That is huge! Full show instead of crammed in the arena
Had hoped we’d be able to have events like this.
How do they protect the turf?
Monster jam is fun… you really see the dregs of society there though
but what will the concession prices look like?

While I’m totally uninvested in the concessions conversation, I actually think that’s a legit question here. Will the prices be very different? If so…we could be onto a conspiracy theory

They lay mats down to cover the turf, then pile the dirt on top.

My son wanted to go see it when he was about ten. I liked it better than I thought I would but I was glad he never asked to go back.
Today is the day for the Supercross
Thought they did a great job last night. Most exciting part was when a Deegan dumped that kid on the last corner to pick up a spot in the 250 main. Thought we were going to see some real excitement when they got together before leaving the floor, but they both stayed on their bikes and rode off with no other incident.
It was my first time inside Protective and I have my critique. It’s a beautiful venue, all concessions were open that I could tell with long lines. I didn’t use them, so I don’t know how fast they were getting people through. There were beer venders with no, to little lines, so that wasn’t a problem. Good crowd, but I have a question. Was last nights crowd just quiet, or does that stadium not hold the sound in? The stands are built a little flatter then I expected, if they were steeper it might of held in the sound better, also, why did they not build the upper deck on the east side over lapping the lower level, seems like from up there you are pretty far from the field.
Hope this becomes an annual event, with Supercross now being aired on Peacock, I don’t subscribe, I think it will hurt their brand. They don’t even replay it later on any other station. It needs to get back on a normal channel as in years past.
Can’t wait until South comes for a visit and I can see a football game in the stadium.
We wouldn’t know if it holds sound or not since nobody outside of sec 124-126 makes noise

You don’t have to wait until we play the Jags to see a football game. Come see us this fall or the stallions this spring
There is a post on Reddit about how bad the fan experience was for people last night.

You have a link to that, wouldn’t mind seeing what all they had to say. Other then it getting cold and the not quite rain it was a good night.
