Slightly OT: U2 will play TCF after all per STrib

[GoAUpher]

Looks like U2 will be playing at TCF after all. Prepare for another round of complaints from the neighbors.

It's a beautiful day.

Nice. Warm summer evening under the stars. Bono's a blowhard, but I can ignore that for one night.

that is great. time to crank those speakers up AND then make sure that they don't turn them back down ever again! frickin' whiners in this state.

might be nice to find a patio in stadium village and a beer and just kick it and listen to the crowd and music.

Does the U get any of the money from concerts?

If they do, what percentage do you think it would be? Concessions, stadium rental, ........?

Any chance that a U2 concert would help "fine-tune" the stadium speaker system?

My experience says good luck in getting tickets if this is true. I have tried to get tickets for a few shows, and I've never had luck in getting them without going through a ticket broker.

The Pioneer Press said the U would get about $200,000

The only "U2" Sid is aware of is Gary Powers spy plane that was shot down over the Soviet Union.

I'll take a shot of Bono's blow-hardiness if it means pissing off the idiots who complain about the noise. Does this happen anywhere else in America? Any other college/pro stadiums get complaints about the noise?

Unlikely. U2 will have their own sound set up and speakers and likely will have their own video boards as well.

I saw them in the Garden last. I can't wait to try to get tickets. They put on a great show.
