Renee, Kristie and I went to Summerfest in Milwaukee this weekend. We planned on seeing Sugarland on Friday night and Sara Evans on Saturday night. Well....we did go Friday and we did hear Sugarland, but that was the best we could do. There were benches set up for people that could get the closest and picnic tables behind them. Thanks to the inconsiderate people that were in the last row of benches and were standing on the benches pretty much made it impossible for anybody to see past them.
At one point we were in that row behind the benches but knew we wouldn't be able to see anything there. We did expect people to stand as they always do at concerts but most stand on the ground not on their seats. We didn't bother going back Saturday night. It didn't seem worth it to just listen and not see anything. Think we better stick to the shows that are in the Marcus Amphitheatre and have reserved seating plus security for supervision. These shows were on the free side stages.
