Hippodrome Under Siege: Marko Perković Thompson Concert Shuts Down New Zagreb!
Imagine this: New Zagreb in total chaos! Streets around the Hippodrome closed to traffic, residents trapped in their neighborhoods, all because of Marko Perković Thompson’s concert scheduled for Saturday. Yes, you read that right – two full days of lockdown, with traffic jams and tension already mounting.
Residents Torn Between Fear and Acceptance
Some residents don’t see a problem and believe everything will go smoothly, while others are already fleeing the neighborhood. Marija from Kajzerica says her neighborhood is usually quiet and she’s happy with it, but admits Saturday will be a challenge. Some have already announced they won’t even leave their homes, while others plan barbecues and gatherings before the concert. Parking? A total nightmare! Residents are coping as best they can – some charge for parking, others don’t, but all agree it will be crowded.
Preparations in Full Swing
Two days before the concert, trucks and workers in Thompson shirts swarm the Hippodrome area. Equipment is being set up from all sides, and traffic is already difficult. While all shops remain open, some have announced they will close during the weekend. Residents wonder how those who need to work or have other obligations will manage.
Cafes and Fan Pits – Oasis for Visitors
While residents deal with blockades, nearby cafes and fan pits at Bundek prepare for a flood of visitors. Fan pits will open at 10 AM, and cafes are expected to be packed. The atmosphere is tense but excited – the concert is a big event for the city, but at the cost of the lives of residents nearby.
Is It Worth It?
The question arises – is it worth shutting down a large part of the city for one concert? Residents are divided, and the traffic jams and blockades are already causing frustration. Some are willing to sacrifice for entertainment, while others think it’s too much and that ordinary people’s needs are being ignored.
Conclusion
New Zagreb will be under siege this weekend. Marko Perković Thompson’s concert brings joy to thousands of fans but headaches to residents around the Hippodrome. Will organizers and city authorities manage to calm the situation, or is this the start of a new season of chaos in the city? Time will tell.
