FYI- My husband walked down to the river today to watch the planes. He said after a few minutes he was bored. He said they flew the course then turned around and did it again. I’d find a free spot to check it out. Then grab lunch downtown when you get bored.

A great place to watch if you don’t have a ticket is near the carousel and new Wheelhouse area (where you can rent bikes). This is a nice little area and there’s even a concession stand with some good food. It’s righ before where they block off the ticket area near the riverfront. If you need more specific directions, head down Jefferson from downtown, turn right on Chene, and once you get to the end of Chene, will be Chene Park and you will see a big parking lot where you can park. From there, it’s only a five minute walk to the carousel area where you can get a very good view. There are also places before where you can stop and get a pretty decent view as well (the lighthouse and big hill)
I was down there today and it was a good place to see the course (even though it was cancelled today).
