For the past few nights Direct TV has been hosting a Musical Festival across the street from the stadium. They chose to use a farm field still in production. Bet they’ve learned their lesson and will never do that again.
Last evening, January 29, 2015 it rained gently in my neighborhood, a mile away from the Direct TV site. The trouble is that it rained all night and is raining today. It didn’t take long for the Direct TV parking site to turn into a mud pit. When happy fans left the music venue they quickly became
very, very unhappy. It seems many of the fans’ cars were stuck in a veritable mud pit. Unhappiness soon turned to anger as some waited for over two hours to be extracated. Wonder who paid for tow trucks? Direct TV who provided the parking or a bunch of ‘mad as a wet hen’ (literally) fans?
Wonder what the back up parking plan is for tonight? Fans, a word to the wise. If you will be attending the Direct TV Musical Festival tonight, be careful where you park.

Joyce I know the property is being actively farmed but do you know who owns the land? I’m presuming the farmer is leasing until development.
The Pendergasts own the land. They are not farming the land but rather leasing it out until sold for development.
OMG, and you people want a Casino in the neighborhood? A business that we have NO say in there hours or noise levels, is that not hypocritical ? O, DID i MENTION THEY don”t PAY ANY TAXES!
Joyce has been against the casino since she first learned about it.
The Tohono’s back-doored themselves into that area before anyone realized what was happening. So it’s not a matter of people wanting a casino there as it is they don’t see the reason for wasting any more time and tax money fighting it when the city’s been snubbed at every attempt to stop it.
Well, there’s at least one person in the universe who remembers that I have opposed the casino from the start.
I went by there last night and was laughing out loud knowing what was about to happen!! Even commented, “Oh my God, they are parking in that field that will be a mud pit by the end of the evening!” I do feel bad for those that got stuck!!! Not a way to end an evening!
This was covered on the radio and unlike anything else SuperBowl, where the constant refrain is Phoenix, this time they were sure to say Glendale.I mentioned this to a friend. Response was “That’s hysterical. Oh Glendale. Can never get out of the muck.
Sadly that is an absolute truth.
