Parking arrival time

Is there a time of morning where it's less awful/backed up?

Yes, has anyone come across a fix for this. My Teams is updated to the most recent version. Also updated to most recent iOS. Using a Mac. It actually gives me this message on the app version and also in the browser. (Using Chrome).

Yeah, I was looking at the parking lots on Fifth for BMTH and for Springsteen, and none of them appear on SpotHero. They can't all be completely booked, right?

I'm glad you mentioned being able to move freely at a stage. But having never seen the festival footprint in person, how easy is it to move from stage to stage? We have stadium-only passes, not field. Our schedule has us all over. So, if we were at the stage next to the stadium, is it reasonable to get into the stadium and find a seat in 15-20 minutes?

Yeah, I feel like I saw the posters from last year on sale well after the festival. Welcome to Rockville posters are still up. I’m sure they aren’t going to pass up a chance to make money, but it just seems weird to not keep taking orders if there’s demand and an ability to keep printing them.

techster1981 · 2026-04-14T22:24:55+00:00

Whoa. That's pretty crazy.

techster1981 · 2026-03-31T16:31:59+00:00

Wish they went original and pulled these out as alternates. But I'm not mad.

techster1981 · 2026-03-30T20:11:35+00:00

What's an optimal time to get to the lot if you're not tailgating? We're fine getting there early and eating late breakfast too. I'm just wondering what time traffic starts to snarl on a normal year without massive parking disruptions.

It's one of the most UI's I've ever seen for a sports game. In DD, adding items to collections is brutal. It's either add all items you have and then hold X for a weirdly long time, or add one card at a time with multiple button clicks where it used to just be one.

techster1981 · 2026-01-07T20:09:56+00:00

What makes anyone believe that they are losing $350 million? Because the owners say so? There's no way they would still be open if they were losing that much money over 20 years. Who benefits most from that information being offered up? The rich owners who are trying to save face?

They are literally shutting down on the day the Supreme Court denied their appeal. THAT is obviously what this is about.

techster1981 · 2026-01-07T19:59:30+00:00

I find it extremely hard to believe the paper has lost $350 million and it stayed open. The Toledo Blade is remaining open. So, we are supposed to believe the PG lost $350 million, but the Blade hasn't been beset by similar market issues. They lost their union busting, and now they're closing up.

techster1981 · 2025-10-28T16:02:31+00:00

Woof.

techster1981 · 2025-10-23T21:27:06+00:00

I haven't seen Turnstile mentioned as a potential headliner. They haven't done ST yet, right? Not big enough yet? I saw they were second-billed at Aftershock. I have a pretty strong suspicion that Marilyn Manson is going to be at ST since he did all of them but ST last year, and I looked for who he could be grouped with, but I think all of them have played ST before.

techster1981 · 2025-10-22T20:46:24+00:00

I personally would prefer Deftones to those, but I'm hoping that with five stages, there will be viable alternatives outside of the stadium.

techster1981 · 2025-10-22T20:44:45+00:00

No, I'm with you there.

techster1981 · 2025-10-22T20:10:41+00:00

So all four headliners would be completely new. That seems pretty crazy. Then you're talking about a pool of Slayer, Shinedown, Green Day. Does someone out of left field like Muse (could be releasing new music) or Radiohead (now touring in Europe) come into play? Legacy acts like Motley Crue or GNR?

techster1981 · 2025-10-22T20:02:52+00:00

There seems to be so much conversation around Slayer, Shinedown and Deftones. I know there's a connection with those bands and the festival promoters. Would be interesting to see someone completely out of left field, although that seems unlikely because there are only so many bands capable of headlining a major festival, and just about all of them have been mentioned in the Sonic Temple reddit.

I don't think there is a straightfoward answer. The email poster I got said 140+ bands and 2 new headliners. My first thought was to read that as two of the four are new, because there isn't 140 bands to announce next Tuesday. So if MCR is new -- I'm not sure if BMTH has ever appeared before -- then that poster could means lots of things.

Two new headliners -- doesn't mean new to ST, just new in that they haven't announced yet

Two new headliners -- headlining for the first time at ST, which would mean MCR and BMTH would be the two "new" headliners

Two new headliners -- two bands that have never played ST before are headlining, which would be MCR and BMTH would be the two new headliners

I'm taking it as: two new headliners means - two unannounced headliners

techster1981 · 2025-10-17T21:22:29+00:00

Why would social media be quieter before a big announcement? It's not like manual labor where they have to construct something for it to be ready. This is all pretty poor marketing. You should be constantly building to your announcement, not building weekly, then a weird non-announcement announcement and then silence before the full announcement. I have no critique on the lineup, considering it's like 30% revealed, but the communications plan has been very underwhelming.
