lets build a 9,000 person nightclub with zero parking. What could go wrong?

Parking is no longer a need now with Uber. A lot less people drive to go out nowadays. Bars/clubs realize this and don't sacrifice space for parking.

Especially during SB week. No one here will have a car. It'll be all Uber and limos/private drivers.

Your frequent pronouncements of the brave new driverless world are charming.

I'm right.

Bars don't give a shlt about how hard it is for you to park. Their target demographic doesn't need parking and they rather pack more of them in rather than accomadate olds who can't use a smart phone and insist on driving.

Look at Pub Fiction. They took out parking they had to add more capacity.

You mean the whole 8 spots they had before? You are an idiot. That is a terrible example.

Call me skeptical as to the viability of this place come March 2017.

1) Immediately sent the link to a buddy who lives within a 2 minute walking distance of there.. he's now looking for a place to vacation rather than dealing with the eventual crowd.. I thought it was pretty funny to watch him read the article.

2) Bars not caring about their customers being able to park? Kirby Ice House wold like to have a word..

I thought the whole point of it being a "roaming" nightclub was that it would pick up and move out after the Super Bowl clientele leave

Well if "this place" is Club Nomatic and it does well in whatever location it is at after March, then I would say the viability of that place would be good.

In same boat with a 5 minute walk. Debating putting house up for rent, but scared to do it with those crowds.

What's there to worry about? 07 keeps trying to tell us that nobody drives anymore, so I imagine the 9000 people will just float in and out for days without causing any hellish traffic and parking nightmares for the surrounding area.

I like the people in Kyle... I wouldn't be caught in a club anyways. If I want to pay a cover and for overpriced booze, I'll go to a sporting event.

Cle has like 7 valet spots and maybe 30 spots in the lot across the street, which might not even be affiliated cause it's like $20 to park there. I got there really early (10 PM) when they opened the only time that I went for a friend's birthday and it got crowded as balls. I guess everyone parks on the street or Ubers, depending on whether they want to risk a DWI or their car broken into.

I guess I missed the part about it "roaming."

So they build this place, run it for a while around the Super Bowl then it's done? Seems like a weird business model IMHO but I'm not a club owner or investor and don't know squat about it.

As for it not being viable, I think the overhead for a place this size and it's intended clientele just don't work. Unless it's going to continually have fairly big-name concerts.

Meh, what do I know? I'm just a 40'ish white dude who wouldn't have even considered going to a place like this even when I was 25 and single.

I think it has promise. As we all know. Nightclubs are always fleeting. Popular for up to a year maybe then slowly die off either to shut down or reinventing itself.

How much better would it be to have the same nightclub concept and just keep moving it around the country so that it's always new wherever it's at?

Nobody read the article...

Quote:

"Houston represents the debut of Club Nomadic, the world's premier traveling nightclub experience," said Jack Murphy, president Nomadic Entertainment, in an email. "Ultimately, it will make appearances at other major sporting and cultural events worldwide."

Odds this isn't viable and the debut is the only time this place works?

This. I have completely given up on driving when I go out. Uber is just too cheap and simple to "risk it" after a few (or several) drinks.
