I have never been as close to fireworks as I was at the Saturday night party in Centennial Olympic park in April, 2006. Fireworks casings (very small) were literally falling on me and our table. It was not a problem for anyone as far as I know but unexpected. It was an incredible show however! It was well integrated with the group, Rhythm Extreme, performing on stage prior to the fireworks.

You may remember that in 2004 the pits were not in the closest GWCC building (C) to the Georgia Dome so your walk would have been much longer. That was corrected in 2005. Yes it is still quite a hike when compared to regionals.
