the area around the stadium isnt bad, its fun. the casino is right there, along with several bars and restaurants. unless anything has changed from years past, there is no pit party. Theres no room. The teams are scattered across different lots and some in back alleys. Some get to go in the basement, but it looks like bombs went off.. its a total mess and disaster down there. I always walk through once for the hell of it but theres nothing to be seen there.
