That tent was just too dusty w/ all the sand. I would go w/ the other tent, since it has more shade outside, but it's proximity to the arcade disco was a problem w/ the sound. So I guess that leaves This tent, since I def prefer tents to stages at Roo.
John: We don't even understand our own music Spider: It doesn't, does it matter whether we understand it? At least it'll give us . . . strength John: I know but maybe we could get into it more if we understood it
what stage is my favorite, especially now that i found the part where most people dont go, thats real damn close to the stage and is inches from portos, water, beer and food . . .
I have to say Which Stage because it was the first place I saw anyone at Bonnaroo.... Gov't Mule in 2002(although it wasn't called "Which Stage" back then). I spent all day Sunday at the Which Stage this year.

Breaks down like this...
1. What Stage - they do a hell of a job making the sound crisp and clear. Plus it's so friggin' huge that it's easy to get pretty close for just about any non-headliner. 2. The Other Tent - it's the only venue with a significant incline in the ground, making it easy to see the performances even from outside the tent. It's also nestled nicely in the corner of Centeroo, so there isn't so much bustling and noise bleeding to distract you. 3. (tie) This Tent/That Tent - for size, sound and location they are almost interchangeable. Weather is what dictates which is better; after a heavy rain the sand in That Tent becomes a sandal trap, but on hot, dry days like this year the dirt of This Tent gives new meaning to "dust bowl". 5. Which Stage - nevermind that the sound bleeds all over Centeroo, the main problem is the design. The combination sound booth/beer vendor dead center of the field and so close to the stage creates a massive chunk of almost unusable space behind it, forcing people to cram way the hell to the sides in order to see some of the most popular acts of the weekend (Lips, Stripes...) It's damn near impossible to get in and out of that area, let alone have a good view of the stage.
That Tent for me....I got the closest spots and it had the best sound of any of the venues for me. And when you are up front, the dust isn't an issue! And there never seemed to be a line for beer at the beer stand...even when the tent was crowded...go figure! Yep....loved That Tent.....
Which stage for me b/c I could see the stage the best...also those trees provided some necessary shade. They gotta get rid of that beer stand right in the middle (altho it was convenient)

The Other Tent for me, it was generally not crowded and it had lots of shade plus a water box and bathrooms right there. I took lots of naps and saw a few great shows so it's definitely the winner for me.

That Tent followed closely by the Other tent. Tents definitely beat stages.
agreed, i get bummed out when someone i want to see is playing at one of the stages in the middle of the day, cause i know i'm not gonna catch the whole set. i try! but it never happens
Normally, I'm a sucker for small, dingy, bar kind of venues where the smoke is thick enough to slice and you can touch the guitar strings if you stretch. That said, and while I love the semi-intimacy of the tents, I love the set-up and sound at the What stage.
The Other tent was my favorite. Nice small venue. Kinda sucked that it was the longest hike for me, but it was worth it. I think I spent most of the day Saturday there.

Despite it's acoustical flaws, Which Stage was my favorite. I thought it was the coolest looking and not too impersonal. The trees in the background made it easy to chill in the shade and listen to new music while waiting for someone else you're wanting to see there.
