Bader Field currently bears a festive appearance following years of neglect as the Dave Matthews Band Caravan members groove into action here in Atlantic City. Local people are delighted to see the defunct airport receiving an extensive makeover to make space for the event that will last three days here before moving on to other locations. This site was empty for some time until recently and it had evolved into an illegal dump of sorts over the period, according to a report on the Press of Atlantic City website.
Sprucing Up the Site
Plenty of work has gone into getting Bader Field ready for the band but it has been well worth the effort. The majority of the project was done by the Public Works Department here. Since February of this year when the function was verified, laborers began clearing up more than 300 tons of trash that had piled up here. After weeding the site, getting rid of the destroyed barbed wire fencing and trimming the overgrown shrubbery, the Department has definitely improved the once unattractive Braden Fields into a level open ground that's excellent for holding these kinds of activities. The ground has been regraded and landscaped also in a bid to create a positive impression of Atlantic City, according to the article.
About the Dave Matthews Band
Representatives hope that the Dave Matthews Band Caravan can give the site some much needed positive publicity and that this helps Atlantic City tourism also. Seeing the massive Ferris wheel, the tents established for shops and beer tasting counters, it is apparent that no effort is being spared to tempt travelers to the event. The group is making its first stop of four here in Braden field and the sort of reception it gets here is very critical to the entertainers. As stated by Starr Hill, the promoters of the concert, about 2000 people will be involved in the event when it actually takes off this week. Three dozen artists will be performing on three separate stages set up here by the promoter. Food, fun and music- it will all be here for locals and vacationers to enjoy at the Braden Field once the Band Caravan event starts. If you are planning your holiday, then this is definitely the perfect timing for a journey to Atlantic City.
Planning your Vacation
The Dave Matthews Band Caravan is likely to attract a lot of crowds and this means that you should book your rooms in Atlantic City ahead of time if you wish to join in the event. Register at the Atlantic Palace, a bluegreen resort located in the heart of the city right on the Boardwalk on New York Avenue. Staying at this resort keeps you within reach of all of the city's hotspots plus you enjoy the matchless hospitality and luxury that only bluegreen resorts can provide.
A Site for Future Events
The Public Works department is wanting to present the Braden Fields location as an ideal spot for possible future events too. This will attract more tourist interest to Atlantic City, they hope. They have already realized some degree of success in repurposing Sandcastle Stadium and finalizing the Atlantic City Summerfest here on July 2nd.
