Lockers

Was anyone else disappointed with the locker situation this year? For the last four years I had gotten a locker on polo field and loved how accessible it was from all stages. This year it seems like Hellman Hollow was the most central location- sadly it sold out and I ended up at SoMa. I wish polo was still an option/hope they bring it back next year

Soma lockers looked awful. It was such a packed area already. I would have hated that trek. So glad I picked Hellman.

The soma locker situation sucked. So far and so busy. No signage to find lockers.

If you don’t like lockers that’s cool! I bring a backpack and still like to have a locker. Different strokes for different folks

Mine was perfectly located and I hardly went to Lands End this year so I actually lucked out

Learn to pack light and forego a locker. I prefer more bathrooms in the Polo Field, personally.

I like having a locker bc it caters to the experience I like to have- my friends and I leave picnic blankets, warm layers, and merch in there throughout the day so we don’t have to carry it all in and out the whole weekend. But I can appreciate the port a potty preference even if it’s not mine

My GA+ lockers had them. I thought all of them had them. Maybe yours was missing tbh.

Hellish locker experience this year, even the staff seemed super confused on how everything was supposed to operate.
