We were talking to head of security at the stadium. I don’t know if this is all true but he said the liquor license for the event didn’t start until 5:00 so they couldn’t let people into the stadium until 5:00, even if they were not pouring. He said if they had a liquor license that started at 4:00 they could have started to let vip in at 4:30 but then waited until 5:00 to start serving.

I'm torn about the location - it had a lot going for it, especially parking (though, having to loop all the way around to get access to the lot was not intuitive. I could see this type of event just totally taking over Parcel 5 downtown, however. Of course, the problem there is controlling access to a big open space. However, having more space for lines to the breweries would definitely be helpful, and I feel like a parcel 5-like space would be conducive to that. I know there were several breweries that I ended up not sampling because the lines were really long and somewhat haphazard (i.e., I didn't want to inadvertently cut in front of someone.) But all in all, I thought it was a fantastic event, really great beers, and my group of friends who attended all seemed to have a great time. Great job!
