Funny, I don't see piles of trash or beer bottles or anything like that. It looks like any field that had lots of people and lots of rain at the same time. (think fairgrounds) I think with a little landscape planning to allow better drainage, a little more care taken to limit where cars and trucks go, this can be a good event with less impact on the area. I don't think Aggie should be crying...he should be working to improve the area for events like this.

It is grass seed. Get those yellow coaters out of downtown and over there workin for a few days with rakes, plant it up and hold twice the event next year with free slip and slides for all. Good god park board. This event has generated a few million dollars in revenue over the past few years. Fix it, thank everyone for coming and paying for a few jobs and shut the eff up!!
It is GRASS. It grows BACK. Parks Board Commissioner my s$$! Get a brain.
Parks are for people. They didn't desecrate anything but grass, which will grow back.
It rained, all day, 55,000 people. what did the parks board expect??? the station is paying to clean it up, have paid 200,000 to the parks dept, donated 50,000 to the liberty memorial. the flame is lighted because of this donation, kc had a hard time coming up with the money to keep the flame lit. all will be good, give em time to plant grass. we will never see 18 pis of look what a good job the station did fixing the damage. we should, but we will not
The park never looked like that until they chased the out. Shame.
Since promotors are footing the bill for the clean up, let's see give them a chance to do so, then publish some pictures. Especially, considering I'm sure the city has already cashed the $250,000 check AEG wrote to hold the event here....as they've done every year...for 11 years.
Great show, as always, but folks, if you've never seen a Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas and you've only seen these traveling shows---go. Go to Vegas, plop down the money and take one in. It will be some of the best 2 hours you will ever spend. These on the road shows are like watching fireworks on tv--pretty but flat and 2-dimensional. Go get that third dimension. It'll knock yer eyes out. Mo Rage The blog
Man my heart was racing lookin' at these photos , seen him in 1992 up here he was great . Waylon will always be startin' storms round their won't he ? Great story and photos "PICK IT MOON "
I've never even heard of that Spanish language station. Pretty sad when a no name AM Spanish language stations lays it down on the other stations in terms of hip vanness.
My God, that Hot 103 van is the the ugliest thing I have ever seen. Hey, don't they have TWO H2 Hummers too? Way to look out for the environment guys. You suck.
98.9's van is a retired MAST ambulance--the old kind with the funny angles visible from the back, characteristic of it's coach maker, Braun Company. I like it. The PT is cool, too, but as I have one, and likely of the same vintage, I may not be an unbiased opinion!
Wow..pretty one-sided coverage by the Pitch photographer. Could you be anymore bias? Where are the real journalist's?
The only diversity I see in that crowd is a startling array of gray.

Thanks for showing the pic's of the whackos with the Rove and Bush signs...and they try to paint the Tea Party folks in a poor light! Honestly, it is time for all Americans Democrats, Independents and Republicans to come together and work together to stop entitlement programs, lobbyists influence of bills, earmarks and put term limits on all politicians, which would cure many of the problems that got us to this huge deficit. We can do better and we must or we will all pay for these mistakes!
I find it ironic that the only "angry" & "hateful" slides on this are by people who hated Bush and are clearly liberals. I don't see any signs that are nearly as nasty on the right-wing side...

How is Funkhouser still the mayor of anything but crazytown?
