The non existent backfield along with the sites general electronics problem that go way back to fan network. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the show starts at 7:00 or so, you don't start home till at least 10:30/11:00.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should they still do the show even if it's reduced audience (wouldn't be surprised if it still filled) to make it fair for all groups? To me yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den8uml Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 The radar forecast doesn’t look THAT bad for tonight. Currently predicts one storm cluster at about 7:30/8. Not a whole night wash out. But that old stadium might not be able to handle the water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logistically it is a nightmare as it was setup many years ago. I personally think an outdoor stadium is best for DCI East. I get the reasons for wanting a dome but Drum & Bugle Corps is still best served outdoors in a nice stadium. If -- and this is a big if -- DCI gets to the point where they decide to leave Allentown there are some good options in Delware, D.C.-Maryland, PA, even in Buffalo NY, etc., but it would be nice to have at least one Regional outdoors. Just my 2 cents on this. I’m fine with it being outdoors! Let’s just go to a modern stadium that can facilitate a one day show! There are countless options in the northeast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
