I am parked in small a lot off Zachory Taylor across from Pan American Stafuim. There are a handful of other cars here. Will I be good?

Drying up at all or is it a slosh?


It's not that bad or crowded yet. It's sloppy but no crazy. I have old tennis shoes on and am still dry.

Sloppy conditions and they really need to do something about the food/drink ticket lines. 30 minute wait in each. Good food all around and the teams are energetic and friendly. ETA: 2:30.

Have a question about my ticket, it says GA single day 28 Mar14 4:00PM on the stub.

Would those tickets be good for today since it's GA or only for yesterday? Or is that the start time of the event?

The festival filled in with the quickness. At first it was 5 drink min waits now it is like 30min+ waits.

So nobody knows if my single GA tickets are good for both days or just one? GA single day 28 Mar14 4:00PM on the stub.

I'm headed there now and would be pissed if I get to the gate and they were just for yesterday. I didn't use them yesterday.

A single day pass for the 28th, I'd guess no. Today is the 29th

Overall solid food. Beverage stands were unprepared for the crowds

Yeah, that was all a shite show between 12:30 and 3:00. I got there around 1:15 and it was a good 25 deep to get food/drink tickets and then at least 30 deep at the drink lines. They lost out on a bunch of $$$ with that situation.

Overall a great event. I loved the food and interacting with the people in the booths. Lots of great team names, etc.
Weather was outstanding. Like so many N.O. events, it's just got to find out how to best handle it's growing pains as everything seems to get bigger every year with stuff like this.

They needed to have more places to buy tickets. We were out there by 12:30 and the ticket lines were already 30 minute waits.

I agree. It seems like they just get handcuffed with the weather every year. If you walked out of the pavilion and went left it was a complete cluster frick. There were about a dozen booths that were suffering from being off the concrete path in the middle of a mud pit. Food was great but they need to separate the alcohol from the water & soft drinks. There's was too many choice when you get up there so people take forever deciding between multiple beers, teas, mixed drinks, etc. Those lines were easily 30-40 minutes long.

Not sure what happened. Last year there was no problem at all getting food/drinks, and it was crowded. Oh well, its all for a great cause regardless. I'm sure they will tweek things to help alleviate this issue next year.

There were people outside of the booths selling drink and food tickets. We had no problems
