We enjoyed the first and second comedians but the main event, Johnny Rizzo, was disappointing. We understand that he probably is used to getting his jokes through the audience but it wasn't working on June 6. He was OK but not what we expected.

This was what I consider to be a very weak line up of artists this year for the annual Star94 Jingle Jam. I was hesitant to sit through the two relatively unknown opening acts. I'll start with Echosmith...I had a meet and greet with all 3 bands brfore the show. Echosmith was very quiet, except for the singer. She was very sweet and friendly and created good conversation. Their sound and her voice was great, but they played entirely too long. Also, the lead singer kept flipping and playing with her hair to the point of being annoying and obnoxious. Nerves? Quite possibly since they are all so very young...might just be an inexperience thing. Lindsey Stirling- also great at the meet and greet. Very nice and friendly and good conversation. She was VERY good on stage and got very wonderful feedback from the audience. Her musical talent and athletiicism were outstanding. A joy to watch. This, too went on a bit too long and became boring after a while since it is kind of the same repetitive stuff over and over. She lost the audience a little bit at the end. The Script: VERY ENGAGING AND FRIENDLY at the M and G. Talked to all of them for a lot longer than anyone else and they even let me take additional pictures without complaint. My sister on the other side of the states is obsessed with them (as much as I am) and she was heartbroken that she did not get a M and G with them. We took an extra picture and they even let me hold up a sign for her (see photo). Live...well, what can you say? They are never anything other than perfect. Danny engaged the audience by coming down and singing in the audience quite a bit. Unfortunately, he sustained a scratch on his face from an over zealous fan. Poor guy. I have seen them 5 times now and they have yet to put on a show anything less than perfect. Go see them if you ever get a chance to.

This was Texas Tech's bowl game and with just under 4 minutes left in the 3rd Quarter, Tech mounted a great comeback that fell short but gave it's fans something to cheer about. Overall, it was a great game and will attend next year.

The open act and Charlie Murphy were both incredible!

The opening acts def got the crowd goin, including Lars, Mutt Carter, Groove Stain. Nappy Roots was amazing :) I'm from a small town in WV, so they really hit deep with their lyrics. Great music at a great venue :)

loved the game. enjoy the view thinking of getting the season tickets for next year.

Great Game .. Great fans .. Go Bombers !!! Seat was good .. Great music .. Good Thursday in general

The show was AWESOME. THOROUGHLY ENJOYED MYSELF. THE seating has a lot to be desired. Packed like sardines.

The tournament was great. Oak hill and Sun Rise Academy put on a good game.

I flew all the way from Northern California to Chicago on the spur-of-the-moment to catch The Spongebob Musical in its very first incarnation. I was not disappointed in the least. The sets, costumes, lighting, cast, choreography and score were all wonderful. A tip of the hat to director Tina Landau and her production team for bringing the world of Bikini Bottom to joyous life for all to see. Kids will love the songs, pace and various characters ... and adults will as well. Whoever thought that impending doom could be so much fun? Rhetorical question. I plan to see it next year when it opens in NYC. When the tour comes to San Francisco I'll take my theatre-going group to see it as well. We all need a little Spongebob now.
