30,000 people? To put that in perspective Meadowbrook seats 8,300 people. The Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester seats approx. 12,000 people. Boston Garden seats 20,000 people! Gillete stadium seats approx. 60,000 people!

They said they would bring in 30,000 people? For 1 night? With what infrastructure? There is NO PARKING! NO TOILETS! NO FOOD & WATER! Lets not mention that 30,000 people dumping out of a concert into the Weirs would cause an AMAZING traffic jam during BIKE WEEK!

Do you really think the LPD could keep a handle on a crowd that large?

The parking issue really isn't solvable... unless you lease lots and bus people in. The infrastructure issue could be solvable... but I cannot imagine the stink from the amount of Porta potties needed!

So now we have 2 washed up bands playing 2 nights... IF they get 5000 people to PAY to see Quiet Riot I will be shocked! I truly hope they leased the Drive In for what the Baldi's would have made in Bike Week revenue from vendors and parking! If they settled on a take from the ticket gate... I think they will be sadly disappointed!

Maybe the town of Laconia can fill in the lake around the Weirs to make room for more parking.
