Big weekend Downtown with OAR live and Armada's first regular season game

A non political / social issue post.   

But for those looking to support downtown (which is about everyone in this forum), be sure to make it to the Can-Doo Festival which starts @ noon on Saturday at Met Park. OAR is the headlining band and your ticket gets you into Everbank for the Armada's first regular season home game @ 730 pm. Should make for a helluva Saturday!

Will be attending the soccer game.  Kind of disappointed that OAR is the headliner for this festival, though.  There are way better, more relevant bands that appeal to a broad cross-section of the populace.  Can't wait to see the game, though.

For what is essentially a free concert, your options are limited.

I'm not personally an OAR fan, at all. However, they are a relatively popular act for a small event like this and will surely draw some people to the festival and game.

I've never heard of OAR until now, thanks wiki; Ironically, they are from Rockville (MD) which is the name of the concert in Jax.

For the Baseball lovers the Miami Marlins will be playing the Suns at the ballpark as well starting at 2:30PM......I am making it an all day affair!

Baseball's never been hotter!

80% chance of rain all day Saturday... Hopefully that doesn't happen. It might squash our chance at a record attendance.

When I was talking to the Armada ticket folk this morning, they said they were over 14,000 sold. 
Hope the weather report is wrong ...

[WarDamJagFan]

Yeah the weather report isn't looking too tasty at the moment. Is it just me, or does it seem like we've had much more rain and clouds so far this year than normal?

Found this. Going on at the Shipyards area tonight.  http://www.lumitronixrun.com/home.html

Granted they have Veteran's United, and some of the other breweries are very good, but shouldn't this "beer" festival have more local brewers?

And FDOT is closing the Main St bridge until Sunday. Lovely.

[Tacachale]

Again, really?!? Guess we won't be taking our bikes then.

[Josh]

Yup. But don't worry, they're going to have the bridge open in time for FBC's Easter service.........
