We just got home from attending the Syracuse Rally. It was quite an experience. We were fortunate to get a good camping spot in the brown lot which was very convenient for walking to the entrance gates.
I know many had frustrations and annoyances. Four couples we know were at the Mall and actually preferred it. They had good WIFI available, a choice of restaurants if they wanted to eat out and did not have any complaints about the shuttles once they got running. Also they were relieved to be parked on asphalt with no worry about getting stuck and no mud to contend with.
I think the organizers and volunteers did a great job. Thanks to G.S. and C.W. for putting on this rally in the N.E.
Please don't even consider Wayne Newton for another concert. I don't have any idea what his fee was, but he should be embarrassed collecting anything for himself. I felt sorry for his band and the singers.
