San Francisco has Candlestick Park, where the football 49ers play, but they haven't hosted a concert there in years. U2 will probably play the Oakland Coliseum across the bay (where the Raiders play). San Diego has Qualcomm Stadium, where the Chargers play.
The original tour rumor was that the first show would be in Vegas, probably at Sam Boyd Stadium, where the first PopMart show was held (memorably). Boyd only has one deck, no tiers, so unless U2 came up with a brand new set design in the past four months, I don't think stadiums with tiers are necessary for the stage to function.
Didn't Green Day play candle stick with American Idiot?
I think sam boyd is the only stadium in nevada.
I imagine that the routing of the US tour will follow the pattern of outdoor stadiums in the north, then outdoor stadium in warmer places, then indoor stadiums.
What venue do they play in Montreal? Olympic must have been blacklisted for stadium shows for acoustic reasons. Don't know much of where the CFL football team plays.
