If you are sitting further back in the bleachers you wont be able to see the fireworks, which are generally a disappointment anyway.

The grandstand show was way better this year than previous years.

There was a lot less "Hooray for evertying" from the Young Canadians, there was motocross, there was no hoop dancing, the comedian was really funny (sort of a poor mans Russel Peters), and I don't know how anyone can call those fireworks disappointing.

Normally I'd agree that missing the grandstand show isn't a tragedy, but this year I was pretty impressed.
