Mercedes Benz Stadium Issues
Aug 2, 2022, 11:35 PM
|
|
FYI - Daughter and I attended the Luke Combs concert this past weekend at Mercedes Benz stadium. They appear to have major staffing shortages, much like many businesses today. Gates were supposed to open at 5 PM. But, it was 5:40 PM before anyone was allowed in. Not all doors were open. Opening act went on at 6 PM. Many people missed both the first and second performers, took an hour or so for some folks to get inside. Concession stands understaffed, wait times of 30-45 minutes. I pray they get this corrected before GA Tech game!

or don't go to stadium concerts for subpar artists

Last country concert I went to in a stadium had George Strait, Tim McGraw, The Dixie Chicks and Kenny Chesney. Bet my ticket wasn't even half of what Luke Combs was getting.

They were in Clemson…I was at that concert. Tim and Kenny were not even huge acts at that time. Up and coming but not close to as big as they ended up being.

We already have immigration policies that work. I think you meant to say you wish we had immigration policy enforcement

Net immigration is cratering.
There is a massive shortage of workers for positions normally filled by immigrants.
But racist mouth-breathers would rather complain about their favorite restaurants being closed preventing them from getting their double-stuff deep fried twinkie cakes than support better immigration policies that make legal immigration faster.

And they called the cops and the police told them there is nothing they can do and go home…..heard it was a fiasco.

I was there as well. It was a nightmare

My first time at an event there and probably my last. The staff that was there was rude and unhelpful. I was extremely disappointed and surprised. We waited in line outside the stadium for 45 minutes.

I try to avoid Atlanta like the plague. Last time I went to
Aug 3, 2022, 8:05 AM
|

a Braves game a guy was threatening to jump from an overpass and backed traffic up for 3.5 hours (so we missed the first 5 innings) and then coming home we stopped at the wrong place to get gas and felt like i was about to be apart of an upcoming episode of "First 48" on A&E. But I will say the kids love the Aquarium.. thats about all ATlanta is good for in my opinion.

Lanta is the kind of place you don't want to be, alone.

Or with somebody. I have passed through ATL twice in the last 20 years. I didn't stop so I wouldn't leave something to go back for. Lord willing, I'll never go to Atlanta again.

Don't worry. It's a Georgia Tech home game. There will be less GT fans there than a Luke Combs concert.

Obviously you and your daughter survived, and you didn't mention getting beat up, threatened or mugged.
Your trip to ATL was a success.

With all of the staffing shortages, what I want to know...
Aug 3, 2022, 9:26 AM
|

is how are all of the people who previously worked in those capacities now earning a living and paying their bills?

I went to the Luke combs concert Saturday night also. Did not have any issues getting in. Did not have any issues at the concessions areas. The best concession prices anywhere and I have been to many stadiums and arenas. All night refillable sodas for $2.00 & 4.00. Hot dogs and popcorn for $2.00 each.
Awesome cheeseburger for $5.00. Chicken strips and fries for $6.00. Pizza slices for $3.00 All stadiums and arenas should follow this pricing structure. A great venue overall.

So I'm guessing you gained about five pounds? Those are good concession prices. That's something Arthur Blank does right

Oh so maybe this is part of the reason why seating capacity
Aug 9, 2022, 1:27 AM
|

for our game against Georgia Tech was reduced.
Perhaps it isn’t simply because Tech was scared we would have more fans than they would.
