Metallica at JMA dome Syracuse

[Goin Breakdown]

Anyone going?

I'm wondering if SxTx and Pantera are playing indoors, or in the parking lot like last year Metallica tour. Also. Anyone know what parking is like there?

I wonder what the average age would be of an attendee at a Metallica concert these days

[Goin Breakdown]

Average?  40?  Fine by me if so.

I’ve almost doubled in age from when I saw them 34 yrs. ago. So surely Sr. Citizens will be head banging there.

No doubt they will be. Then off to the Chiro the day after.

I’m 64 and saw them at the Ralph a few years back … I’m sure I’m above average though 😂

I’d say 50-60 range. Probably younger was grunge and then Metallica went all “load”. I know I ditched after Black album. That said, Testament are down under in June 🙌

I'll be there bra, meet me in the parking lot. I'll be wearing a Dipset T, ya dig?

Korn was 30-45. But still amazing.

I'll be there.

 

For anyone not familiar with the Dome it is woefully unequipped for a crowd of this size, so be prepared for concourses even worse than the Ralph during halftime as far as crowd density.

I'll just stay in my seat. Thanks for the heads up. I'm not a huge Pantera fan so maybe I'll dip out during their set

I thought it ended up going a lot more smoothly than I predicted, at least in the area around where I was sitting, 117.

 

Definitely got crowded at times but concessions and bathrooms seemed to be pretty manageable all night.

 

How was anyone else's experience?

The whole thing was awesome until the shuttles at the end. Still I would go to that show again knowing the nightmare of what was to come after. The one thing I wish was that suicidal got a better mix. Sound man did them no favors. If you were familiar with ST then you might have been lost as to what was going on, but  I know their songs well so I was able to follow along fine.

I heard the shuttles after the convert was a 💩 show. Sorry for the people who had to deal with that. I was lucky enough to be able to have the wife drop me off early and then come pick me up about an hour after the show ended so I didn't have to deal with any of the post show traffic nightmares.

 

Agree about ST. Their sound was terrible. Not a massive fan but I know a handful of their songs. I might have been kind of tuned out by then but I didn't even realize they played Subliminal until I saw the setlist the next day. Not sure why the sound was so jacked up for them but then ok for Pantera and very good for Metallica.

No argument here.
