Went to the Blake Shelton concert yesterday and he put on a great show, but SW was too stick on the audience for a concert. No one was allowed to stand up to take a pictures, dance around to the music, or basically even at the end of the songs to show they were enjoying the songs! Granted I hate it when someone stands up and dances the whole concert, but he didn't come back and do an encore like most groups do because the crowd wasn't even able to have fun with him and show it. LOL I think it was because one older woman got "bitchy" when people stood up and hooted and holllared when he came on to the stage. When secutrity didn't come up to her, she went down to the CM near us. Went back up to her seat in a huff cussing a blue streak and rudely hit/bumped into a person sitting in an aisle seat because she didn't like what was said to her. Later she was down talking to a deputy. So if ya go to a concert ya have to sit down like you are in the school gymnasium and be good. LOL Hope that changes next week . It seemed to just be 1 person working for SW that was telling everyone to sit down---maybe just going overboard on her job so hopefully they take her off crowd control.
They didn't have as many stands set up to buy BBQ this year. Just a few on the sidewalk to the stadium and the all you can eat BBQ at what used to be the hospitality house. We opted for the BBQ beef sandwich platter. It was a large sandwich( hoagie size) but it was not the traditional brisket slices like Smokey Creek served and like they served at the stands. It reminded me of the BBQ beef you can buy in a can and was not that good. The bake beans had no flavor-sort of just hot pork and beans with a little mustard. Definitely not BBQ baked beans or even country style. Next week I won't be buying the BBQ( don't eat ribs so not sure how good they were but someone said they were $24.99 for the baby back which seems high)
Checked out where Smokey Creek used to be. Serves pizza only for $5.99 or $6.29. Not sure if you still get the french fries like they served at Voyagers with it, but I think you do.
Checked out Voyagers and basically just the pork BBQ ribs and BBQ chicken . No beef bbq on the menu which was my favorite. . No prices on the big sign so not sure how much anything costs. On the main sign it doesn't say anything about combos and I didn't go in the serving line where the other board is so not sure if they serve combos.
Crowds seemed down but the stadium was full for the concert. They were pretty well organized on how the line was let in for the concert, too so there wasn't a stampede for seats. Saturday Kenny Rogers. Can't imagine what that concert will be like after the upbeat Blake concert but I will be there. LOL
