all the circuses i been too was never in a tent. It was usually in a big concrete stadium. I started to think circus tents was a thing in the past....but then again i been to big city circuses oppose to small town circuses...so maybe the small town ones are different. I always wondered what it would be like to go to an old fashioned circus with a big colorful tent,side shows,carnival rides,big parade and all the works. Like the ones you see in the movies and historical post cards. Im not saying modernized ones are no fun just saying it would be cool to go to traditional one like this one day.:) I live in Chicago and at one point lived in Indianapolis Indiana...both major cities with concrete circuses and the music is techno and dubstep oppose to calliope music...lol.
