That parking lot is where we’d eat out of the trunk when we could only afford tickets (and only on discount days.) Despite the memories, it’s hot and dry and gross and I wouldn’t want to bleed out there.

Just saw this on twitter too, people were saying it was outside the gates before the metal detectors and stuff?
