There is a 2 hour procession that goes before the stage, basically a Stampede parade to entertain people and throw out sponsor merch, keeps the kids entertained anyways. 15 million people on the side of the road see to enjoy it, personally I wouldn't go but maybe if I could sit on the opposite side of the valley and watch them climb switchbacks for 30 minutes while having a beer, then i'm interested
