Wow, best wishes to Bono but I am really afraid that Minneapolis is not going to happen....
Word from SLC is that the tour will now start in Mpls.
"Minneapolis is first."
According to @u2 (via Twitter) there's supposed to be some sort of official announcement on Monday...
His health is more important, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I was hoping for the shows that week to still be on (I'm doing Edmonton that week as well - and will be adding cancellation insurance to my flight booking this weekend, just in case.)
I was going to suggest the Leaning Tower of Pizza for Saturday night. It's stumbling distance from the Stadium and everything on campus, across the street from the Days Inn.
Leaning Tower
(it's the 2501 University address)(of course their map link is broken)

It's nothing special at all, usually not crowded, but the food is pretty good even if the seats and tables can be sticky. Hey, it's a university bar.
7 Corners is great but it's a little in between where people may be staying. I love Town Hall's beer.
As far as getting to the stadium from the MOA? I vote light rail and then a cab from downtown, too. If you do take a cab from the MOA, tell the driver to take Hiawatha Ave./Hwy 55 (same road). The 35W/Hwy 62 rebuild is crazy-making. I'm sure the light rail runs late enough on Sunday night to get you back to the MOA, but it's worth doublechecking. Downtown is just so much easier to get a cab. Although, I think some cabs hang out at the Radisson on campus.
WCCO news just said that the U of M said that the show was still on for June 27th....
Tell me where, I'll cab it there!
I just saw that too but it depends on his recovery.....

cori and I are taking the same cab
It's the arw party cab
sounds good....I'm really unfamiliar with the U area since I went to school elsewhere. But I did spend many a Friday/Sat night at Grandma's and the rest of the bars on 7 Corners so that's my only reference to the bar scene on campus. So where ever is fine with me as long as it's easy for the people without vehicles.
