Even though Lucas has a 70,000 seating capacity, it has a lot more end zone seating than Memorial Stadium in Bloomington. So, my guess is that there’s not much difference. The acoustics, however…… don't tease me with no echo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given that Lucas Oil is an indoor facility, I would think that the turf replacement would run pretty smoothly. The foundation & drainage system is probably in pretty good shape with minimal repairs? Most sites quote a 3-6 week install. Our new HS turf system install only took about 8 weeks but that was tearing out the Bermuda grass, top soil, & old drainage system. Then the new concrete rim, barriers, foundation, & drainage had to be installed before the turf. They also had to dodge thunderstorms in May & June. The 2008 relocation was also the new construction which rarely goes as scheduled. So hopefully the 2024 project will mostly be a turf replacement. 🤷♂️ But I could also be an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about. 😁 But I'd rather be in the 'ole oil can. https://www.dci.org/news/frequently-asked-questions-2008-world-championships-relocated-to-bloomington-ind I don't believe there is a drainage system in Lucas Oil despite the fact it has a retractable roof. I remember hearing that during the debate as to why the roof remains closed for DCI in the early years. There has to be less than 10% chance of rain before opening the roof can even be considered. Also, the turf was replaced before the 2018 season if I remember correctly, so this isn't their first rodeo. Of course that year they didn't have to deal with removing big pools from the floor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides tax filings and fun stuff like that. 😬😂 There are no rules proposals either so we can’t ##### about clarinets. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the Cavaliers Anniversary Corps that year. I’m not sure LOS was ever talked about as being a real option. I only remember Bloomington as being the performance site.
