Mello Dude Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) I mean, it would break my heart if DCI were moved to another city with a dome like Las Vegas or something... Edited August 27, 2023 by Mello Dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue with Vegas that I see is what about the corps rehearsals finals week? With temperatures possibly hitting 110-115 in August, I don't see how the corps could rehearse at their respective housing sites. Or maybe once they get into Vegas Tuesday/Wednesday, they don't rehearse at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finals week this year was week 1 of preseason games. The Colts played in Buffalo on August 12. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keystone3ply Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Just received the confirmation email for my 2024 Super 3 Championship Package. Based on these comments, I guess I should just go ahead & sell them. 🤷♂️😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They produce a lot of static electricity,especially indoors first corps to harness this by tying party balloons to their ankles and slide-stepping across the turf to fire up color-guard lasers and shoot sparks out of their trumpets wins DCI Edited August 27, 2023 by 2muchcoffeeman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a domed stadium is a requirement, I think Detroit or St Louis are closest, although without an NFL team I’m not sure what shape St Louis stadium is in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
