Well that sucks.

 

[nathan1977]

Glad they're doing these again -- nice way to build buzz...

 

[lauramullen]

You need student ID to get in there

 

[pookybear]

Why Fordham???

I guess for those of us who are nearly 20 years out of college this pretty much sucks then doesn't it?

 

[lauramullen]

Maybe Bono's daughter goes to that university

 

[one4u2]

Told you guys out of the city..

 

[buzzkill27]

Maybe Bono's daughter goes to that university

Nah,I think she went to NYU for a brief period of time

 

[lauramullen]

ok.

 

[lauramullen]

Does anyone know of a way we can get in?

 

[seajewel]

it really sucks if it's true ... but it doesn't make a lot of sense, they will close down morning classes - not everyone is a U2 fan and it's not feakin high school ... it's going to be a security nightmare for the college makes me feel like they don't want any of their older fans to attend .....

 

[blindinglights]

I wonder about students from other grad. schools...

Agreed

"The band is expected to play at Fordham after appearing on "Good Morning America."

We still got something for Friday...just got to figure out where that is...

 

[lauramullen]

That is true.

 

[Joey788]

I go to fordham! This is so, so awesome! I am so there.

Bring your video camera.

Lucky

that'll be sick to go to. I wish I went to fordham.

 

[lauramullen]

What about us older fans?

 

[jon_lemire]

This is odd. First of all, do we know which Fordham campus? I know the main branch is Rose Hill, in the Bronx, but I find it highly unlikely the band will trek up there to play.

I suspect that they'll play at the Lincoln Center campus, which is at W. 62nd St. and Columbus Ave....about three blocks from ABC's studios (Good Morning America, of course, is an ABC show). Hmmm. I haven't been up there in a while, but I do believe that the Lincoln Center campus had an outdoor plaza where a stage could be set up.

But would a students-only show really generate enough buzz? Will that really not let anyone else in or at least broadcast it somewhere?

 

[lauramullen]

Maybe the GMA show is there.

 

[JCOSTER]

Well that sucks.

[EPCOT]

I know for a fact (sorry, can't reveal sources) that they will be playing on the Rose Hill campus Friday morning. Please excuse me while I explode from excitement.

Joey788, which campus are you at?

 

[lauramullen]

It really doesn't make sense on why they would limit a secret gig to promote an album to only students of an university

 

[JCOSTER]

OMG, I just realized my husbands partners son goes to Fordham! I must tell him!!
