Being a long time, die-hard mavs fan from Dallas, this made the festival so much better. Its enough to see the mavs win a championship, but to see it at roo., I never expected such a thing.
The sports bar was insane. There was almost a fight when my friend hit a beach ball and it knocked a heat fans beer over. haha. Who remembers those losers? All you mavs fans were great, there were so many of you. It was getting rowdy in the bar. Id like to say thanks to all you guys for making my experience this year even better. Was anyone here in the bar for the games?

I was watching on the field outside the sports bar, I'd say 95% of people were rooting for the Mavs. There were three guys from Miami sitting next to us, and there were maybe two other people total cheering for Miami out of about 100.
I know! It was great. There was a little amount of hear fans in the bar, but most were mavs fans. There was a few heat fans sitting at the bar, these were the guys that almost started a fight. They werent even from miami, and ill never forget when someone started the chant, "Youre not from miami! Youre not from miami!" It was priceless. Im so proud to see so much Dallas pride at bonnaroo. GO MAVS!!!
I watched outside the sports bar and enjoyed it a lot. Last year they had the Celtics/ Lakers on a huge drive-in style movie screen outside and I thought it was even cooler except I didn't get to see LeBrick blow another one. I think being rude to opposing fans is lame though. After Eminem, people were following some girl with a Canadian flag chanting USA USA. That's pathetic.

I watched the 2nd half of both games in the cinema tent. It was definitely fun having opposing teams fans in the mix during the game. I ended up getting shoved into a chair hard when an angry Heat fan was leaving early when they were about to lose and everyone was shouting "Fuck the Heat". He looked like he had an unhappy childhood.
No biggie, I know sports can bring out the idiot in everyone. But yeah it was fun. Not sure i will be able to make the parade tomorrow though, I just took off 7 work days in a row.
I probably ruined my white Dirk all-star jersey wearing it thursday and Sunday, oh well. I also had the flashing LED Mavs hat if you saw me around and wore blue glowsticks both games.
You guys were loud. I left WSP to try and get on the ferris wheel, and I could've sworn someone snuck out onto one of the tents to play. The first thing that popped in my head was Jack White (obviously) and I picked up the pace to follow the crowd. I wasn't disappointed when I saw the Sports Bar going crazy, though.
This is the ONLY time you will ever see me rooting for a Dallas team, so soak it in Mavs fans. Congrats and screw LeBron.

There was a funny moment at the end of the Explosions show when the crowd was chanting for them to play an encore and their guitarist cam out and thanked everyone for making the show so special, but they couldn't play an encore because they had to get to a tv to watch the 2nd half of the Mavs game.

I was there and recorded some video during the game and at the end when they locked it up. The place was SOOOOOO loud it was awesome. Had no idea it was gonna be crazy like that. Great way to cap off the Roo for me.

Yes that really disappointed me, but made me laugh at the same time b/c I was thinking of the game at the same time. I made it real close to an outside tv, then on the way to grab a beer, started talking to 2 guys in line. We saw a guy sneak under the tent, so we decided to do the same. A minute later we were grabbing beers at the bar and watching the game in a mass of humanity. It was truly a great moment, however un-bonnaroo it was, because of the unity and friendliness, it was so bonnaroo at the same time.
I recall the mavs fans just starting out with "lets go mavs" chants. Theres nothing wrong with that. It was the heat fans, specifically those 3 or 4 mexicans at the bar that started to talk crap.
