people never get the logistics... even though LED technology keeps improving and prices keep dropping, placing a screen at each of the stages would require at least 1 video tech, 2-3 camera men, at least 1 utility/grip, and a great deal of other expensive (and space consuming) thinkgs like cranes, booths, boards and cables.... sure, it is easy to say "just throw a screen up", but the production cost alone would be enough to tack a few extra bucks onto everyones ticket.
unless of course you want a single, static camera mounted from the roof, poorly white balanced due to the constantly changing light conditions.... then maybe just a few quarters tacked onto your ticket price. but that sure as hell wouldnt be "world class".

I'd be happy with what Coachella, Hangout or DeLuna did this year. Even Orlando Calling had a better showing visually. The coolest visual thing I saw last year was done by a marketing company. I'll be the first to pony up another five bucks to get this done.

my whole point was that people make these suggestions without any thought to consequences, or will unknowingly contradict what they are proposing.
you want more space at the stage, make them bigger... well cameras and booths take up more room. not just more room, but most likely, prime real estate... so then next year we have a thread whining about how cameras were in the way etc.
I think that the ideas that they are throwing out there are not bad. Sure there will be give and take, but overall screens would do good things. And it would be cool to have them for late night sets for sure.
I don;t mind the sand in the tents, I wear sanuks and its really no big deal.
raising the stages would def be good.
They could put fans with misters behind them would be cool. They could blow a good amount of air and mist in there and make it more comfortable, and it really wouldn't cost all that much I dont think... of course I don't really know so its just a guess

You do realize that there are usually camera crews taping every Bonnaroo show anyway, right?

I truly think fans would do a wonder in the tents. Not oscillating. Exhaust people. Im talking turbines in the roof. Think dust people kick up dust. Granted its moving anyway. Inside the tent thoug, the roof acts as a barrier trapping air movement. If they put fans in top of roof it would clear all the dust during day and circulate the cooler air at night up through tent, exhausting all that nasty funk odor hot radiant hotness that I cant wait for. I know your going to say "but the sides are open." 2-3 good exhaust fans though, per roofline, would move that air quicker than you think. Ahhh, cleaner air in tents
Edit...and angle grade of ground in tents amphitheater style. a slight increase in grade would benefit everyone at tents.
Never really had a problem with the sand before. Soft sand helps tired legs and feet. I only can think of two issues I have with the tents. One is sound bleed. Having Which, This and the small stage in between (can't remember the name of it) all together and then the Lunar and the Other tent so close together sometimes you get really bad sound bleed. Not sure how you could improve this situation without losing something in the process. The other is not necessarily a tent issue but moving from Which to What and vise-versa is difficult to say the least. They need to put something down that makes crossing the muddy river easier. Other than that, I'm happy as a clam. ;D

Yes. I've been saying this for years (as have many others I would assume). It slows down traffic quite a bit during the mass exodus after a headline show.

yeah and the pallets they lay down eventually dont help at all. i think the tents need some screens, i dont nessecarily want to be in the mess of things to enjoy the show and a couple of big fans in the roof in an attempt to cool it down would be balling. totally be willing to pay a few more bucks for a few more amenities
I would love it if the stage was a little higher, or the crowd area had a slight decline towards the stage. I'm 6'2" so I have had no problems seeing, but my gf is 5'6" and couldn't see any of the bands on stage. I also have a few shorter buddies who had troubles seeing the stage, no matter where we were located in the tent.
i would appreciate this! but i'm 5'4"- so basically unless i am right in front it's pretty difficult for me to see well from most places
Any chance they'd go back to hanging the name of the band in the front of the tent instead of next to the stage? There are times I've been walking by a tent and really enjoyed what I was hearing but don't know who's playing and God only knows where my schedule is at that point
The pallets could also be a hazard. People could get their feet stuck in the those things and do some pretty nasty damage to an ankle or foot. Not to mention falling in that nasty mess and getting trampled.

This If I was walking by the go see someone else playing I could just look up and get the name of who was playing and look them up later.
