All that means is they want to buy the land that they usually rent. So they don't have to rent it anymore. I don't think Roo would get much bigger but who knows?

Owning that land long term makes a ton of business sense. I do think Bonnaroo will expand. The demand for live music in a festival format has been increasing and having that property available all year allows for more flexibility that I'm sure they would take advantage of.
I have some issues with the business insider article. "In recent years the number of stages has grown tremendously with names like "Solar Stage" and "Lunar Stage" and many more." Umm...pretty sure the Solar Stage has been there fer several years. "This year they added comedy acts Lewis Black, Cheech Marin, and John Waters." Without checkin' I know Lewis Black has been there before so he wasn't "added" this past summer. C'mon now...wikipedia can help you out.
Believe me, there are plenty of good genres Roo tends to stay away from. Just look at the electronic music they don't bring in, but their sister Moog does for an example.
They've hinted at a metal fest and a country fest. But I don't believe they needed any extra space to get these off the ground. I certainly don't picture anything else held on the Farm being larger-scale than Roo.
I think the most exciting part of this is the possibility that they could make more permanent improvements to the camping areas.
camping can take a back seat to more water stations and better grass down in centeroo in my opinion. iv never been bummed by the camping area but standing in line for 45 mins to fill my water bottle is a total buzzkill then you end up getting stuck in the dirt at That tent. with that being said as a whole roo has never let me down
This was my sixth roo and I've never stood in line for 45 mins for water. I hear these stories so I know it must happen but wow. I do see a lot of times people queue on one side of a water station and spouts on the other side you can walk right up to. Crazy.
All that means is they want to buy the land that they usually rent. So they don't have to rent it anymore. I don't think Roo would get much bigger but who knows?
ITM nailed it on the head. The own about 500 acres and rent out the rest if needed. It is possible that they may purchase a little bit extra than what they are renting now, but I don't think it will go past an extra 350 acres.

That article had major issues! In addition to the notes made above...
The main stages have always been "What Stage," "Which Stage," "This Tent," "That Tent," "The Other Tent," and "of course "Centeroo."
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

What would be great is Winteroo, Christmas in Tennessee! Maybe too much snow. Maybe Fallaroo during halloween now that could be pretty cool. There are plenty of bands that do a special Halloween show be cool to see maybe a two day fest for that.

A small Phish Halloween festival has been a long time dream of mine for the farm.
