Brave girl!..

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

Brave girl!..

U2's worth it.

Stadium filling up. About 3 hours till showtime.

 

[corianderstem]

That's so weird about the blocked-off infield. What's so special about that part? They can't protect it with the special flooring like thy obviously did for the rest of the field?

I think they had to protect the infield more than the outfield, as the sod on the outfield can be easily replaced when damaged. But yeah, kinda useless if you ask me.

Why?

Stadium filling up. About 3 hours till showtime.

Is this considered a waste of "prime" real-estate?

 

[wendynz]

That is a prime viewing area totally wasted.

 

[prbiker15]

That view is pretty close to the stage, in my opinion.

 

[angel_28]

U2's worth it.

I agree I wish I could but I'm too tired

 

[prbiker15]

With that green wall there, it looks like The Claw was placed in front of a building

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

so Bono is not feeling well?

 

[subnet]

pretty big mosh pit

 

[prbiker15]

so Bono is not feeling well?

Yeah, tweets say he's tired and has a scratchy voice. Good thing is that he has a nine day break from performing, but has to fly to NYC and back a few times (Spiderman opens next week I think).

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

poor Bono. Well the crowd will help him sing tonight.

 

[garciaricky0019]

That is a prime viewing area totally wasted.

tell me about it, it's one of the best GA spots, ...location, location, location...

I just wish these baseball stadiums would have allowed for use of the baseball-in-field, if they were worried that by covering it with the metal sheetings the grass would have died, well then, they certainly could have scheduled it so that this particular area/spot is covered until today, a couple hours without sunlight will not stop photosynthesis!!! ... chemistry class FTW

we certainly need to voice our opinions so that they don't pull a fast-one on us in Miami's Sun Life Stadium!! Help fellas and ladies!!

 

[corianderstem]

I thought he sounded a little hoarse in a few very brief spots in Seattle (he recovered quickly after each little blip).

But I might be crazy.

I believe it's to keep the pitchers mound from getting messed up, but they don't have a home game for another week.

 

[prbiker15]

Wow, alot of people going to the show are tweeting that they haven't seen U2 since Joshua Tree, ZooTV. What they're in for...

 

[DRay9911]

i mentioned this in the anaheim thread. teams are picky about their infield grass.

 

[prbiker15]

Looks like Moonalice (local band) have started their set. Remember, two support acts tonight, along with Lenny Kravitz.

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

Why?

Oakland's show wont end until between 2 and 3am my time (EST), and I've been up since 7am bc of family stuff. Aka Mr CK having to go to work and my son starting the summer camp program over at his preschool.

West Coast shows= long days.

Yikes, when you put it that way... since I got up at 5 a.m., I'm not sure I can make it until U2 actually gets on stage!

Anything about a live feed at all?

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

I'm sure as hell hoping we get a feed...I would never have made it through Seattle's SLP without it.

West Coast shows are always hardest...although getting up at 4am for AZ shows was probably worse, now that I think about it.

 

[theedgeu2]

Hello. I'm hoping I can actually stay up through much of this tonight. Maybe we'll get a feed that's not fuzzy. I'm hoping!

 

[prbiker15]

Hope I manage to stay up, West Coast shows are hard for us in the EST/AST timezones..gonna listen to some U2 on iTunes.

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

Edge in Seattle.

 

[prbiker15]

See the sun rise in her soul...listening to Luminous Times (Hold on to Love)

Looks like Moonalice are done with their set, Lenny Kravitz yet to come and U2 is just on the horizon.
