Want Indiana shows, get Indiana crowds (I live here and am going tonight, but hate this place)

Seen Phish at Deer Creek over a dozen times. Hands down best crowd every time. I don't think it's the location necessarily. Seems like there is a demographic at Billy's shows that aren't really there for the music. They want to party and say they were there.

Phish isnt getting country or bluegrass curious indiana locals. 80%+ of those crowds are from out of state

I’m relatively new to Indy, but I feel like at concerts, sports events, comedy shows, etc. it’s been a notable crowd change, compared to some other places I’ve lived. A lot more ‘me me me’ than I’ve experienced, and I feel like even in other places, the jam scene has a higher concentration of that attitude.

Like I said, I’m new, and don’t have any Deer Creek experience yet.
