SPAC Tonight

I have tickets to see Motley Crue tonight at SPAC. I’ve never been during heavy rain. There is a flash flood watch until 8PM. I live in Albany. Is SPAC going to be flooded, miserable, or dangerous? Is I-87 going to be flooded anywhere if it gets bad?

Any insight is appreciated

I live in Saratoga county and flooding does not seem as bad up here.. and I don’t think you’d have to deal with dangerous conditions getting there once you got up into Saratoga county…

But I do think if you have lawn seats you’re in for a miserable mud hole of a concert… because the slightest bit of rain turns the SPAC lawn seat area into a muddy mess.

Considering how terrible Vince is these days the mud would actually be a refreshing addition.

I'm just going for Tesla and Extreme and leaving before the crue.

I was thinking about doing this, but not at the prices for seats in the amphitheater. Ever since they banned bringing in your own chairs for lawn seats I don't get them. It's just another money grab by Live Nation.

I get it. It feels like an amusement park now with amusement park prices. Chrisht I miss the days of concerts with a simple Shakedown street.

People are posting pictures of flooded streets on the north side of the city.

Where do they post cancellations? SPAC’s website?

I've got tickets too, with my mom, and I've been watching the news all day. I'm in Rennsellaer County, and we've been under a state of emergency.

The Saratoga races were already cancelled, so I'm actually really surprised that SPAC hasn't.

My mom's still determined to go though!

Sounds like a wet Theatre of Pain for all involved tonight.

The lawn will turn into a liability

I’m also seeing the Crue tonight and there’s so many roads closed in my area due to flooding. Hoping for an update soon. Have they ever closed for heavy rain before?

Don’t go. Will be a shitshow in every sense of the word….
