First concert scheduled for the Gophers outdoor stadium

is

U2 on June 27th.

I know Jack is already probably booking plane fare up here to catch it.

Will be cool to have a venue to watch big outdoor concerts though

These outdoor Stadiums are too big to my liking. You can def hear the music and see the light show somewhat. Aside from that they need Large Video Screens to cater to this size of audience. I'll pass every time no matter who. 20 years ago may have been a diff thought. Enjoy the show if u can--but it's more like a "I was there" thingy or for the atmosphere if anyone craves for that.

Early June, we might have to worry. Late June, I think we'll be ok

Can hardly wait for opening day baseball in early April outside

Will add we are experiencing the 2nd warmest November ever here

Temps have been above normal for 19 straight days

Heading into the 50's today

Can't wait until the other shoe drops soon

Yo PB--ever heard of the Irish Group "The Devlins"?

Pretty darn good. Had a couple Hits a few yrs ago. "Waiting" Very Good Album. "Heaven's Wall" awesome tune.

i agree...i saw monsters of rock at rice stadium in 1988...and fricking shit sucked...also saw rolling stones at the astrodome in 1989...it was better than rice stadium, but still sucked....i prefer small venues
