The combination of the intense lighting and the DJ make the event feel like an actual rock concert (except the sound levels are low enough that they aren't painful after a 10 hour day). The organizing committee truly spares no expense when they put this event on. In recent years they had a tunnel for teams exiting and entering the field, that lights up red or blue depending on which alliance had won the previous match. The magnitude of the show is something else.
