[szabolcs17]

Budapest has a new venue called Budapest Sportarena with a capacity of 12500.
I really hope U2 will make it to Hungary next year.

 

[Ava79]

Helsinki, Hartwall Areena, capacity of 10 000+.

 

[Squire]

In Portugal we have "Pavilhão Atlãntico". Wich means "Atlantic Arena" in English. It has a capacity up to 20.000 people.

 

[Zoovation]

Coque in Luxembourg 8.000 people.

 

[claytons edge]

That's 17 countries with indoor arena's we've got,but they'd probably do a few more,noteably france and spain i'd imagine

GREEN GLEN'S ARENA CORK (7,000)

Well, I've no idea of capacity, but Paris has the Palais Omnisports de Bercy (I hope I spelt that correctly!), which U2 have played in regularly over the years - I know they were there on Lovetown and Elevation.

 

[U2Man]

Hi Christina!
Yet another Dane joins Interference, good to see

The topic: It won't happen. U2 have proved this summer that they are able to sell 100.000+ tickets in every city all over Europe. Why should they play to smaller crowds with much weaker revenues?

 

[prof_peabody]

Almost all the Euro indoor venues you mentioned have about half the capacity or less of a North American arena. So I don't think it's goint to happen.

 

[claytons edge]

This is europe and we want to forget about anything american,thank you,hence the title of the thread

In amsterdam we allready had 3 "indoor"shows

That stadium SUCKS!!!!!!!!!

The concerts rocked though but that had more to do with the quality of the band that was playing and position I was during the concerts than the actual accoustiscs for the people who were sitting way back...

an indoorshow in europe would be cool though and some great outdoorshows in Australie and NZ for Axver and his buddies

Hey, I had very good accoustics way in the back during Amsterdam 3. In fact it was way better then hearing it close to the stage during Amsterdam 2. Then there was a nasty return echo, but way in the back, no echo.

And that's the problem we have here in Europe!!! The band can't make enough money playing indoor in Europe...
It sucks, but it's the truth.... Our four Dublin friends do want to make a lot of money.....
