I saw U2 in both banks. There was NO COMPARISON in sound quality. at (then) TCF Bank Stadium, it was fantastic. All in all perhaps the best concert I have ever been to (especially considering U2 is not my all time favorite band). We were sitting a long ways away and the sound was perfect - even during a rain storm.

We enjoyed it so much we jumped at the chance when U2 returned a few years later to play at U.S. Bank Stadium. It absolutely sucked. My wife always loved the warm up act (Beck) and the sound was so bad his set was half over before she even realized it was Beck.

I am told that U.S. Bank stadium seats that are lower and/or on the floor are better. But I can confirm anything higher on the sides in the Vikings stadium absolutely suck. It sucks so bad I have made a point of not returning there for a concert. I wouldn't think twice about a concert at the Gopher's stadium.

I heard that with all the weird angles, the acoustices in US Bank are not good for musical acts.

And most of those farmers still owe large $ that they borrowed to buy the land, equipment, seed, livestock, etc.

Not really, at least in terms of debt to equity ratio. Ag lenders have per acre lending limits thanks to the mistakes of the late 70s and early 80s. Farmers have incredible equity their grandfathers would never have dreamed about. The typical "small" farmer I work with has a net worth of probably $8-$10 million. Most more.

Looks like a great lineup! If I lived in Minnesota, I’d be going. Many of them are past their prime, but seeing them all on the same day will be memorable.

Looks like the portion that CNN is going to broadcast won't have Neil Young, Dylan, or Willie, and only 20 minutes or so of Mellencamp.

The way I am seeing it is everyone starting with Chesney through Young will be on the CNN coverage (6pm - 11pm Central). I would think they would go long to include Willie.

I presume the TV schedule was announced before Dylan joined in and juggled the lineup.

My guide just shows coverage from 6-9. Hope they go 6 to midnight.
 



My guide says 6pm - 11pm, which matches the press release in Post #67 above.

The guide also says that they are going to repeat it right after, so I think it shouldn't be a problem to extend through Willie.
