George Strait at Jack Trice-5/25/24

[CY9008]

Nothing much to add that hasn’t been said. Beer lines long. Bathroom lines were fine, filled up at times, but not much different than game day- I’m glad I didn’t have floor seats because you were SOL.

I assume the artists were in the Jacobson, but closing the concourse around the north end zone made things 10x worse. Came across the bridge and had to fight the concourse crowds all the way around the SEZ.

Once George hit the stage and the lights were on, it turned into a pretty special night.

They needed better access to bathrooms from the floor. Apparently someone thought it was a great idea to have people simply walk up and down the stands. It meant we had a continuous stream of people going up and down the stairs between 7 & 8. As it got dark and more beer was consumed, the trip became increasingly dangerous as people couldn't see the steps. I am amazed some of those people didn't roll all the way to the bottom.

Like, a drinking problem?

People choosing to stand in a line still able to watch the show doesn't mean they have a drinking problem.

What about the ones too inebriated to even remember the show? Those kind of people are my favorites, pay 200 bucks to pass out before the main act comes on stage.

Concerts aren't really my thing. Don't love huge crowds and I would rather just listen to an artist rather than listen to everyone around me sing along off-key...

BUT, if Luke Combs is ever in JTS, I'm there in a heartbeat

I love going to concerts, but you just hit on one of my biggest pet peeves about live shows. I absolutely hate when the acts have the crowd sing parts of songs. I just paid a bunch of money to see you, the least you can do is sing your most iconic lyrics instead of making a monotone, off key crowd sing it for you. /rant

It's corny, but it's a part of that genre of concerts. Most country fans want to go to the concert to sing along with every word. They are entertainers, and it's a show.

Great show. Got one of his guitar picks so that was cool.

Yeah maybe some Porta potties down there would have helped?

I sure hope a crap load of Ames lager was sold

I don’t have a problem with people singing along the entire time, I have a problem with the musicians extending the mic to the crowd and having the crowd sing key lyrics instead of them singing it themselves.

I was not drunk and was walking pretty cautiously down those stairs in the dark. They needed porta potties on the floor. That was big miss.

You flash him or what?

 

[BCClone]

So, how much does ISU AD pull in for something like this?

Let's predict the next stadium show....assume it wouldn't be country?

Metallica

 

[twojman]

I'm not a country fan but what was the attendance? Looked absolutely packed.

 

[JSmoove]

Country sux

glad you kids had fun.

Hearing a rumor that one of the staffers at the vender booths (don't know which one) was adding a 20% tip on orders. When confronted it was "ooops", delete, and back to business. Nothing to back it up. But I have to admit I find those "select a tip" functions to be very suspect. Basically being bullied into tipping someone selling you a t-shirt.

Happens quite a few places here in Chicago. If it’s a big group, fine I get it, and it’s on the menu for the most part.

But I would tip normally and if they push the button for me, I’m hitting the back button and hitting the 0%. I really wish we would get away from tipping. Also prices without tax included

You are a turd. What was your original name?
