The only minor part was the big pole just in front of the stage at 1/3 of the left side.

Yeah, the venue looks a bit strange at first sight, due to it being below street level and all. BUt as you said, it's a good place for a festival like this.
As far as the big pole goes, there's been a lot of talk about moving it, but since it carries the entire construction of the building it would be expensive as hell to move it.

Yes, I think our sound engineers that weekend made everything sound loud and clear. Funny thing is that The Rock over the 2 first years of its existance has taken a lot of heat from having bad sound, so the local audience (and especially the media) are very prejudiced towards it. We've changed lots of things there lately, including most of the sound equipment, and for PPScan we even hired in a sound-team from Sweden to come and make everything perfect (which I think it was). Guess what - the main media in Denmark still slammed the festival for having bad sound, hahahahaha.

I'm almost certain that by PPScan 2008 the smoking policy will be even harder and smoking will not even be allowed up on the balcony.
