I already have a huge conflict and no bands have been announced. The World Cup is June11 - July11, it's going to fall during Bonnaroo. I'm a big soccer fan and the World Cup is kind of a big deal, what are the chances of some games being played in the cinema tent? The tournament is in S Africa, so the time difference will work, games in the early morning. Last roo the US was playing in the Confederations Cup and we ran into a few fans wearing the USA shirt, so I know there are a handful of us out there. I sent the Roo folk an email. I want my music AND my soccer!

They played the NBA Finals in the cinema tent this last year. I can't imagine them not showing at least the U.S. games. If nothing is conflicting I'd be there with ya.
They showed it in 06. Also Nashville is on the map for 2014, can you imagine the crowd Bonnaroo would get if it was running at the same time as the world cup 80 miles away.

this makes me happy. it would be the best friggin soccer pub in the country next summer, cinema tent ftw! the final 6 spots were won tonight, little bummed the irish didn't surprise us, but henry in another cup is ok.
edit:henry put the ball across the mouth of the goal with an obvious hand. he probably shouldn't travel to Ireland. ever. i just saw the highlights.

really people worry about this? this happened my first year with the Celtics being in the finals... all of my friends were running to the cinema tent and skipping shows... not gonna travel 1000 miles to a music festival to watch a sports game i could have seen at home.
seems silly to replace live music with a game you could record, watch later and get the same exact experience from it
Yeah this is my first Roo I am going to miss in awhile (been there last three years) because I am going to Europe for the World Cup (know it's in SA, but I did this last World Cup and it is a great experience watching the games in the countries that are playing). Pretty bummed that I will miss Roo though. Last year's lineup was the weakest IMO out of all the years I have gone so I am sure I am going to be REALLY bummed when the lineup comes out. I am fully expecting some sort of Roots/Common/Badu latenight to be announced since that is what I have been hoping for every year and life is cruel like that sometimes

because the games are played in south africa missing music probably won't happen.
yeah, there likely won't be conflicts with music. and the world cup is an event that happens once every four years, that's a little different than the nba finals. if you've been following a team on their journey the whole way to south africa, it totally makes sense that you'd want to see their showing in the world cup. and it'd be impossible to not have the results of the games spoiled, especially now that 90% of the universe has an iphone. it's not like he said he'd be skipping roo for the cup.
2/5- Papadosio 3/3- MUSE 3/12- John Mayer 3/19- The Werks 3/31- Passion Pit 4/18- Ben Folds 4/20- Against Me! 6/10- Bonnaroo 6/30- Eric Clapton and Roger Daltrey
You will miss a grand total of 6 opening round games by going to Bonnaroo. I promise you will survive.
technically there are 11 games a person would miss, if you include the early monday morning games.
I'm going to Bonnaroo, I started this as a boy who just wants his cake and to eat it too.
If some of us nuts run off to the cinema tent for a 7am or 10am or even a noon game, I'm pretty sure the rest of you will survive as well. so we all win in this one.

I will be at any USA showing, barring major conflicts. And believe us when we say this isn't just any sporting event. In 06 the line for the US game was the longest i saw all weekend at the cinema tent. Ultimately my group didn't get in, even though we showed up close to an hour in advance. However, the game was in the middle of the day and the cinema tent has AC. Plus we were playing Italy, making the game pretty important to fans.

USA - England on Saturday morning.
edit:the game will be at 2:30pm Bonnaroo time. If this happened last year it fit in my schedule perfectly. Go to Alejandro Escavedo, grab a beer and stroll over to the cinema tent. watch the game. then head over to of montreal after... have a feeling the curse of conflict may raise it's head this year, but i gotta see my yanks.
I watched the World Cup at Roo in 06. It was awesome. They only show the U.S. games though, so be prepared for that.
that works for me.
I was definitely a little hazy, but i'm fairly confident that the game I watched in 06 was Brazil v Australia. Either way, the only game I'd really be interested in missing music for is the us v england game.
Here's a list of the games that are played during roo, and a couple from Monday.
6/11 South Africa v Mexico 6/11 Uruguay v France
6/12 Argentina v Nigeria 6/12 Korea Republic v Greece
