UPDATE: Okay, I am wrong once in awhile. I talked to some concert goers a bit ago. They told me several positive things, so I am trying to save face. They said the parking was fine, that the lines at concessions moved fast, and it was truly sold out. They also said the bathrooms (mens) went smooth. They said the only negative was that the women’s bathrooms had long lines.
Hey, KDLT, I posted about this in July, glad you finally woke up and did a story about it. I was a little off in my post, it was a date change instead of a location change. I will have to give them credit though, they were the only local MSM to report about the change that had been rescheduled months ago;
Going to a high school football game is supposed to be fun. But, for the Washington Warriors and Huron Tigers, Thursday night’s game lost its luster. The game was rescheduled from Friday to Thursday thanks to a sold-out concert at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center.
City leaders claim there is enough parking around the events center for big events. Their latest request to have this football game rescheduled though proves there might not be enough spots to go around if there is more than one event taking place.
Sue Crell, concerned parent said, “During the discussion time when they were thinking of building the premier center and the whole nine yards, issues about the parking were always brought up.”
If the city is worried about 1,500 fans affecting the parking at the EC, we are going to have some issues. I suspect parking tonight out there will be a nightmare. Good luck Aldean fans.
The funny part is that the city probably wants parking issues at these sold out events so they can push for a parking ramp at the location. I guess city employees have even joked (rumor) about building a ramp in administration meetings. I think the comment was, “We’ll just build a ramp in a couple of years.”
