6. Have you heard if they are going to run shuttle buses?

If I remember correctly this is where Rock-fest was held...I am question the 50,000 mark...any ideas?

7. That park holds 50,000 easy

Not all those 50,000 will be able to see him since it is a long and narrow park. But they had 50,000 for Blues Fest and Spirit Fest more than once.

Now will 50,000 be there tomorrow? Who knows. But remember when he came to KC last winter, they filled up that side room in Municipal Auditorium and had almost as many people standing outside who couldn't get in. I know more people who didn't get in to that rally than people who got in. I was inside and it was unreal, there were so many people.

I haven't heard anything about shuttles. But the bus runs regularly up and down Main.

I am going to try to park at the Hallmark lot since it is closest. Then Union Station. If they are full, we will go over to a friend's office at 31 and Main and walk from there.

The entrance to the event is at the south end of the park, not the side closest to Union Station.
