i second that sentiment..
I feel the same way. I still don't see how they could tour stadiums in the US in the fall.

they did it for popmart, no?
It was the second leg of the NA tour. Most of it was done in domes. They would have a hard time starting an outdoor stadium tour in the US in the fall due to weather, the NFL, etc.

It'll be a problem for those have real turf though. When the Police played Wrigley Field 2 summers ago there was endless bitching about the condition the playing surface was left in. It was in such dire shape that it was completely redone in the off season.
Chicago has grass. Soldier Field was in terrible shape almost all season. Baseball stadiums are unlikely due to the playoff.
I would think they would have to divide the North American tour up if they start in the fall. Call me selfish but i have no desire to see a show wearing a hat, mittens and a big winter coat. lol

That is very unlikely to happen.If U2 decide to play a total of 75 to 80 shows in North America, they could get to that number by playing an average of 7 Arena shows in the 11 largest markets in North America. So it would look something like this:
New York City 15x
Boston 10x
Philadelphia 6x
Washington DC 6x
Miami 5x
Chicago 7x
Los Angeles 7x
San Francisco 5x
Montreal 4x
Toronto 6x
Seattle(IF you add in fans from Vancouver and Portland) 5x
It would certainly make it easy on U2, but would be very difficult for a lot of U2 fans across North America who live faraway from these big markets.
^according to the italian fans who spoke to sam o'sullivan, adam at hanover quay they said the US leg would be indoor arenas (at least for the fall leg).
they've had two very successful tours in a row playing indoor venues in the US. don't see why they'd go back to the stadium format when the last example of this in the US was Popmart (i'm personally not a fan of watching concerts on a video screen when i'm at the actual venue but more power to those of you who love the stadium shows).
and i'm sure someone out there knows this: have they ever started a MAJOR tour in the US during the fall period? just curious.
What's wrong with St. Louis? Why could they not sell out a Stadium? Honestly I think that's bull. There's roughly 3 million people living in the greater St. Lousi area. To suggest U2 coudln't sell out a stadium in St. Louis is a bit silly I think. If Edmonton, Alberta, Canada can sell out a 65 000 seat stadium with roughly only a million people living in the area than St. Louis sure as hell can
have they ever started a major tour in the us during the fall period?
1984
So if theyre planning something really spectacular for the outdoor shows, whats it going to be like for the indoor concerts, since that is what the US will be getting for the first leg.....
