It was good to watch in person. The bangs were louder than in any video and a deep boom too. Everyone jumped at the 1st one.
So much for the stay at home message!

We planned on sleeping in the 80 and getting a front row seat, till we drank too much the night before.

Yea we thought about parking the 80 close up, but in the end didnt need to we got there 2 mins before and got right up against the fence. boys loved it.
Wife said "I didn't think it would be loud"

was def worth the early morning rise. the booms were very cool. everyone jumped at the first boom as there was no warning, no countdown just silence then boom, the tv doesnt do justice for the sound of them going off
