Logistical issues for Phish @ Dick's this year
Forums:
As a result of concerns about the plague and prarie dogs in the area, it looks like camping is unlikely if not a definite no.
Likewise, this might put the kibosh on one of the biggest shakedown scenes in Colorado.

Over the last few weeks,
Over the last few weeks, Phish fans have been wondering how Colorado’s bizarre spat of plague-infected prairie dogs will affect their camping arrangements at Phish’s Labor Day run at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
In an August 19 meeting, the Commerce City Council officially ruled that the event will go on, but with no vendors and limited camping, noting how there is a concern that dirt areas of the campground could contain plague-infected fleas.

"plague-infected prairie dogs" is a pretty good band name.

In terms of "logistics" from a phan's perspective, the big question is when will there be a "cut-off" for on site parking; forcing attendees to park at a remote location?
Without an official shakedown, will hoards of "people" still show up early, or will there be a big cluster.f @ 5-6pm?

Due to the ongoing issues affecting local prairie dog colonies, many of the non-paved lots at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park (DSGP) are unavailable for concert parking. While there will be a significant amount of parking available at DSGP, some off-site parking will be required.
Please keep the transportation recommendations below in mind when coming to the stadium.
CARPOOLING
As always, we strongly encourage fans to carpool. Carpooling with 4 or more people per car will greatly alleviate the pressure on parking capacity at the stadium.
FREE OFF-SITE PARKING
There will be FREE off-site parking available at The Northfield Mall (roughly 1 mile from DSGP), located at 8340 Northfield Blvd. in Denver — The Northfield Mall is adjacent to Interstate 70 and 270 and is accessible from Quebec Street and Central Park Blvd. by taking Northfield Blvd.
Shuttle Pick Up/Drop Off Locations:
The attached Northfield Mall map shows the area reserved for parking and shuttles on the east side of the mall by the Off Broadway Shoes Warehouse (Corner of Valentia St. & 48th Avenue). Signage will lead you to exact parking areas and shuttle pick up. The shuttle drop off and pick up at DSGP will be at the same location, directly on the south side of the stadium on Valentia Street.
Shuttle Times Between Northfield Mall Lots and DSGP:
The Northfield Mall Lots will open at 2:00 PM each show day and continuous shuttling will begin at that time. The last shuttle will leave DSGP at 1:30 AM back to Northfield Mall.
The first 300 cars to park at Northfield Mall each day will receive a free commemorative Phish Colorado branded 32-oz wide-mouth Nalgene refillable water bottle.
UBER / LYFT / TAXI
The route to the rideshare pick up/drop off area is Quebec Street to Prairie Parkway. Type “Dick’s Sporting Goods Park” into your app as your destination, and drop offs will be located at Victory Way/60th Avenue. After the show, the pick up location will be on the west side of the stadium at Victory Way/60th Avenue. You will still use your app to request a ride as normal. The DSGP map denotes the drop off and pick up areas. Signage will be placed outside the stadium for directional assistance.
PRIVATE BUS / PRIVATE SHUTTLE / PRIVATE LIMOUSINE
Drop off and pick up will be located in DSGP Parking Lot C and accessed from 56th Avenue and turning onto Valentia Street.
MAPS / FEES / BOX OFFICE HOURS
You can view maps here and here. These DSGP map highlights the areas above as well as the attached General Parking areas. DSGP parking areas will open at 3:00 PM each day. Parking costs $20.00 per vehicle (cash option) or $15.00 per vehicle (credit card option).
The Dick’s Sporting Goods Park Box Office will open:
• Wednesday, August 28 from 10 AM – 5 PM
• Thursday, August 29 from 10 AM – 5PM
• Friday, August 30 at 3:00PM
• Saturday, August 31 at 3:00PM
• Sunday, September 1 at 3:00PM
Please note that all camping, overnight parking and vending will be prohibited at DSGP and at the Northfield Mall off-site shuttle areas.
Thanks again for your cooperation!

I was supposed to be buying a pair of Dorothy Gale ruby shoes at Off Broadway but maybe I can catch the bus to the Fish show?

Only the Fish could pull that one off.

Have always thought it was an interesting price differential between cash and credit. I asked once and they claimed it's for the security of the attendants ... less cash in hand. But would believe it's likely more a way for powers above to control skimming.
