The Battle of the Bands was very entertaining. I'm glad the bands performed last. The stage and bands were arranged so that all spectators could see. The jumbo screens were wonderful. Elderlly that could barely walk were present to see their family, freinds and had to walk up those very steep steps in the DARK. Not good. Please make arrangements before next year. "I hope all of the Divine 9 from both schools would plan to participate in the Greek show". I'm thankful for the openness to other groups but spectators come to see the Divine 9. Please help with that before next year. Sound system and computer effects creativeness were great. Much much better than past years. This was my first year to attend since Katrina. The dome looks very nice. Restrooms were well attended. Ushers were very helpful. Please allow guest to enter the facility at least 2 hours before the event. Standing in lines at the door, with no visible security in the dark waiting to enter the dome is very scary and dangerous. All ages are present and excited to attend the visit. Pushing, swearing, screaming takes place when the doors are opened an hour before the event. Seats are not reserved so everyone anciously runs for the door. IThe crowd is just too large for that. Is it like that at the Saints games? A problem.
The same exact thing happened for the game the very next day. It was raining. Fans were made to stand in the RAIN! All ages. Not good. A problem. People pay lots of money to support the weekend events. Something has to be done. Preferrably before next year please. Thanks
Please pass the word, vendors and outside concert was awesome. Especially the setup.
