I rather enjoyed the Classic. It was my first time to attend since it was in Pine Bluff and Rick Clunn won it. The weigh-in was much too long - even Dave was getting frustrated they wouldn't move quicker between fisherman. As for parking we took an uber from the hotel downtown and it was around $18.00 including tip. They ran shuttles from the convention center to dickies arena that were free. I dont really get the ticketmaster issue as I use it for other events as well but it appears to be an issue for some.
