Metalbinky Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 I’ve been to Indy since 2019 when my son started his DCI career. So I’ve been to Indy 4 years including 2021. Favorite year so far is 2023, the year my kid got a ring with BD. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was surprising! My question is how many Finals have you attended? And what was your favorite? My favorite was 1995. My first!

tommynev Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Since '92 I've been to 29 (six as a performer). I've only missed Boston in 2005 and Pasadena in 2007. My favorite is still 1992, favorite locations are Madison and Bloomington. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sh0uldN0t Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 32 and counting. Someday I won't make it. When that day comes, if I'm not dead, I'll be very sad. Can't imagine being anywhere else that weekend. Favorite year for sure was 2011. All of the top five that year were wonderful, fan-friendly shows. Plus a well-deserved Cadets gold medal. Favorite location is Indy. Had my doubts originally. Now I know that Indy can't be beat for fan comfort, convenience, etc. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slingerland Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Performer or staffer - 4 Butt in Seat - 24 Madison is still the best atmosphere, but the worst actual stadium (bleachers?) I've come to respect all of the advantages Indy offers in terms of ease of getting to the stadium, affordable parking, decent housing options, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scheherazadesghost Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 03, 04, 08 I only remember the first 2 and prefer Mile High. Needed friends to help me piece together my memory, honestly. Was sad to discover last year that the CO show was no longer there. Fond memories of both 04 finals and trying to make the 03 show work there. Have a friend-alum in Indy so I may try to go next year if I can muster the fortitude. The Midwest isn't my favorite place to visit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the minority, but I'm glad DCI doesn't hold Finals there anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valjean Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 2 as a (spectating) nonfinalist, 2 as performing finalist, 2 as a pure (tickets bought) spectator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
