Re: Who's going to the D(etroit) 6/25

Did they say anything about parking the open field and tailgating or was it all garage parking? I talked to three different people who all said the same thing about the hoedown. Despite the soggy grass they loved the location. PS I so mad that reserved seats are on sale on group on right now for 49 ...

Re: Who's going to the D(etroit) 6/25

Todays Detroit News has an article about the Hoedown this weekend at West Riverfront Park. The article states: "There is ample parking in the area. Promoters for the Hoedown are pointing people to the Joe Louis Arena parking garage, located just up Jefferson, as well as the executive garage at ...

Re: Who's going to the D (Detroit) July 26th?

Unfortunately we were on a Jimmy sabbatical at the time. Had to take a few years off due to growing family, career change and becoming self-employed. Must have been an awesome show! I gotta say for all the griping I do about him moving to Comerica Park we throughly enjoyed it this year. Love that he...

Re: Who's going to the D (Detroit) July 26th?

I gotta say for all the griping I do about him moving to Comerica Park we throughly enjoyed it this year. Love that he played Bama Breeze ( he didn't play it last month when we saw him in Cleveland). And after nearly 30 shows that we've seen over the years we finally broke our curse and got to see h...

Re: Who's going to the D (Detroit) July 26th?

It was the lot on Elizabeth between Park and Clifford, the one with the yellow guard shack. Last year we were in the lot right along Cass just north of Elizabeth. Which was the fun lot? For the Elizabeth street lots, I would guess Lot I because the port a pot is there. Our rough plan, depending on t...

Re: Who's going to the D (Detroit) July 26th?

We weren't planning on going since we've already seen him once this summer and we're not too fond of the Comerica scene for JB but the wife scored tickets from work. Tailgating is hit or miss with it being chopped up into so many small lots. 2 years ago we had a great spot in one of the lots along E...

Re: Who's Going to Cleveland June 24!??

Yeah we definitely should have left earlier to get in but like I said, we've been to 20+ shows and never missed the start of a single one before so it wasn't our first rodeo in terms knowing when to head in. Sorry bout your luck. The lots are spread way out so that means so are the tailgates? We had...

Re: Who's Going to Cleveland June 24!??

Well that was disappointing. Not a good sign when you arrive at 4:30pm for a JB tailgate and there's no line of cars at the entrance and the lot is 75% empty. We had a good time and met some good people but that was the weakest tailgate ever in 15 years and 20+ shows. Usually have to worry about run...

Re: Who's going to the D (Detroit) July 26th?

We don't have tickets yet. We said we wouldn't go last year out of protest for the venue (lousy sound, lousy tailgating) however ended up going when my wife got free tix from work. Will probably end up doing the same this year.
Headed down to Cleveland today for the Cuyahoga Falls show.

Re: Who's Going to Cleveland June 24!??

In my experiences of traveling around to see JB most places "say" they won't open the lot until 4 or 5 but if cars are lined up on the road to get in earlier they will usually open the lot up to clear the roads leading in. We have about a 3-1/2 hour drive from north of Detroit so we're loo...

Re: What's the tailgate situation in Cleveland

This is our tailgate set up complete with complimentary shots for friends old and new who stop by. We'll be making the trip from Detroit to Blossom Music Center. We've travelled to many places to see JB but this will be a new one for us. Hopefully the tailgate atmosphere is fun! Looking at making th...

What's the tailgate situation in Cleveland

Looking at making the trip from Detroit to Cleveland for the show later this month. Never been to this venue. Anyone know if the venue is tailgating friendly?
