Someone gave me this map last year which I found helpful.

drunk high schoolers are all over the place, but the Orenda lot has been a popular place for them to gather as of the past couple years. The lots off of Route 50 (my preferred entrance) are usually the best place to hang out. I'm not one to hang out anywhere other than my seats, but that'd be my suggestion. I think the ants people gather there too, so you may wish to bring earplugs :lol

[Rud]

i will try to come up with a more comprehensive map.

[Rud]

here is my shot at it:

[Rud]

second thought, i might change the Columbia area to ~50/50

[Rud]

oh, and this is what spac is planned to look like soon, they just announced these redesign recently.

my bad man.
haha no prob.. there was a bunch of us hanging out in the front.. i should have checked to see if anyone checked in for the reservation

[batleon]

Rud :lol

I parked near the geyser last year and the area was relatively free of douchebags. Got out of the park in less than ten minutes too.

[sneaksbeac]

How is the VIP parking situation?

[batleon]

I think we should all bring beach balls. As a statement of course. Not to throw them around.

How is the VIP parking situation?

VIP Parking is fantastic. Lot's right next to the entrance/exit. You'll be on Rt. 50 in minutes after the show is over

Hey guys. Due to Game 7, I am trying to sell my N1 tickets. I have two singles:

[Josh.0]

Which lot were you in last year for N2? Were you in the baseball field?

Oh, there's also another giant lot next to the museums or whatever they are. Last year for N1 we were in there, but unfortunately, there were a lot of high schoolers again.

I was in the baseball field in '06. It was fine but it was hell on earth getting out of there after the show. Must have taken two hours. It sucked.

I was in the upper part of the road that loops there last year, right under where the word "Drunk" is on your map.

[Moses]

Im going to really regret having to cut these shows

[jmur]

yeah...ive been looking forward to my birthday for so long. between turning 25, and being able to see dmb on my birthday..it was just gonna be an awesome experience.

the thought of being at calling hours on my birthday makes me sick to my stomach. :(

on another note...my wife and i put in a bid on a house yesterday. we are waiting to hear back to see if we got the house. we will hear by 9pm tonight. im really hoping we got it. i could use a little good news.

I'm looking forward to a nice getaway weekend in Saratoga!! Can't wait.
Flying solo on Friday but have a great seat. Thanks 3beams! :upyours
Decent pavilion seats on Saturday as well.

Shaping up to be a great weekend. :banana

[d.m.bfan222]

:dunno

I'd like to find one too, there is a really detailed one that's old so you can't see the seat numbers that are on it.

[TheNoise]

basically i just want to know which directions the numbers go. it will determine if i can see jeff/rashawn on N2 or not!

Ok at least for sections on the right of this chart (sections 12, 14, etc) seating numbers start on the LEFT side of each section block. So if you're in section twelve, row C seat #1 you're closer to the center of the theater.

[krayz]

I'm sure you guys have seen http://followdmb.com/images/spac.jpg

It looks like the numbers go from center stage to the outside for the outside sections...I can't tell the numbering system for the center sections.

[-derek33-]

Alright, I'll be at Moreau Lake from Thursday-Sunday, first-timer at SPAC, anything I should know ahead of time? And even though I barely know you bros, if some sort of meet-up happens and you guys could keep me in the loop, that'd be bro-tacular. I realize that doesn't really work, but just thought I'd try to slip one more "bro" in there.

[Josh.0]

There HAS to be a meeting.

SPAC won't happen again for a year. ISO: A plan from Smitt.

excellent, thanks guys. looks like i'll be sitting close to the center aisle in section 4 for n2! woooooooo

i've been in section 4 before but i was all the way on the outside aisle, couldn't see the horns. these seats should be much nicer :banana

[SuffolkDMB54]

So pumped for this weekend!

N1: Section 5 Row D - Thanks 3beams!
N2: Section 7 Row S

I'd be up for a meetup of some kind before one of the shows.

[snyddogg430]

Wasn't planning on going, but just had a friend offer me a ticket to N2. It's on the lawn, but the hype with this being so close to the show, I had to take it. I better dig up my bro-rape gear out of my closet.

just get there early so you can be at the front of the lawn against the gate.

[Rud]

i'll just put it out there now that if we meet up, people better just know that i'm 19 :lol

the people in the past that i've met up with at spac for a few were all blown away. no idea why.

