That’s weird that US Bands would have a show there but not BOA or DCI. DCI i can understand...often times scholastic organizations get much better rates than non-scholastic groups. YEA got Metlife for a great price for USBands, and worked a deal with the Cadets on the times they ran shows there. OA...since they have so many other shows, they may have kept existing relationships Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they ran a Monday or Tuesday show there this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfgang Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 (edited) My understanding from people who have seen bands in the Cowboys stadium is the sound is horrible, as in worse than any indoor stadium DCI has ever had a show in. And, if anyone mentions the Superdome, have you seen how far away the sideline is from the seats there? I don't think that would be a viable venue. Not sure about room for warmup and bus parking in NOLA. Edited November 3, 2022 by wolfgang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d see horn players with horns down and still hear them playing in that place. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who performed in the Hoosier Dome several times, it was always fun to listen to the last phrases of your closer as you leave the field. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never had a chance to visit the RCA Dome but I’ve been to AT&T Stadium for a few events and yes, the acoustics are pretty bad. Kinda thought they would’ve tried to address that by now but I guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mello Dude Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I still say Las Vegas. Get all the hotels to pony up rooms for free for the corps and transportation to the football fields at local schools. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
