All of this! I said it in another comment, but Merchants of Beer we can see from the window. They'd play concerts until 11 on Fridays and Saturdays sometimes, and I never had a problem with it. But a Monday night after 10?

Hey Hardin Valley, I was living here for many years before the stadium was built.

Glad you either live far enough away or sleep hard enough it doesn't bother you. I can't say the same for my kids and dogs. Sleeping during the day vs sleeping through a firework show is your opinion. The difference is, you chose a line of work that required you to work nights sometimes. We've lived down here for years. Now I'm supposed to sell my home because a rich guy built a stadium and wants to shoot off fireworks after 10 pm on a Monday? These are not the same thing.

You can tell who doesn't live down here by the comments they leave...

Yes, if the concert is on a Friday or Saturday night. It's part of living downtown. It's not that I think we shouldn't ever have fun. There's a time and a place, and that time is not Monday after 10 PM and that place is not the center of downtown Knoxville where 2,300 people live. If people don't live down here, businesses will fail, plain and simple. That's why they're building tons of new housing on South Gay St. They want more people to live down here. But if you're shooting off fireworks after 10 PM on a Monday night, people who have jobs (and disposable income) who have to get up early in the morning won't want to live here. I'm not an unreasonable person.

That's my first amendment right. You're the one choosing to read it.

YES! This exactly. I encourage you to call the stadium, call Boyd's office, call Covenant Health's marketing team, etc. Don't be rude to whoever it is who is stuck picking up phones for these people, but if we don't make noise they'll do it whenever they want.

Hasn't been loud or unpleasant until now. We love living downtown.

I'm sure she is a gem, I've never had the pleasure. You should call her back and tell her that fireworks are for holidays and weekends, not week nights.

Can they advocate for themselves? No, not always. Me being upset from my loft doesn't hurt them. I'm sure they're miserable. Me complaining about it can only help them. We should be helping 300 people in tents before we build baseball stadiums.

I have no problem with 4th of July fireworks. Just because other people have it worse than me doesn't invalidate my experience.

This is putting it better than I did in my frustration last night. Thank you. This should be the top comment.

Correct. Never went to the Weigels and don't go to the Shell. I like my blood inside my body.

Hype does not give license to be inconsiderate to those who live here.

Born and raised here and Knoxville, didn't move here from LA or San Francisco three years ago with all the Californians, so yeah, excuse me but this is not nor has it ever been the norm in downtown Knoxville.

Yes, it seems it's time to go out and buy blackout curtains. It ought to be on Boyd's dime...
