DCImonkey Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Well, I attended my very first BOA Regional this weekend down in Atlanta. Wow, it's nice to see good marching bands for a change. I was concerned when I went because I LOATHED my last experience in a dome when I attended the DCI Regional in Indianapolis in 2004. However, I was very impressed with the GA Dome and how the sound didn't echo for days. Overall, I thought the venue was great for the marching activity and the sightlines were great even from the upper deck. Next year's DCI regional should be very well attended and become a yearly stop for DCI. I think I'll attend next year based on my "trial run" this weekend. Anyone else have any thoughts about the various domes that we must endure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tummygoat Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Georgia Dome would be a GREAT regional venue for DCI. Very centrally located for the East Coast and far less reverberation than RCA. Would love to see them go there!! (OT) What bands caught your eye there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomR Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 yeah, if I dont make Crown, I am going to the Atlanta Regional. Glad to hear it is a decent venue, and ecspecially since it would be my first live, major DCI event. ~>conner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssorrell Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Georgia Dome would be a GREAT regional venue for DCI. ... Would love to see them go there!! Perhaps you missed the announcement... DCI will be in the GA dome next summer with a major regional on July 29. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaSqueegee Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I watched the Monday or Sunday night football game (can't remember which night it was on) a week or so ago. It looked like the dome has a club level....is that true?? Where were your seats?? Is the whole place seat backs or benches?? Curious minds need to know!!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadwick Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I have season tickets to the Falcons game, so hopefully I can answer questions some of you have. - All the seats have seat backs, and are fairly comfortable, although you may want to bring a seat cushion on 7/29, long day! - There is a club level, with maybe 25 rows - The Dome is very accessible via MARTA, the public railway in the city My Falcons tickets are in the upper deck in the corner, and it is still a good view of the field. The only thing that is tough to see is field goal kicks...which shouldn't be a problem with DCI, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_S Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 (edited) Wow, it's nice to see good marching bands for a change. The Atlanta contest was actually a little down this year, especially for a Super Regional. Heh, come to Indy for a BOA contest, even the regional, and you'll see a great show. As for domes, I've only really heard contests in Indy and St. Louis. Both seemed pretty comparable to me, but St. Louis might have been a little more spacious. The RCA Dome, after all, is currently the smallest stadium in the NFL. Indy will have a new stadium in time for the 2008 NFL season, though.

lisard5 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I hadn't heard about the Dome getting the DCI regional yet either. That will be great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
