Thus, you will march where they tell you to march. And one thing you’ll learn is that from a performer’s point of view most stadiums are similar. A few stick out, but most of what you’ll remember is snippets of what happened during the performance that was unusual. I know that is how it was for me - you are concentrating so hard you don’t actually remember the actual performance. i would like to have keep big time performances here not just for me but the people who support me. i think it would be unfair to make people have to watch online or fly to some other place to watch the Corps perform because they have no home show. i just am not a fan of the idea of removing that. not to mention but Corps Encore often sells well due to the existence of Btal and the big name Corps that perform there, but because the stadium is not a dome, it would likely be skipped in this hypothetical. if i remember right DCI has a contract with WSU to perform there and rent all of the space, so it seems very pointless to remove this and shows similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being confrontational...asking in earnest. I bought 4 tickets for Atlanta this year, and thank God a miracle guided that show between massive thunderstorms and they got it in...otherwise...I'm out $350. I would absolutely pay more to be sure there was a show. I usually fly into Atlanta for the the assurance and comfort of the domed show, and I’ve also flown to Indianapolis for finals week. I’m not inclined to waste money and time for a high possibility of a rainout, no matter how “storied” the venue is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know about the Shriner's organization, but why do you ask that ? Shriners are legendary party people. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all said it was one of the best ever and what atmosphere. Reminded all of us of a place in Annapolis. Just beautiful. I'm sure we will go again next year. It’s that smooth warm blanket of Bulliet rye. It makes all the difference in the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be back if it's outside especially if it's the GSU venue. Love staying in the Centennial Park area; easy walk to food, stadium, etc. And they have a sky wheel. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that I "can't" sit outside in 105 degree heat in Atlanta. It's more that I spent the majority of my youth MARCHING in 105 degree heat in Atlanta and it sucks even more now than it did then. Mercedes is wonderful venue. Even working concessions there was a blast. Edited August 20, 2022 by Weaklefthand4ever 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom56 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Pity that Mercedes Benz won't give a discount for a non-profit orginazation. I love that stadium, (good, reasonably priced food options) and was hoping to go back next year with friends. Oh well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We southerners will understand the pure allure and cult like status of "The Big Chicken" 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
