organizers and law enforcement hope to keep Six Fest an eventless event, founder Dominic Petrozzi said.
Petrozzi
who graduated from Ohio University in 2005 said he hopes Six Fest can serve as an example of how students can party responsibly after Palmerfest.
We've soberly taken a step back and see that what happened on safety is completely unacceptable, he said. People just have to be smarter than that.
No household furniture glass bottles or bonfires will be allowed at the festival. Small tables for beer pong and lawn chairs are permitted
Patrozzi said.
No one wants it to have to go where it went this weekend, said Ryan Lombardi
OU's dean of students.
One problem Five Fest attendees faced last year was a lack of transportation. Buses stopped transporting people from the event back to campus for several hours in the middle of the day
causing a bottleneck of impatient and irritable students
said Lt. Bryan Cooper of the Athens County Sheriff's Office.
This year
10 buses will run constantly from to midnight
taking revelers from Yianni's on North Court Street and Peden Stadium to the festival at the Big Red Barn. The only drop-off location will be Peden Stadium.
Another problem was limited access to medical services. Ambulances had to fight through crowds to get to the event
slowing response and taking time away from other injuries in the county
Lombardi said.
