in private, do the 995ers ever circle back to the shit they got wrong and own it?
99% of us don't have an offline backchannel to any of them
anyone who does, would be curious to know without naming names
comment: my first thought about seeing stroh on the list is he has been told he's shirting and portaling
and if that's the case, his demise is not his fault
@Hookemaussie who is your AFL side?
where do you live in Australia?
are you flying QF7 SYD-DFW?
is austin one destination as part of a larger us itinerary?
please share your flight details and dates of arrival/departure
europe does 1000-year-old structures with large crowds just fine
we can't even manage with a venue that's not yet 100
if line in the sand is not drawn now, just wait until the ASSWATER starts leaking in to those fancy new suites.....
at that point all of you "just bend over and take it" crowd will have no fight left to fight
the cigars will just take it home and home and fuck the fair and whatever years are left on their contract
the cotton bowl opened in 1930
you have 4 years to stop the tide of enshittification before the corporates take away your opportunity to swim in ASSWATER
the current deal runs through 2035 but it can be walked from at anytime
there won't be any shitshow after 2030 if the big money gets tired of the charm
no one is asking for five-star amenities
the state fair corporation makes a lot of money that pays a lot of people a shit load of salary for working one month a year
it's time they are held accountable
everyone whining about the complainers and expecting everyone to just roll over and accept enshittification can eat a bag of dicks
starting in and returning to lexington, this itinerary has 9 potential events based on your personal criteria, with just under 7 hours total drive time
the opening segment of 136 miles consumes almost 3 hours of the drive time
this friday 17 november lexington solar times are:
0748 sunrise
1856 sunset
the final event closes at 5pm so with 2 hours of lost daylight, to spend adequate time at each stop requires a pre-dawn departure from lexington

as for all of the other issues, the $150m renovation did very little to nothing to help with the problems the fair refuses to solve - it's a 501(c)3 that refuses to spend the money needed to make the product acceptable, safe, and equitable
the deathstar is not the solution
threatening to go home and home is the only thing that will get results
sorry, hate to say it, but paying hundreds of $ to stand in urine, with no access to water, and an un-managed crowd situation is no longer acceptable this deep in to the 21st century
cdc can fix this real fast
the tower will issue an edict as follows:
any student, faculty or employee of The University, visually documented in a _SECTION_ of the cotton bowl for which they do not have tickets, will be suspended from entry in to or purchase of tickets to ut athletic sporting events for 10 years (or something draconian)
then, all you have to do is take pics with your phone and email them to belmont
the offenders can appeal - maybe they were in the wrong row - but 2 incidents in the same section draws the punishment
the zoomers have become conditioned to publishing their own version of reality and the people that run the fair give zero fucks what cdc says
it's come to this - wage war on our own students to preserve this tradition in this stadium
