Hey guys, I have read on the website that sealed bottled water in plastic bottles is ok to bring in Centeroo as is a small bag of some sort (backpack, etc. I assume?). What else is acceptable or not acceptable?
Also, I wanted to bring in a bedroll that I am going to cut in half, tie together and put some kind of slip cover on... then I am going to roll that up and either tie it to my back or bag, or actually have it sticking out of my bag... do you think this will be ok?

You'll be fine. Sealed water bottles and sealed food products are definitely allowed in Centeroo. While technicaly prohibited, many folks walk-in with full camel-backs. It's kinda random sometimes but, sealed stuff is always cool.
You're bedroll shouldn't be a problem either. They may ask you to unroll it at the gate but, that's it. Backpacks and bags are absolutely vital, in my opinion. Again, they may look through them but, you can definitely carry them in with you. Low-backed chairs and small umbrellas are also allowed.

What exactly is a low-back chair? On the FAQ it says anything less than a foot off the ground. Are they only talking about Fest-rests and Crazy Creek-type chairs? or is a low set metal frame chair ok?

Excellent news - thank you for the information Oatmeal. On a related note, is there typically enough space near the back of the crowd at a show to set up a blanket, bedroll, or chairs, etc.? I assume the crowd thins out as you get further from the stage.

As long as you're not trying to get too close to the stages, there is PLENTY of room! My gf isn't crazy about crowds, so we usually hang-back and chill on a blanket or in our crazy-creeks.

Just going to slip this in there.
You can always push the limit at Bonnaroo. You'll see some people blatantly breaking "the rules", then wonder why you hadn't tried yourself. Worst comes to worst you'll just have to toss your stuff back at the campsite.
My favorite piece is about how there's to be absolutely no oil drum fires, circus tents, and pig roasts. That sh*t just cracks me up because you know some guys tried roasting a pig there at some point in time. Great idea though, pig roast at Bonnaroo. There may be a revolt from the vegan section.

Stilly question, but is Centeroo and the stage area one in the same... meaning, do the same security rules apply to the stage areas that apply to Centeroo? Are the two seperated in any way?

Definitely not a silly question.
The answer is yes. You will only have to pass through 1 of 2 (I believe) security checkpoints to get into the main stage/centeroo area.
No worries about that either. The only time they really crack down is when the volunteers working the gate want "something" if you catch my drift.

Thank you for the quick answer - this board has been immensely helpful in preparing for Bonnaroo.
Not a problem. I know a few people going for the first time this year. One of them is a very dear and long time friend of mine. Before talking to him recently, I forgot how it can seem a bit imposing with your imagination running wild with possibilities.
There's lots of rules, most of which go straight out the window.

quick question related to this: when i went to langerado i went vip, and they didn't check anything when you went in i was wondering if this was the same for bonnaroo, like if there is a specific vip entrance thanks!
