Yea apparently a bunch of our neighbors have been complaining to rep parker about them and about a month ago she declared "problem solved, the guys will not be back." I think cops have been doing regular checks on them and confiscating their inventory when they see them. But they're still there every day. The money must be too good to pass up

I really like the Mann, I do. But the lines of sight on the lawn are awful if you're not in front of the cement walkway and the sound is incredibly muddy. The parking attendants this summer at Phish were fantastic, super organized and yelled at appropriate times/volume.

The nitrous tanks are ridiculously out of hand, and while they're also at Camden, it seemed much worse at the Mann. The food options are really limited, too.

Camden has a kind of shifty parking situation if you're not in the close lots, but the sound is WAY better on the lawn, as well as the line of sight. Watching the sun set over Philly during shows on the lawn is such a beautiful addition, and I was kind of miffed that the Mann was chosen again for Phish's summer tour stop in Philly.

That Tweezerfest last summer was fantastic, though.

I’ve noticed something similar, felt like last summer the Mann had over a dozen shows I wanted to see where Camden had maybe 1 or 2 that I was interested in. Seems like the artists have a big preference for the Mann over Camden

Phish for example is choosing to do a 2 night run at the Mann this summer and did the same last summer, when they could’ve booked Camden and sold an extra 10k tickets per night. No idea what the reason could be tho
