rev:text	My first review below got cut off because of length but covers that you should go if you've never been, explains a bit about the city at the time and talks about have to save money. Stuff to see on the grounds: - The coke stage brings some fairly decent acts in annually and these are shown for free each night. This is often what will drag my but down to the grounds because admission is still less than most of these guys in concert. - The productions in the corral - Although Tails last year was not very good (and culturally insensitive to our native population....) it was still quite the technical production with some talented animals inthe ice shows the years before have been EXCELLENT. Better than most "ice shows" - it's like a concert on ice with acrobats and Olympians. I'm not sure what 2013 will feature but it's worth evaluating. This is also free with admission and a great deal because they are not low budget shows by any means. - The Bell pavilion often has some very cool acts. They've brought in world class acrobats that have worked in cirque du soliel shows, vegas acts, world record holders and amazing bmx shows in previous years. It always changes up but often is a highlight for me. Again, free with admission. - I like to wonder around the vendors at the roundup center. Sometimes they have cool things in there in addition to buying stuff. Last year you could give a go at surfing in a giant tank and when segways were new you could take a spin of an obstacle course. There always depends on who's willing pay to bring an attraction in but it can be interesting for a walk around. I wouldn't go into the roundup center without a smart phone though.... those fast talking sales people are making you deals that are more expensive than the real world at times. Occasionally you find something really neat for a STEAL. For example, my laundry washer balls is something I go specifically for when I know I have one ending it's life at home. - In the back of the roundup center there is the oasis which is an artist gallery. It blows me away at the talent we have around here. The wine tastings in recent years have been very nice - it's a bit of a tranquil garden in the middle of some stampede chaos. The kids crafts here are usually pretty neat - even I've given some a go and I don't take children down with me. - the midway is average - nothing special but something I always loved as a kid. As an adult I find tickets more cost effective because I don't spend my whole day on rides anymore and my last year with a wrist band I nearly made myself sick trying to get value off the band. - beer gardens - beer flows heavily at Stampede all around the city. If you want into the ground's gardens you better get there early. I've have friends that have stood in line for 2-3 hours for Nashville North and ultimately give up because they haven't gotten far enough through the line. Is it worth is? I've never ever been... If you do hit the clubs around the city expect lines, to be turned away for VIP events and to pay covers that are enormous. You'll find all kinds of places around the city setting up beer gardens and then selling passes like they are this grand event but it's not really... just a place to drink some beer and get goofy with tourists and people ducking out of work (WITH their bosses ;) ) My next update will be food and housing options for the stampede...
