Easy come and go.
You seem to forget that they CANNOT close any of it to a single direction below Glennmaura. They cannot shut down a housing developement, business parks, theaters, shopping malls and restaurants to accomodate the traffic. Even with the addition of one lane it will still be nuts. Moosic won't know what hit them...LOL If I was camping and staying I'm sure it would be fun...BUT in my experience it will be idiotic drunkfest of Scranton parade day proportions with the only good people coming from outside the area. You'll be trippin over mountains of empty natty ice, keystone light & miller light cans/bottles and watching trashy drunks from Scranton getting arrested. Might be worth going just to see that...Maybe a mountain bike ride up the backside to listen.

It probably will be great once your inside. I was wanting to take my son to see Zac Brown Band, but not up there. I would rather fly or drive somewhere south to see them.

The Allmans might draw an older crowd, but it will just be the older idiot drunks from town..lol

Just never liked the venue for sooo many reasons. Went to see shows, said I would never go back and did, but Im done at this point. Its still lackawanna county and the security are still idiots and local LEO's and sheriff's are still what they are.

They could just never really handle the place, crowds, etc. like they do at other venues.

Sorry, but you won't be seeing me there no matter how much I want to go.

Literally took me longer then the concert to get off the mountain...

Worst venue I have ever been to and between 150 Dead shows, countless Jerry Band shows, CSNY, Lalapalooza, OzFest and two summer tours with the Black Crows I have been to a lot of venues...That place SUCKS.

PS I really wanted to see The Zac Brown band... You never know if Buffet is going to drop in and he is usualky at his house on Long Island chasing striped bass this time of year, but I refuse to go up there.
I have been going up there since its inception, it did suck for a while, but my last 1/2 dozen times up there were no problem at all... enjoyable.. bring a grill and have a burger after tailgating till the traffic clears out!!
