Dave said that they listened to the patrons and made some changes. People said the walk was too far for them. It was. I think for the most part this solved that, at least it was much improved.
They said that they moved from the the track because it would be less dusty. It wasn't. 15000 can chew up a field of grass in no time. At least there were less four wheelers running close to the track most of the time.
They said that they moved because there would be more shade. There wasn't. There were two small sails at BRB that mayce shaded 75-100 people. I understand that shade structures will block peoples view. Should have figured that out before you promised it.
As to aceess to venue I can't complain. I was mere feet from the entrance. We had ice, showers and bathrooms right next to us, not that I used them.
I thought the sound from main stage was good but could have been louder. They did put up signs to keep chairs behind soundboard and had an aisle marked down the center but it wasn't enforced.
It was packed Sat. night but not in a bad way. Just don't see how they add 10000 people to this setup. They are counting on people being on both sides of venue. They need video screens on BRB side showing main stage and need to fix delay issues with sound from msin stage through speakers on BRB side.
I think the VIP viewing area platfrom was nice but you can't see or hear from there. Maybe all show talkwers should be sent too this platform. Personally I want to be able to walk directly from VIP lounge into VIP viewing area in front of stage. It won't happen but I will suggest it (sorry longhair). Personally I thought that the VIP viewing area near stage was better this year while the GA still had majority of stage frontage. I was able to ride the rail for terrapin station no problem. Have to enforce no chairs inside of these pens, it is a serious safety hazard if you have to exit quickly. I loved the setting of the stage surrounded by trees with ever-changing lights shining into them (it wasn't just me was it?), I also love not seeing cars driving behind the stage on Sunday night.
All in all I had a fantastic time surrounded by amazing people, you guys being the majority of those people. And how about that weather? criticalbill gets all of the credit for that because he bitched so much they felt that they had to do something. I will be back for sure, no matter who is playing and have already started to strategize entrance and camping locations. You can never start too early...tl;dr

It's hard on a new band when they open with their killer first tune to see the crowd streaming out to the beer and porto's. Also, most acts build to a big finish, and the next act has to jump in on Jerry Lee Lewis's flaming piano.
