    All those hotels are booked solid? Gee, I wonder if those people staying in the hotel will want to go out to eat.

    Nah, they probably will bring every bit of food with them. /Gut'd

    Troy isn't that great. Neither is Mumford & Sons or camping.

    I live in Mercer Co. close to Troy. I won't be attending. Hope this helps!

    I repped you, to rep him.

    You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.

    Fuck it.

    As for you Justin.....blow me.
    Troy is going to be a mess that weekend. Much like during that stupid fucking festival every June. Someone remind me when it is so I can request off work and not have to venture into Miami county.
  • sportchampps
    CC, It will be at Troy Stadium and camping is supposed to be near the river and close to downtown restaurants.

    And Phish is a poor man's Grateful Dead.

    I believe there will be 12 bands total, plus camping. Several friends went last year when it was in a small town out here near Chicago. They said it was a blast. That is cheaper than one night at a decent hotel and you get 12 bands, camping and all the smells of drunken slackers you can get. 'Merica!

    Are tickets expected to sell out quickly?

    Do I need to buy my ticket right at 11 tomorrow?

    Actually, you're wrong.

    Mumford & Sons, Phish, and Grateful Dead are all terrible.

    I would recommend buying them at 11 tomorrow.

    I know music is subjective but how can you not appreciate The Grateful Dead and the musical talent they had. I could understand not likening Phish since they are a jam band and that isn't everyone's thing or Mumford because of them being a niche band but all three bands have some amazing musicians.

    Because their "music" is boring as hell.
  • sportchampps
    If you don't enjoy jam bands I could understand. BTW Mumford is no where near a jam band.
  • friendfromlowry
    Shit, I do have to work that weekend. If anyone needs medical treatment, I got your back.

    A little? Friggin' a lot.

    I won't buy tickets because it would feel like "camping" in my back yard.
    The acoustics will allow you to hear the concert pretty well anywhere down by the river. Just the PA system from the stadium reflects loudly off the downtown buildings.
    I'm sure if you get anywhere on the bike path close-to the stadium/ice rink you'll hear everything.
    Just forget about parking anywhere close.
