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.

5/23/2011- An utter embarrassment... ticketing failures too many to list.
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.
the lots were horrible, come on people pick up your shit......a car couldn't leave without running over 12 bottles, i wonder how many people were on turnpike with flat tires

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.
Cant wait for the shit tonight. I have a lead pipe in my trunk. I didn't have to use it last time PJ played in Camden... maybe it will make an appearance tonight

What are you a scum bag. Theres two cities that give NJ a bad name camden being one of them, and thats because its so close to philly. NJ is awesome.
P.S. basketball blows
.... and its weird that no one recycles! SUPER weird and heartbreaking.
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.

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.

Completely embarassed to see PJ fans treat anywhere like that. It was one huge frat party with douche bags and there shirts off, even though it wasn't hot, trashing the place. After the show, it looked like a tornado went through a white trash neighborhood. Seriously, is this Philly, or have PJ fans gone bad?

I thought the world...Turns out the world thought me
one thing I've never understood: Why booze it up big time at a concert? I want to actually remember the show. Don't get me wrong, I'm no teetotaler. I love to drink, and I'll even have a couple at a show. but I don't see a point in getting blind drunk at a concert
Half of the appeal of Camden is the tailgate. Why are people bashing it? The town sucks, the venue isn't nearly as good for a PJ show as the Spectrum, and the crowd (esp. in the lawn) generally aren't as enthusiastic about the show as people in an arena.
The whole point of Pearl Jam playing in Camden is so I can go to the Campbell's field lot, look out across one of the dirtiest rivers in the country and see a skyline that was built in such a manner as to prevent any sports team I enjoy from winning a championship since 1983. If that doesn't give me the right to pound beers and throw my empties on the ground, than honestly folks, what will?

Man the parking lot was f'ing nuts after the show last night! My wife was in fear!Seriously! Their was a dude in lot with a tire iron looking to start fights with everyone!It seems like some smashed his car window during the show! I think he had a little too much to drink!

Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.

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

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.

when did your mom change her name to basketball?
zing!
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...
