Those of you who went last night, how was the parking lot, in terms of security allowing beers and grilling, etc? We're going tonight and planning to get there early.

    It was a dump with crap everywhere. They were pretty cool about it though.
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    we hung around after everyone left last night, and I have NEVER seen a lot more devasted by fans in my life. Bottles everywhere. Garbage everywhere. It was terrible.

    If they are going to be cool, and let us drink openly and pretty much do whatever we want, do them a favor and bring some trash bags, and clean up a little after yourself.

    It's always like that... even worse at Phillies games especially Dollar Dog Nights which bring out all the "college-age" kids.

    Stay in the lots if you plan on drinking out of bottles/cans...Don't make the mistake my buddy did and grabbed a bottle to go as we walked towards the venue. As we are getting closer (still in the lots, but one of the empty ones), a cop is sitting there and is picking people off left and right with tickets for "public drinking" (=$78 fine)...

    So she tells my buddy to get rid of the beer and he asks "Why" because we were still in the lots and he didnt know the rules too well...Well, that one word was enough for her to flip out, ask for ID, and write the ticket, without hearing anything from my buddy as to why he asked "Why?"

    Rules are rules, but this was a pathetic scam to keep the cops entertained.

    Anyways, leaving the lot was terrible, and I had to keep the windows up because the air smelled like a porta-potty.

    That's good advice.

    What about grilling? Someone on a previous thread said they were once told they couldn't grill at Camden. Was that OK yesterday?

    okay this was my first american tailgating experience... and most of us weren't from around so we were all pretty disgusted as well... your post leads me to believe there is some hope that not all tailgating leaves behind a disaster like that :eek:

    it smelt like piss everywhere, and there was garbage and food everywhere, no one picked up their bottles/garbage, and its weird that no one recycles! SUPER weird and heartbreaking.

    Camden 1st show 2006 was the worst I've ever seen. Last night was mild compared to that. 6 inches of trash on the ground. Porto potties filled to the ceiling with trash.

    Glad to see that some people at least cleaned up after themselves this time around. But, you know, there is always room for improvement. Should be mandatory to carry trash bags with you.

    The parking lot tailgating was awesome. Shared some rum and tequila with the neighbors and they shared BBQ. Police were very lax and no problems. Overall perfect day. Great time!
    I will hold the candle until it burns up my arm. I'll keep taking punches until their will grows tired. I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind. I won't change direction and I won't change my mind.

    Out of all the observations I made last night that thought didn't even cross my mind once. I guess everyone has their priorities. That is far from being one of mine.

    I grew up in Jersey and unfortunately I have to agree with you. There are some real nice spots, but they're no where near that venue.

    that's exactly how it was in 2003. I've been to many concerts, baseball games, and football games. I've never, ever seen anything quite like that

    If you want to park in the outdoor lot get there EARLY
    it was closed off by 6-630 and they were putting people in the garage. Dont fuck with Camden police-they deal with a lot worse-the only response they want to hear is yes sir or yes ma'am.
    And at least put your drink in a cup and not be so blatant about it.

    Oh, that wasn't the smell from the lots.. That was the eternal essence that resides in and around the Camden city limits.

    I've smelled that smell...
