Thunder over louisville

[DJD]

Couldn't pay me to go to thunder ever again. attended 1 time back about 7 years ago and thought it was the biggest waste of my time ever. Stayed for the sake of the family, but you couldnm't pay me to attend it again....And i do mean it.....

Is it the crowd? The show?

[Fishin is life]

I've been once in person also about 7 or 8 years ago....Was trying to walk through the shoulder to shoulder crowd when a skinhead said something to a couple gangbangers and a fight broke out...I was literally 3 feet from them when a gun got pulled and aimed in my direction and I absolutely couldn't move...To top it all off the cops couldn't get through the crowd to get to the guys for about 5 minutes so all i could do was stand there and watch....pretty sure i had a small piss dribble runnin down my leg....That was my first and last time I will ever attend thunder

Same here for me...I went "once"...back in the 1990's sometimes...it was "ok", just not into that sort of thing. ain't been back since.

But watching the practice air show on the day before Thunder is pretty cool...just glad I'm an American when I see those jet's flying around like they do, they're definitely bad azz...

We have season tickets for the Bats, and I'm telling ya, if you ever want to go to Thunder, Slugger Field is the way to go. I think tickets for the game on Thunder day are about $30, and you get a wristband so you can come and go all day, and you can watch the fireworks from the stadium, an excellent vantage point. PLUS you have a seat to sit down whenever you want, without having to stake out your little square on the great lawn or whatever, and most importantly a clean bathroom! Parking in the season ticket holders' lot is only $5, but of course you have to get there real early, it fills up quick.

Thunder doesn't cost the city any money, all the costs, including police overtime, are paid for by the KY Derby Festival Corp., which, despite all the sponsors, loses money on it almost every year.

Oh, but think about this...who pays the wages to the people Running the Derby City Festival Corp....?

Uh, the Corporation does, who else? Here's a quote from their website: "The Kentucky Derby Festival, Inc., is a private, not-for-profit corporation served by a professional staff of 22 and governed by a 75-volunteer board."

Stop with the facts RT, you will give Mills a headache. He still thinks his money pays for college basketball players scholarships despite the fact that none of it is true.

No I think that was me! Nope it was Clyde.........

Roadtoad's a fairly factual dude so I'll take his word on that.

Busting chops day huh...........

I see how it works. I'll store that one in my hip pocket and then unleash a fury upon thee when the time is right. Will it be football season, or will it be basketball season? Or could I do the unthinkable and drop it during a women's lacrosse thread? You can begin losing sleep now........

I do fall in line with most of what RoadToad posts. Perhaps it's because we are both in the healthcare field. He usually does allow facts to get in the way of an argument!

PSP, I think you only mentioned it once and then when I told you how athletic scholarships were funded you understood. Mills is convinced all his tax money funds the city of Louisville and the University of Louisville, both are places he despises, yet we can't get him back across the river where he belongs!

Mark, I don't think prowler was implying that at all.
