Just noticed this coming up in September in Indianola. Pretty cool that Slipknot is putting this together for. Not much into metal now as I was in high school, but the lineup is pretty sweet, and it's an away game for ISU!

I’ve never been to the balloon grounds. How is it for concert views? Does it have an area with a natural amphitheater shape to the terrain, or is it pretty flat all over?

I think I was there. Was that the one STP was at?

Edit:Nevermind, that was 2008. It was in Indianola though, so had to be the same location.

Epitaph on John Knott
by Anonymous
Here lies John Knott:
His father was Knott before him,
He lived Knott, died Knott,
Yet underneath this stone doth lie
Knott christened, Knott begot,
And here he lies and still is Knott

And here I thought we were finally going to have an Omegaverse thread on Cyclone Fanatic.

It sucks, its a wide open field or at least it was last time I saw a show there 10 years ago. Think oppressive heat and no shade, or a bunch of mud if it's been raining.

Also, IIRC, they had the stage on the top of a hill so the viewing area sloped away. Not a great setup.
