Yeah, don't ever park in the arena lot. If you are willing to walk a few extra minutes you'll have zero issue getting out.
Sandler in Des Moines tonight
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
Rob Schneider had like two funny moments and then has been the coattail guy for decades.
There's an interview on Conan from maybe 10 years ago with Sandler, Norm, etc. and Rob is like the kid who isn't getting enough attention at the dinner table.

After Water Boy I think I was pretty much spent with 'Sandler' type of comedies.
He thew together some duds but he kept cranking them out because they still made plenty of money and it's always been cool how he would get his friends in there.
Why people park in the main lot for big events is beyond me. There's about 10 other places you can easily get out of if you want to walk 5 minutes instead of 3.
I usually park across the river and walk over the bridge, it's no time at all to get out after an event.

I'll echo some thoughts already stated. Sandler was good. Schneider was weird. First joke was something about "Scamdemic", and shortly later made an immigrant joke. The yokels around us were jacked up and annoying the rest of the night. James was fun, bongo performance was pretty great. About a hundred random short songs from Sandler. Same juvenile humor I grew up with and loved.
When I texted my brother about being at Sandler and if my brother remembered The Goat this was the phrase he texted back.
I have heard Sandler is a good guy. I do like some of his movies, not all of them. He's well connected in Hollywood and is making bank with his production company.
Most people don't know that Sandler (in his very early days) was on the Cosby show as one of Theo's friends. He really took off when he got to SNL.

I'm the exact age where I should absolutely love Sandler, and I did when I was younger. I look back at those movies and skits now and they just aren't funny, probably never were. Happy Gilmore is the exception.

Loved it. Everything I wanted and expected.
I could still sit here watch Billy Madison on repeat all day (just like I did in college once) and laugh my ass off.
I was really surprised how full Wells was.
Stop looking at me swan.

He'll be in Omaha on my birthday and I've lost count on how many subtle hints I've left for the wife in the last month or so.
I was there as well and basically sitting right across from you. I was pumped when Schneider was announced onto stage but he wasn't funny at all which was pretty disappointing. All in all I thought the show was a lot of fun I was just thrilled to be able to see a comedic icon of my generation live. So much mindless stupid humor which I absolutely love.

Never park by Wells Fargo Arena. Never! Grab a street spot or park in a ramp a few blocks south or west of the arena. When you leave head west and get on 235 at Keo and you will zip right out.
He did and it was great.
The place was sold out. I was surprised.
Overall the show was ok, but I left wanting more.
The opening comedian was fine. Schneider's stand up was terrible. Just unfunny. Though when he came out at the end to sing he was amazing.
The Kevin James appearance was the highlight.
Sandler was on for almost two hours, so props to him, but I think he could have shortened it by about 30 minutes and it would have been better. And no Thanksgiving song a week before Thanksgiving (my wife was pissed about not hearing the Hanukkah song)!
Rob Schneider is a political hack now for the people who haven't followed him since 2010. He's entering into the flat earth level of craziness these days so not surprising he wasn't funny.
He was at the Civic Center a year or so ago and I heard people walked out on him.
