In these challenging COVID times, the once-dead ‘drive in’ is making a big comeback with a local example being the McHenry Drive In.The past two weekends they have been turning away people from their once-shuttered drive-in theater. It is a workaround for the many of us that want to get out but still want to maintain social distance, so that same format had to expanded to live entertainment right? In Denmark and Germany, live concerts at drive-ins started in April and now it looks like they could expand to the United States in the parking lot of one of the most popular sports franchises in America, the New York Yankees.
MASC Hospitality, a production company that produces street festivals around the NYC area is reportedly working on the Uptown Drive-In at
the parking lot of Yankees Stadium. Brooklyn Vegan reports the event could possibly be held on weekends in July with carnival-like offerings including raffles, games, food, and of course, live music. This is a “complete drive-in” experience according to a statement from the organizers.
So this raises the question, can we do this in the parking lot near one of our arenas? 35th street party in our vans, maybe?
