Calm down Tampa. Prices are already high and it wasn't that crowded.

today was much worse by the Acura once RCHP started. People just standing in the walkway like a bunch of clowns. Up until then it was fine

I feel sorry for the poor bastards who showed up to listen to some gospel or traditional jazz and got caught up in a refugee camp.

And OP is right, one of these days something will set off a panic and scores, if not hundreds, will be killed.

Jazz Fest is really easy to move around at when you know what you're doing and you're sensible about it.

When Dave Matthews played, I listened to him from Verna Street outside the fest.

Couldn't see him perform but could hear him loud and clear.

Someone from my childhood neighborhood had in laws that lived on that street.

Problem is, there's no longer a real cap on the number of visitors. Used to be there were X number of hotel rooms.

But now with AirBnB and such shite exploding, there's no limit to the number of tourons in the city.

So it took until 2016 for New Orleans festivals to explode in popularity?
