Hi Folks. The Lynyrd Skynyrd concert is going to be a huge success. Ticket sales have been brisk and a very large crowd is expected, therefore to make your experience the best it can be, VMRE has issued a large essay on parking and other rules. Tickets are still available, so if you want to see Lynyrd Skynyrd at a wonderful outdoor park, this is you chance. PLEASE read over everything below, so there will be no surprises when you arrive. My understanding is that VMRE has hired the company that handles parking for NASCAR at the Richmond International Speedway (RIR), so things should go smoothly. All information below is directly from Penny Parsons, the media contact for VMRE.
"On Friday, May 11, 2012 at 6:30 PM the Virginia Museum of Radio Entertainment is pleased to present iconic rock band LYNYRD SKYNYRD at The Virginia State Park Pavilion at Hooper Park, on Melody Lane in Crewe, VA.
