November 22, 20241 yr s%*# location lol I used to park over by that bar and park just south of there back in the day for free parking and used to walk past there. Didn't even know there was a theater there lol Edited November 22, 20241 yr by Bob Sacamano
November 22, 20241 yr Gotta keep the venue small or the collective negativity could open up a portal to the Upside Down.
November 22, 20241 yr I never thought there was anything wrong with how the event was structured in the past. Those who wanted to seek autographs did so, those who wanted to attend seminars did so, and you could walk through sales and attractions throughout. This change seems like it'll be messy and less structured. Kinda like the roster construction so I suppose it fits.
November 22, 20241 yr I can certainly understand why they wanted a smaller venue. We'll see if they can even sell this one out.
November 22, 20241 yr "SoxFest Live" really isn't much of a rename. That's kind calling it ZoxFeZt, and claiming they renamed it.

Didn't even know there was a theater there lol It was recently renovated to be a music venue and a brewery (Other Half, based out of NY) opened up in there. Have not been to the venue but have heard good things. Think it's pretty small though, maybe 1500 capacity.

November 22, 20241 yr I imagine The Ramova is faaaar cheaper than the Hyatt or Palmer House.....which is your answer regarding venue change. Looks like the kids portion is in an entirely different location which is ridiculous. Edited November 22, 20241 yr by TheBooneLoganEra

November 22, 20241 yr Hosting a downsized version of Soxfest there gives me visions of Hahn's infamous Reggie's chat. Better optics than canceling again, but this definitely feels like them limiting public scrutiny from fans.

Small venue and there's not a hell of a lot to do in the vicinity. Better than nothing, but a far cry from Soxfests of the past.

I used to love going there as a kid when the circus came to town....plus the smell made it even more authentic.
