Is that big private lot (the first right) off the ramp still there?

Nice. I’m always afraid someone is going to purchase the land and build an office park on it.

For any first timers who wonder how bad general parking is. I have gotten out of New England Patriot games with 65,000 people all trying to get to the highway quicker than i have gotten out of the Mansfield free lots back in 2013 the one time i didn't buy a premier parking pass. Premier Parking or VIP parking is a must.

Agreed. We won't be able to get to Mansfield this year, but if you don't pay for the parking, you're gonna wish you had...

That said, one of the ants regs said he was in a premium lot and was still stuck in there for more than an hour...closer to two...

I always leave before the encore so I can avoid the mess after. Not worth it.

Same. I don’t think I’ve stayed for an encore for any concert there since 2005.

Shhhh! Don't tell people that otherwise they'll all be leaving during the encore.

should we have an Emmas Pizza meet up before gates open?

hoping this is a good question, might be a silly question but do they serve Treehouse in Mansfield now? They do at Gillette, which is 20 minutes away. Thanks. By the way, there is a Wormtown Brewery at Gillette now, FYI for you out-of-towners coming in.

Lol good point.

I always take it as a win if I’m on the main road before the tour busses

Haha also past few years encores are not worth the traffic

Encores are definitely a sore subject the last few years

There was a legit two step that closed a show back in the two sets years

One of the few non acoustic two step that year

2012 and 2013 shows were awesome in my opinion

I might talk myself into going but I'll regret going to that hellhole

2018 was rough but I think they actually went over the 11pm curfew.

Didn’t the LL make their return at Mansfield?

I know what you mean. The more I travel to to other venues, the more I realize that Mansfield is nothing special. The absolutely laughable part of it is that supposedly it was "modeled" after SPAC.

I only live 10 minutes away, so it's really tough to ignore the place. Plus, the set in 2016 really was a disappointment to say the least.

2013 stands out for me too, but the 2010 shows were the best I've seen there IMHO. I really wish they would release those 2 as a Live Trax, or take the "best of" from those shows.

Are you the reason I can’t cut though downtown Mansfield to get to the venue anymore?

I don't think so. I don't live in Mansfield and drive on I495 to get there. My guess is that there has been a lot of growth in Mansfield (i.e. condos and Apartments) near the train station as well as Mansfield Commons and the industrial park and that generates a lot of traffic during rush hour.

Yeah. It used to be a great cut through to skip the highway completely. And I would stop and eat at some pup downtown but Waze started taking everyone that way and it became a problem for the neighborhoods.

That is key!!! Make it out before the busses.

Edit: I feel like the crappy encores have a been a gift to us that want to leave before the busses. I don't hate them for that.

I usually let E1 start then decide if I’m leaving

With the strict 11pm curfew it’s easy to guess what’s closing usually
