According to the AP, some residents think that the April Dave Matthews Band concerts at Scott Stadium will be a little too loud. I’m not aware of a concert ever having been performed at Scott Stadium, but I’m guessing that folks in the neighborhood would be used to football games being pretty loud. What is terribly obnoxious, though, are those terrible new lights they put on during the stadium’s expansion. They can be seen all the way from Stony Point; I’d think that the astronomy department would hate them.

If local residents have anything to fear, it’s parking for the (now) two-day event. When the show was a single night, we can assume a lot of fans would take off for the highway five minutes after the second (ob) encore; now, we’re in for football traffic, and football parking, straight on through to Sunday night.
