I only caught a handfull of shows here but what a fun place to be for a show. I caught the last shows where they allowed camping in the lots. A good idea with the camping wristbands. Not sure how well that worked as I wasnt camping. The venue was so cool. I have been to every corner but the best spot for me was in the back row of the bleachers. No matter what the weather held, there was a great energy there inside and outside the place.

 

Cal Expo - No BBQ's in parking lot

I think it was the 8/12/91 show at Cal Expo. It was hot and dry and the signs said no BBQ's in the parking lot. My buddy and I ignored that and fired up the hibachi. Sometime after we ate we knocked over the hibachi and started the tall dead grass in the lot on fire. Flames were going to spread under the cars! It was hilarious only after we put it out with every fluid we had in and on us!
