When any decent band is playing Sawgrass it's a fight to get a reasonably decent parking spot and also fairly crowded where you pretty much need to bring your own chairs (which I don't mind at all).

Who cares if some people bring in their own drinks? I honestly think it's better that they don't overpolice a venue like that. More than enough people are buying drinks and buying food. I usually buy drinks and sometimes food but sometimes I'm just stopping buy with a coffee or my water bottle to watch the band do a few songs.

The pizza is around $18 and is a decent lunch or light dinner for 2 people. I find the pizza to be definitely above average. What are you expecting to pay per person for something like that? At Five Guys in Brownwood a Cheesburger and Fries (no drink) is $19.

I agree that McGrady's is a missed opportunity. The theme is just a complete miss and doesn't match what anyone wants. Hopefully they'll figure out a better concept or go with something tried, true and popular like City Fire.