[snyddogg430]

just get there early so you can be at the front of the lawn against the gate.

I've seen DMB at SPAC 7 times, always either pavillion or against the fence on the lawn, so I'm looking to try something different. I think this time I'm just going to sit (or stand) back on the hill and enjoy the whole scene. I'm going to see them two other shows with pretty good seats this summer, so I'm just going to be having a good time.

[Josh.0]

So we're going to have to have a kiddie table and an adult table, I guess. Moses and Rud can sit together that way.

;) I kid I kid

[Emily]

I am not decisive, so I am not the one to do this, but if people don't decide on an actual location and/or exchange cell phone numbers, this meet up will not happen, bros!

[hobbesthecat]

if people want to PM their cell phone numbers to me i'll send out a mass text once Eric, Sean, and I get to SPAC on Friday & Saturday.

maybe send out a PM before that...to, i dunno...decide maybe what to bring?

[Rud]

[Sean]

For our meet up?!

(this probably isn't happening, is it...)
YES! IT WILL HAPPEN!
i might make an appearance if it is in the main lots...

:eek:upyours. i heard that the main lots dont open till 4, is that true? if so, i'm just going to be in the park before the show

let me know what i need to pick up on my end...chips, drinks, etc.what i figure is that we can stop at a grocery store in albany on the way up. i will be bringing a cooler, ladder golf, and bocce (if we end up near some grass)

if people want to PM their cell phone numbers to me i'll send out a mass text once Eric, Sean, and I get to SPAC on Friday & Saturday.

maybe send out a PM before that...to, i dunno...decide maybe what to bring?people can either PM their numbers to hobbesthecat or me, i'm fine with organizing/being central to this. and just so a decision is made, lets do it on friday afternoon.

and just to make it easier, my number is .. please dont abuse that. feel free to call me with any questions like where we're hanging out, etc

[hobbesthecat]

nice Sean

i like your style

wish i had a wegmans t-shirt to rock for the weekend

[Sean]

my cooler isnt going to be enough though, hopefully someone else will bring food and drinks in a cooler.

if you have a portable grill, thatd be great too, but as of right now i'm not counting on food that needs to be cooked

party cups are good to keep the authorities at bay

[Sean]

chris, i just brought a bunch of my old wegmans shirts from home, ive got like 5 of them with me now

[hobbesthecat]

well they actually disappeared for a few months. nothing on tv, nothing on the radio. kinda like he just vanished. but he's back full swing again.

i actually just saw an outtakes commercial on tv a few days ago...was pretty funny.

[jmur]

didnt get the house :( guess the other bidder bid way over the asking price.

[Sean]

i know this may sound lame...but i do miss those dumb ass commercials.
i do too. i was so happy when i saw one last time i was up

[Sean]

oh, and i now have 2 coolers :upyours

[Sean]

ok, so i dont think i'll be getting there till at least 4 tomorrow, so i might just try for the main lot

but if people would rather do this on saturday, thats fine with me. just gotta let me know by replying to this thread. either way, i expect to be tailgating both days and am always up for meeting new people

i'll send a mass text when things get more figured out

[batleon]

So I'm in Section 3 Row U Seats 9-10. That should put me more towards center then, right? Assuming sections on the left side of the chart have seat numbers that start on the left.

just checked into the hotel in Latham, heading up in a minute

[Rud]

sean i'll be there around 5:45-6ish by the route 50 entrance to the actual venue, i'll text you about meeting up to pay for the ticket. it'd probably be easier if we did it inside the venue since it's a lot smaller of an area to search :lol

[Sean]

idk if anybody is reading this thread anymore, but i'll be in the park tomorrow. great to meet a bunch of you, see ya tomorrow

It was great to meet those that I did! :hi Hope everyone had a fantastic time, although really...how could you not. :runaway

Sorry about the lack of communication yesterday, did you ever get a hold of Sean? I was all frazzled because we got there late thanks to blocked entrances and such, and had all we could do to get in by the time THS started. Hope you had a good time! It was nice to meet you N1. :)

You too! No, I never did call Sean, by the time your text came in it was already raining and my buddy and I were just hiding out in the car until it was time to catch THS. Texts were lagging for me in the park, even though I was able to get and receive them just fine in the pavilion. Weird :huh
