Pine Knob again! Boomers win.

DTE millennial fan boys. By the way, is Eddie Money still opening? Or is he still dead?

About fucking time

What’s the point of DTE advertising anyway? I never really understood that

Let’s be honest here. Did any of us old folks ever stop calling it Pine Knob?
The DTE name was horrible. If the company had any common sense, they’d’ve kept the Pine Knob name and added their own. Whatevs. Doesn’t matter now.

All the stadium naming stuff is stupid.

If Spartan Stadium ever gets renamed, just shoot me.

It’s moved into the mainstream now, but fans here would revolt. More likely, it would be the Rocket Mortgage Spartan Stadium or UWM Spartan Stadium. And yes, I’d hate it.

La people got really mad that they couldn’t call it the staples center anymore but now they get to call it the crypt so who could be mad about that, that’s an upgrade

I always liked the name The Forum. Too bad the Lakers aren’t there anymore.

I'm pretty sure its going to soon be Caeser's Palace Sportsbook Spartan Stadium presented by Rocket Mortgage Refinance.

You guys remember when you could bring your own beer?Dragging quarter barrels (or Oly balls) onto the lawn was awesome. And the entire place was a cloud of weed smoke. Good times.

Definitely one those cases when they actually were the good old times.

I swear half the time I went in the early 80's I didn't even know who was playing. Although I think it was the Doobie Brothers.

That would be late 70’s early 80’s and it had to be around the Fourth of July because they always were at castle farms then.

Yeah I saw them in charlevoix too. Took hours to get out of the parking lot. Ironically, my son got married there 10 years ago. Cool ( and very expensive) venue.

Don’t forget The Caesar’s Palace Sportsbook Breslin Student Student Events Center home of the Michigan State Spartan basketball team presented by Rocket Mortgage finance.

Staples was never good. The Crypt is far worse. The Forum had some class.

Not a boomer... was at Pine Knob seemingly every week for a good 2 year span in the late 80s early 90s. Fun stuff.
Lollapalooza 1 (Jane's Addiction, living color, nin, IceT) Lollapalooza 2 (rhcp, soundgarden, pearl jam, ice cube)
Plus a million more.
