I did not go to the show last time he was in Omaha. There are several bars within walking distance in the Old Market. Should be fun...not Alpine fun, but fun.

I'm not going to this show but I was at the last one. I seem to remember the lots opening before noon, but it wasn't a good day to tailgate. It started raining shortly after we got there, then there was a tornado warning later in the day. We packed up our tailgate and headed to one of the bars in Old Market.
