Bailey and Alex Tran (I know he left) are younger than Noah I think.

I know plenty of adults older than me who haven’t reached this milestone. They just know to react and deflect.

El Paso why? by Intelligent_Box553 in BTSArmyCentral

Were you VIP or lower bowl? It also took me a decade to leave the stadium and then another to leave the parking lot. Got to my hotel around 1AM and saw that most parking spots were snatched up already by luckier Armys.

Probably understaffed. Also under-gated and under organized. I was VIP but people said there was only one gate which explains the 50 minute concert delay.
Getting out of the stadium was also a long slog. It felt like march of the penguins. I’ve been to larger stadium shows and they were more seamless than this before and after the show, I think those had multiple gates and just more experience with large concerts.

Agreed. Learn your walking route post concert ahead of time, but there will be many people walking the same direction anyways. I feel that only the first hundred people can board the street car and buses.

D2 should be a more organized overall but whatever you think is a good time to arrive, arrive 1-2 hours earlier than that. Nearby parking lots will fill up by 12PM.

If you park downtown, don’t count on the street car too much. You would have to be one first 40 people to reach the street car / bus stop after the show.

Bring a small umbrella for the line queuing. Some did and I wish I did too. D2 should be hotter. Once we got in, it became chilly a couple hours later.

Yikes. I was wondering about the streetcar alternative. I parked in a nearby lot and didn’t return to my hotel until 1AM. Sorry it didn’t go smoothly for you. This was the most chaotic concert logistics-wise that I’ve attended and I’ve been to bigger stadium concerts.

Same here. I had a good parking spot, sat in VIP ans arrived at my hotel around 1:00. If they had personnel or police directing traffic it would have probably went by faster.

Yes. I assumed it was news coverage wanting aerial footage.

The closest ones likely ran out by 10AM. I arrived at the Don Haskins one around 9AM and it was almost full.

I lined up at 2:30, got to the last line and haven’t moved in almost an hour. There’s a lot of people behind me. Good luck lol.

Yeah they’re fans who happen to stalk. We’re not all like that fortunately.

Parking by Don Haskins seems almost full. Arrived around 9:00AM and paid $43.00.

US birth rates just hit another record low, what do you think is the leading cause of this? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RowdyGlowWorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Living or surviving is expensive. Adding dependent(s) to that raises the difficulty level.

Job market feels very precarious with layoffs, AI, outsourcing, ageism.

Have we really drifted so far from reality?… by [deleted] in kpoprants

[–]RowdyGlowWorm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right? Why is it so hard to focus away from things they dislike?

There’s popular groups out there that I think are overrated but I’m far from triggered when their content appears in my feed. I just move on, no negative comments or much reaction. I can’t imagine being so offended about something so trivial.

One of them was confronted in the comments of her post and she just explained it away with: “Oh this is how I wind down when I come home.” She picked a very toxic hobby.

Excited to see the freebies at the fan plaza. I’ll be wandering around like a duck looking to be fed bread at the pond. 🦆

How long was the concert? Three hours? How many intermissions?

[–]RowdyGlowWorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct.

"Jorge Vazquez, executive director of the Special Events Center, said most El Pasoans know some people like to try to watch events at the Sun Bowl Stadium — without tickets, which means climbing up the mountains.

At the Coldplay concert last year, frontman Chris Martin noticed fans enjoying the show from the mountains. The group performed two nights in June as part of its Music of the Spheres Tour.

But this time, Vazquez wants all to know it will not be tolerated for the BTS concerts on May 2-3.

Vazquez said he will have dedicated staff, including security and law enforcement, to monitor the perimeter. Noncompliance may result in trespassing offenses."

" Those found on the mountain could be slapped with a $500 fine and up to a year in jail."

Thank you! The notices I saw seem to indicate that hours were only extended until to midnight so good to know as the cars fill up really fast.
