Some Bad - Some Good
by BillyInMS on 1/2/12Liberty Bowl Stadium - MemphisRating: 2 out of 5We had a good time overall. Having said that, we were disappointed in our seats. We were in Row 81 which having gone to many other events, we expected to be much closer than we were. We were about 10 rows behind the camera man. We could see the whole field, but couldn't read the names on the back of their jerseys. I guess I am saying we expected more for $170 (3 seats through ticketmaster). This was our first trip to this statium, we were also surprised and disappointed that it was bench seating. If you ever go to the statium and you are past Row 50, make sure you bring a warm jacket. The wind got a little cold up there.
Security was good and the service personell were good as well. I think the parking attendendants and traffic control personell were the worst I have ever seen in an event. Simply put, there were none when it was time to leave the event!! It seemed like a free-for-all and there wasn't a traffic flow program or stratagy (although they were very particulate about were to park).
Like I said, it was football, it was a live event, and it was New Years Eve...so we did make the most of it and had fun. Unless it was a team I really wanted to cheer for, I think I would consider going to a different bowl next year.
