Right. Now do good.

Hello all...

First time poster, long time reader (just joined).

Kind of confused about the whole parking lot time situation. Every time that I've gone to see Jimmy in Pittsburgh we've gotten there waaaaaay before the whole 2 hour before the show starts BS. One time I showed up "late" at 5 and the place was already overflowing. So I don't know who's kidding who about these times...but I have heard a lot of grumblings across the internet and in person. Be it the new venue sponsor or the concert the night before...I was wondering what time everyone was legitimately planning on showing up to start tailgating? I plan on driving through the gates at noon...even if they're closed...I'm driving through them at noon. =0) I'd love to hear back what time everyone else is showing up.

OK...take care. See you all Thursday!

Fins, bottons, and tops up!!! Mike

The buses leave at 1pm to be at the lots . Personally I think that is late....if you start heading to the lots at Noon, you are safe!
