not coming via MARTA. Dude's last name is a hair utensil... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago many corps in the Boston area started the season in a hockey rink…Drumfest.  Usually in early May? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Told my wife we were moving to Canada.  I love the South, but not in the middle of summer. (Maybe I can talk her into a pool.) You wouldn't want to live in Canada in the winter, that's for sure. I live in Canada and in my neck of the woods temperatures get down below -40. That Polar Vortex that hit Texas a couple years ago past through here first and temps bottomed out at -43! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom56 Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 If Mercedes Benz is not available, DCI should move that regional to Ceasars Superdome in New Orleans. Who wouldn't want to go to New Orleans for a weekend? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me it is not pleasant marching backwards or even forwards at lightning speeds over a baseball mound or plywood thrown down to cover other issues... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
