Bader Field Being Groomed For Future Events

Bader Field now features a festive appearance following years of neglect as the Dave Matthews Band Caravan members move into action here in Atlantic City. Residents are ecstatic to see the defunct airport being given an extensive makeover to create enough space for the event that will last three days here before moving on to other areas. This site was abandoned for a long time until now 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

Lots of work has gone into getting Bader Field ready for the band but it really was worthwhile. The majority of the work was performed by the Public Works Department here. As early as February this year when the function was verified, employees commenced cleaning up more than 300 tons of rubbish that had gathered here. After weeding the site, eliminating the damaged barbed wire fencing and cutting back the overgrown bushes, the Department has truly improved the once nasty Braden Fields into a level open ground that will be perfect for holding such events. The ground was regraded and landscaped also in an attempt to create a favorable impression of Atlantic City’, according to the article.

About the Dave Matthews Band

Officials are hoping that the Dave Matthews Band Caravan will give the site some much needed positive publicity and that it will help Atlantic City tourism too. Seeing the massive Ferris wheel, the tents set up for shops and beer tasting counters, it is obvious that no effort has been spared to bring in vacationers 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 show, around 2000 individuals will be involved in the event when it actually takes off this week. Three dozen artists will be performing on three different stages set up here by the promoter. Food, fun and music- it will all be there for local people and guests to enjoy at the Braden Field when the Band Caravan event starts. If you're planning a trip, then this is definitely the ideal timing for a vacation to Atlantic City.

A Site for Future Events

The Public Works department is intending to project the Braden Fields site as an ideal area for future events too. This may 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.
