good luck with the no beverages going into the stadium. people do need to drink water since it will be hot.

I am sure they will be sure to have 5 dollar bottles of water for sale. It is Live Nation and the University after all.

Yeah, I hope they'll relax that rule a bit. In some venues which they had said no outside beverages/food, they actually ended up letting people in with a sealed water bottle. Which was a life saver.

Especially if the weather is going to be hot. We can probably try to persuade security to change their mind. But just be prepared and bring money to buy water inside too if they don't budge on it and we'll have to throw away our water.

I was looking for parking info and found this. looks like some info about tailgating, lining up, and other stuff.

I ordered some tickets from stubhub for general admission floor. they just came in the mail and they say 'ga stand - tunnel' on them with a 'section g' listed. Does anyone know if there's more than one ga section? Did I just get ripped off?

^yes, very important

Also, in Baltimore, where the weather was also very hot and humid, I wrapped a bandanna around my wrist and used it to wipe my face throughout the show because we were just getting soaked with the humidity. Just an idea if you want to do something similar. I learned the trick from Rafael Nadal, of course...

You can also use one of those sports wristbands, or bring a small towel with you I guess.

Room at the Loews Vandy Hotel

I have a friend who cannot make it to concert this weekend, so he will be cancelling his room at the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel. He had a reservation for one night - Saturday 7/2.

The hotel is on West End Avenue and is within 'walkable' distance from the stadium. (.81 miles)

I asked him to cancel his reservation tomorrow (June 28) at 10:00am Central in case anyone on this board wants to try and grab it after he cancels it.

I was thinking of checking the sporting goods store to see if it had one of these:

Frogg Toggs Chilly Pad - Dick's Sporting Goods

I wish I had thought of that a few weeks ago and ordered it online - no way it would get here in time if I ordered it today

 

[vjacqb]

^ that sounds awesome.

But for the time being I am settling for a Spiderman magic towel from my $1 store...

 

[kellyahern]

^Also a good idea

I wonder if they would let us bring in those little snap and activate 1st aid cold packs to wrap in our towels

Or would those be considered "liquid" for carryon TSA stuff

Now sunny 94 Degrees. Every little drop will help!

Wooow! That sounds kinda magical. And not expensive either. Hm, maybe I'll check out the Dick's at the mall...

It looks per the website and by calling (which I just did) they are available for $229 plus tax on that Sat. night....

 

[FrednU2]

They wanted $279.00 last week for a room! Hmmm.

Taken today from the garage next to the stadium. The stage will be huge compared to the stadium.

Don't see how they could rig up a screen to block the outside veiw without a hell of a lot of work and expense!

 

[Koukla]

Holy cow the stage looks HUGE in Vandy's stadium!

Can't. Wait.

 

[FrednU2]

It is Huge!!! : )

My seats are in section E row 5. that should be just below the lighter colored seats to the left of the picture.
