When Live Nation spends nine days setting up two stages and fencing off the Royal Fields in Gardet, friends, Meg and Denny Myers embraced their circumstances and threw a party.  None of us went for the music but to witness the whole scene. Their apartment had a perfect bird's eye view of both stages and a front row seat to watch the police escort out the drunks and fighters. The music was loud from the apartment... I cannot imagine actually being on the field. 
field entrance
blocks long line to enter... and a brisk business selling ponchos

stage 2
this is for you, Jerilyn, unfortunately grills were not allowed on the field... Weber or otherwise
the black tents on the right are the 'jail', the white truck on the left covered with a canvas is first aid.  The main stage is in the background with the 'smoke'
someone got a lot more than his ticket paid for...
the Myer's VIP area... warm, dry, good food and friends!
