Save people money and take money out of Clarks pocket at the same time as doing the "Can Pioli" idea.

If not the fairgrounds, are there any other places that can accommodate for something that big?...also are there any bus services that could handle the volume of those logistics?

We've had exhaustive conversations about this avenue. After you take on the expenses of shuttles, rental, cleanup, security, marketing, and liability insurance, it's a horrible idea. Why would anybody ditch an hour of valuable tailgating time to board a shuttle to save $7 and stick it to the man? They wouldn't. They will just pay the $27 just like they've always done. The biggest problem with shuttles is you pay drivers for a full day to make 5 or 6 5-10 minute trips 3.5 hours apart. If it were just one drop and you're chartering a bus for one hour, that's an easy expense but when you have to pay CDL drivers to sit and wait 3.5 hours, that's another animal.
