Let’s talk about the real struggle of being a Dance Gavin Dance fan in 2025—finding parking near Wayne State University for their show. If you’ve ever tried to park anywhere near downtown Detroit for a concert, you already know the pain. Now add a sold-out DGD show to the mix, and suddenly, parking becomes an extreme sport.
First off, why is parking around Wayne State always such a nightmare? Between students, locals, and now a swarm of post-hardcore fans, it’s like the Hunger Games out there. Street parking? Good luck. Garages? Full by 5 PM. Uber surge pricing? Don’t even get me started.
Here’s the real question: Should venues like this partner with nearby lots for event parking? Or are we just doomed to circle the block for 45 minutes while blaring *"Chucky vs. The Giant Tortoise"* on repeat? Some fans swear by arriving stupidly early (we’re talking pre-lunch early), while others just accept their fate and park a mile away for the cardio.
And let’s not forget the post-show chaos. Nothing like trying to leave a packed garage while half the crowd is still screaming the lyrics to *"We Own the Night."*
So, fellow Swancore enthusiasts—what’s your parking strategy? Early bird? Public transit? Full-on prayer? Drop your survival tips below.
*(And if you see me sprinting five blocks in platform boots to make the show on time… no you didn’t.)*
