    If you go, bring PLENTY of money. Parking is very, very, costly. Obviously, the bands play short sets as a result of so many bands performing during the three day event. It’s an outdoor event so weather can be an issue. Overall if outdoor events are your thing and you don’t mind dropping a large amount of cash, it’s worth checking out. Also, the venue is not as large as the pictures portray it to be. The small stadium is mostly used for the Columbus pro soccer team in which attendance at the games is minimal.

      I agree! Parking is $20 per day and yes you have to pay it every day. Biggest ripoff! Alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages along with food have outrageous prices. The sound quality in the stadium is absolutely horrible! I’ve seen concerts there several times including rotr. Trust me you’re better off buying your favorite bands dvd to watch at home. Short sets, multiple bands playing at the same time. So two of your favorite bands could be on stage at the same time which sucks. And the worst thing about it is that EDDIE TRUNK IS NOT THERE!!!

    Saw Axl there a few years ago and it was cold and rained all day. It was a good time, though. This lineup is very solid!
