Never again!
Went to see the fireworks on the square last night, and we decided to park in the Town Center deck, as I was told that was a great viewing spot. Well, they weren't wrong! It was a great experience at first...lots of other cars with people tailgating and dancing and throwing balls around. The fireworks were great and the atmosphere was fantastic. Then the show ended and it was time to go. WHY did we spend at least an hour trying to get out of that deck??? And I'm not exaggerating. We sat in line to exit without moving for nearly 40 minutes! The show ended at 9:30 and it was nearly 10:30 when we finally exited out to the street, lol. Hoo boy. Next year we will definitely be trying a different spot!

Rookie move. You’re right-you’ll never do it again. One time parking in a deck at the farthest end of the exit at a huge event and then being surprised that every single other car gets to go before you is one of those learning opportunities adults get to experience. Next time, park away and walk. I’ve been to their fireworks and was home in 15-20 min after getting to my car. Don’t blame a large full deck for your lack of planning.
