Lord of the Flies, Stadium Edition. I went there for the U2 Concert (Awesome concert) and was traumatized by some of the things I saw. Before U2 went on, the lines at the food vendors and the bathrooms were insanely long. Then some of the concession/vendors ran out of water. It was 90+ degrees. You don't run out of water! I heard people frantically exclaim, "if you can find water, buy as much as you can, they are running out!" The lines for the bathrooms were so long I saw people going behind ice machines and urinating publically. There were some porta-potties but there should have been so many more than were available. The lines for the 5 ladies rooms I saw where easily 200 deep. On the floor, the exit and entrance were so blocked with people it was dangerous. People were pushed and being trod upon as they tried to navigate the very narrow stairs. There was some relief from this if you went to the very back of the stadium where you could exit easily. However, you could not enter that way as a security concern. So, even though there was no foot-traffic at the back of the stadium you still had to risk your life going to the sides to enter the floor area. As the night progressed, water (yes, not all stands were out) was sold but the vendors removed the caps as a further security concern. I just used my empty water bottles from earlier removed their caps and reused them. No idea why water was sold earlier with caps and then later they weren't. Seemed so random. I am sure this is a great place to watch a football game but not as a concert venue. You don't have thousands of people trying to enter/exit the field in a football game and the stadium was not designed to do this easily or safely. Go Cards but U2- head to the Yum Center on...
Read moreWorst experience ever asked how to get to the ramp to get to my section not one staff member knew. found it by myself I get to where the seating is and I didn’t know where my seating is so I asked every staff I seen even security and they couldn’t even help me. every single staff member or security I asked to help me find my section and seating they didn’t know nothing it was a bunch of “I don’t know” or “I can’t help you”. worst experience ever I stood at the railing for like 5-10 minutes and had to leave due to everyone wanting to yell at me to get out the way. even when I asked those people they didn’t want too help navigate me to the seats couldn’t even enjoy the football game and to top it off IT WAS MY FIRST TIME. never will I waste money or time to go to this place ever again it is a joke as well as the staff that don’t know nothing just there to get a paycheck. should of known what I was getting myself into going to a college football game unprofessional it was for sure a lesson learned that if ur not paying for front row seats or on the field seating than just stay home and watch it on tv you get the best view close up on the field and can enjoy you’re comfort at...
Read moreI'm sure this is a great place for football and tailgating, but attending the U2 concert here as an out-of-towner was an absolute nightmare. We drove down from St. Louis and were literally stuck in traffic longer than it took to drive to Louisville. We missed One Republic entirely because we were sitting in front of the stadium for an hour waiting for the people attempting to direct traffic to let us through to park. The venue was extremely understaffed and disorganized. It's no joke, this venue is dangerous and probably a huge liability. If you were to have a medical emergency in this mess, you'd be dead. I feel sorry for any first responders trying to navigate this place. No one was watching the sections, there were no attendants to ask for help, you were on your own in a mass of people. One person shoving as people were coming in/out/down and there could've been fatalities. Luckily, there was a nice breeze and people were generally cool and looking out for one another, or it could've been very bad. The concert itself was wonderful, thanks to U2 and their fans, but I will never go to this...
