I can see where you're coming from U2Gator... I thought they'd surely visit New Orleans, or Mississippi even! (ok fine that was a stretch
) Oh well, there's a Texas date, my neighboring state, so I'll not complain too much

In the "Rumors" section of U2tours.com it states that a radio station in Alabama has recently reported that U2 will be playing Birminham and New Orleans. So don't panic yet.
There's no reason to get all worked up about the unofficial dates. Only a few more days until the official announcement is made. I'm not sure where the Sept. 11 announcement date that's being reported came from, or if it's accurate, but I've also read "within the next 7 days" so it ought to be soon.

The problem is that U2 has never had a huge fanbase or following down south, especially recently. For the Popmart tour they hit the southeast extensively and those shows produced some of the worst attendance figures of the tour. Same for the Outside Broadcast tour in 1992. Its nothing personal to the fans down south, it is about marketing and sales. It is a business after all.
I highly doubdt they will play New Orleans or Birmingham (not saying its impossible though). There is only one open date that is an unknown and I have a feeling one of the following will be in that date: KC, St Louis or Nashville. Most likely KC. Wont be long and we will know for sure.

Sorry diamondbruno9, I'm a bit slow today. I live in Australia and I'm just getting a bit sick and tired of people in America & Canada complaining about the tour when we ( & New Zealand, Japan, South Africa, Mexico, South America,etc ) are completely deprived of seeing U2 at all. You guys should realise how lucky you are that's all. I'm not saying that everyone there can afford to travel to other cities but it's a HELLUVA lot cheaper then coming from all the way here.

According to a radio station here in KC, we'll have a show. I'll wait for a formal announcement before getting too excited.

Note that the billboard article said multi-night stands aren't included. You have to add 1 to 3 nights for New York, L.A., and Chicago...

you are what you is
I've seen U2 three times in my life
everytime in Holland
everytime it took me at least 1 1/2 hour to get at the venue
and Holland is only a small country
when you live in Norway or Sweden you probably won't get anywhere in 1 1/2 hour
but at least (most of) Europe always does get a chance to see U2
Australia, Asia etc. don't
25 minute drives to see U2 rule

Yeah, no kidding!
I was lucky for Elevation. We only had to drive an hour and a half each way. Unfortunately for the driver (my father) he had to get up at 5:00 in the morning to go to work. The things dads will do for their daughters!
Back where we used to live, Dad had to drive us about 5 hours each way to see POPMart. I was happy to be THAT close to anywhere that they were playing!

I know - I feel bad for the folks who don't have a chance at all.
On this tour, the closest they played to me was 200 miles (a 3 to 4 hour drive). I had hoped they might come here (Nashville, TN) since that was a rumor, but it sure isn't looking like it.
But Blue was right - there isn't much of a following here. People look at me like I'm mad when I talk about U2 - and the worst show for the audience involvement I've ever been to was in Memphis, TN. So I guess I'll just travel and be glad I have the opportunity!
