I see a lot of names that are scheduled there that should draw big crowds, but my mind can't get past the idea that it's just a tent.

Maynardave: heehee! You underestimate the willingness of hot, sweaty, stinky hippies/bros to get REALLY intimate when there is good music/entertainment to be had!

And truthfully, they're more like pavillion-sized than tent-sized.

Take a look at some of the pictures on the site and you should get a good feel for their size/capacity.
	Back to Top They're going over there to get their copies of the Lips' new single. You're going too? Make sure you pick your mom's two copies up as well. PS: I'm so glad they changed the damned branding. That pastel shit was killing me. How about you?

As far as getting close, anyone who isn't okay with getting close with tons of random strangers shouldn't ever go to concerts. lol.

^I made the mistake of bringing someone like that to a show with me one time. It was very weird that she didn't tell me she was claustrophobic and hated people touching her and being all around her before we went! But, she ended up having a great time so it was okay!

I'm guessing 9,000. And by this I mean under the tent.

That's a whole lotta people. To offer some perspective, the capacity at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville is only 20,000.

That seems to be larger than the other 2 though
