Will pass by to the other stands. we buy lots of merch.. we're old guys ..fans attending and going to shows for over 40 years. I would probably spend my money elsewhere.... It’s what I saw. I don’t know if the fan he shoved said something to him (which is entirely possible) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quad Aces Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Got in line at 3:15 p.m. (gate(s) opened at 3:30 p.m.). About 1000 people already in line. Entered stadium at about 4:15 p.m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom56 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Got to the stadium at 4.45--was inside at 5pm. Didn't stupidly take a clear bag filled with crap. Next year, DCI should ban all bags and purses. Stuff your junk into your jacket pockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terri Schehr Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) If you’re gonna ban all bags, start with all the lanyard ####ers with big backpacks and gigantic camera bags with two foot lenses.

From semis Sec.142 Row.21 (back to aisle) and finals Sec.141 Row.15, I too was surprised by the congestion and talkers/shouters in the aisles, and saw corps staff and fans struggling to get thru. I also saw fans for each corps surge into the 140/141/142 aisle area and empty seats when their corps was up. On both nights I fended off fans looking for a better temporary seat when the real seat holder was momentarily away. No one seemed rude, but the ongoing seat jumpers just added to the congestion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seat jumpers are normal and don't bother me very much as long as they’re polite and leave when the real seat holders show up. But I agree, it added to the congestion a lot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on the aisle and we were getting up after every performance for someone to leave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CACTSC Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Walked up at about 5:45 and was in my seat in 440 at 6:05. Wanted to see the Marines. Walked right past the ridiculous lines toward the corps truck lot where there were short lines. Not sure why all had grouped up at the other end? Just have to not mindlessly get in line- go check it out for yourselves first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just have to not mindlessly get in line- go check it out for yourselves first! We did go and check and were waved back by an LOS employee to get into the serpentine line. That person must have started to work right after you got there as we were just a few minutes later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
