This view of Odysseo looks east across Interstate 75-85. The cars in the foreground are headed south. Cannot beat the location as some 250,000 vehicles pass the lot each day.

On the left are the tops of some of the stable and other tents.

Cavalia/Odysseo is the creation of Normand Latourelle of Montreal, Canada. He was an early partner of Guy Laliberté in Cirque du Soleil.

Latourelle was insistent that the show be set up within sight of the freeway so as to garner attention of the thousands passing by each day. Owing to the size of Odysseo's big top, it could not use the lot at Atlantic Station where Cavalia played from October 2009 to January 2010. That one was within sight of the downtown connector at 17th St., north of this location
