Had some friends from work at the Thursday show. Concert let out around 945, one group didn't get home until after 2. Took them over two hours just to get on a shuttle to get to the car. The few shuttles had to take the same route as everyone else leaving, so they were just sitting in traffic as well. Then they had to drop off and try and get back.

Another group had parking passes nearer the venue, but once they got in the car, they just had to sit. They didn't get home until close to 1.

Add to all that, just getting there got backed up onto the highway with nowhere to go. One lane in, one lane out. They can't even use two lanes to get in and out because they have to keep one clear for the shuttles.

I've been to big events all over the country and this sounds like the worst traffic management I've ever heard of. You just can't have 10,000+ people, 3-4000 vehicles going into one spot from one direction on one road, with one lane each way. It's not like you can take several roads to get in and out from different directions. It didn't sound like there was anything that could be done differently, they just need more roads and lanes to get in and out. Until then, it will always be a shit show.
