Just drove around Lansing the other day and saw the MSU campus. Soooooooooooooooooon.
Anyone planning on bringing a bike? I'll have one on the back of my car and can't wait to ride around campus throughout the day.

I'm going to drive up to Lansing in a few weeks, I need to figure out how far my hotel really is from the stadium. And get an idea about parking if need be, since they won't let you park by the stadium till 3 pm.

Thanks Liz, I've been asking the same. Are you by chance at the Towne Place Suites?

No, I think I'm at the Hampton Inn.
When I booked it that was the closest one with rooms left.

You're Northwest and I'm East.
Where did you hear 3pm for cars? I bet that's bunk. It's never that late... no one seems to ever know until show day.

It was posted on MSU's website last year before everything got postponed. I doubt it's changed. They don't know what they are dealing with.
A co-worker said there are side lots all over by the stadium, but I don't know if they are in the no parking till 3 area.

Here we go, the link with the lame parking rules. It does mention parking in lots downtown, so I guess people can use those before 3.
Parking and maps | U2 at Spartan Stadium | MSU News Special Report | Michigan State University
So so stupid.
I'd check out the polices page too. It says "camping", I'd like to know what they consider camping.
Also it says that GA enter through the north tunnel. I dont think my ticket says what enterence to use.

It says about halfway down that page that you have to show your inner circle ticket to park at Ramp 5. Are they talking about Red Zone? Because that is the only way I can think of that you could automatically be in the inner circle, and I'm not even sure about that much.

I have no idea what they mean by "inner circle ticket".
There is absolutely no such thing as we know.
Overall, this is looking pretty brutal.
No parking until 3pm, and no purses or bags of ANY SIZE. GET REAL.
And no oversized hats. I hope they don't consider my Joshua Tree Stetson (on my 5'2" self) to be an 'oversized hat'. They may as well ban everyone over 5'4" if they do, because that's about how tall it makes me.

The no purses thing is ridiculous. I can see where they are coming from but why not just a bag check? The last 360 concert I went to was their second show in Chicago and people were handing out Blackberry backpacks... Oh well.
I am wondering about parking though. I imagine getting there at around 7 in the morning (I have a feeling this won't be a giant show like Chicago). There has to be some place to park. The people that are in charge can't be clueless about General Admission.
It's sooo close. I haven't been to a show in 2 years and that is 2 years too much...

Well all... ready to rock for this one? I wonder how the GA is going to turn out? Anyone have any idea if anyone is going to take numbers?

Does this seem like the slowest thread around?
It probably is.
Must be because we're Michigan and no one loves us

Just got a Michigan decal to stick on our car so people don't look at us funny here when it snows. The other sticker is from our Kentucky university and everyone knows Kentuckians can't drive in snow, so they race past us. I'm not from Kentucky, darnit!
It is an extremely quiet thread.

17 days to go!
Does anyone have any parking advice? We're staying in a hotel about 15 miles from campus so we'll definitely need to drive and park...We're hoping to get about a mile away and find street parking maybe? thanks!

Unless they change the 3pm parking thing, your best bet sounds like it will be to find a lot downtown and walk from there.

This thread is kinda quiet, but I'll be stationed along the rail (between Edge and Bono) jumping and singing the whole time! It's almost here!!!
Can't wait to see Florence and the Machine, too. They are great.

MSU is a college town. There's always that tiny chance of getting in trouble, but my plan is to park in my (former) apartment parking lot and walk the half-mile to campus. MSU has apartments etc. all around and because it's the summer and generally empty, the lots are generally open and the authorities generally don't care one bit. Parking on campus/Grand River is going to be a nightmare because as great as our school is, it isn't made for U2 shows, but parking anywhere inconspicuous and making the small (beautiful) hike is a great and presumably inexpensive plan.
U2 IS PLAYING EAST LANSING SO SOONNNNN
right after Glastonbury...I wonder what that means for us...

Good luck with finding another GA ticket! They're down to $85 (and dropping) on StubHub if you really need to make an eleventh-hour purchase.
