    Living on Cape Cod and just having been there last night, I agree with the original poster. There is a new policy of NO ALCOHOL in the parking lot. NONE. Whether your 21 or 100. A bunch of my friends got busted earlier this week.

    And idk what the deal would be with a solo cup... sorry.
    And before his first step... He's off again...

    In my 10 years going to Greatwoods/Tweeter, we've never once been bothered by security. Every now and then, they'll come by and make sure we have it in cups, and ask us to bag the empties. Always really nice people, and really understanding. As long as you're not acting like douche bags, they'll leave you alone.

    My buddy went to a show there a few weeks ago, and said that security came by just a little bit after they had shown up and set up shop. Having some beers, grilling, tailgating in general. Security took all of their beer, and poured them out. They asked if they could just keep the beer and head back to their hotel with it. Security said nope, we have to pour them out. It was ridiculous.

    But......my other buddy went to see Tom Petty there earlier this summer, and had the VIP parking pass. He didn't get bothered once. Nobody said shit to them and let them do their thing. Who knows?

    I'm tempted to call and see what the deal is. This would seriously fuck the day up if we show up and have to hand over all our beer. I'd just as soon stay at the hotel and drink there.

    If anyone has anymore info, please let us know.

    if you're over 21, why can't you drink in the parking lot?

    Not sure what the law is in the MA, but isn't it illegal to drink in public spaces without a liquor license (save and except for in Las Vegas)?

    Lots don't open until 4pm by the way. New rules for Tweeter center so if you get there at 2pm, you might not get in.

    There were tons of people drinking at Iron Maiden last weekend. I did see the cops cuff some kids but I imagine it was for underage drinking.

    Mansfield main lots open at 4pm. I went to DMB the past 2 days and can confirm this is the case. People who went to Petty 2 weeks ago can confirm the 4pm gate opening as well. The pay lots outside the venue may be different.

    Also, regarding driving for you in the South Shore area, here's a tip: Do NOT take the highway the whole way to the Tweeter.

    I saw DMB 2 nights in a row this week and what I did was take 95 South to 7A Mansfield and then took 106 through Mansfield Center. I literally drove right to the lots with ZERO traffic. My buddy and I last night at 4:40 coasted right to the lots and as we're driving over the overpass, we look to the right at the traffic and it was backed up for as far as we could see. Mapquest 106 - no headaches at all.

    Great Woods night 2 '98. I got to the parking lot and was there for about 5 minutes. Decided to discreetly crack my first beer and put it in a solo cup. Random bike cop rolls up. He proceeds to take my ticket and make me leave the parking lot. I hadn't even had a sip of alcohol yet. Talk about a prick.

    Watch out at that place. Not to mention it may be the worst venue in North America for post show traffic.

    Yes i'm still bitter.

    Just park in one of the private lots when you first get off the highway, they have their own rules and own security. It will cost a bit, but well worth it to tailgate all day and have an easy exit.

    Taft - you're exactly right. I paid the $30 and drank in the first lot on the right before the main lots off the highway and had no problems. Around 7:30 a cop came around and told everyone to go in to the show, but it was no big deal. I literally spent 3 minutes in that lot after the show and got on the highway immediately after. No problems.
