July 20, 2011- New Meadowlands Stadium - East Rutherford - Part 2

[lauramullen]

Why the heck does U2.com have it listed as New York though? oh nevermind....

Last year they kept referring to the Foxboro shows as Boston, but Foxboro is 30 miles away.

Do they need a geography lesson?

and then some..came here for the new dates first their site didn't even work

The Miami stadium technically isn't in Miami either. I'm sure a couple of the European venues are outside the cities they're listed for too.

 

[lauramullen]

The DC show was in Maryland.

 

[Spoutnik]

Montreal shows are actually(if you reallllllllly !!! want to be nip pick) in Côte-des-neiges

I live in NY and everyone just calls that stadium NY. Even NJ people say NY when referring to it.

 

[vjacqb]

NY would like to expand its borders... but doesn't want to include the landfills.
If we could take the NY subway to the stadium, then I would call it NY.

 

[kassandra]

Alma isn't there a train or a shuttle?

 

[vjacqb]

yes, a train and a bus. Both from NJ Transit.
I was referring to people calling it NJ or NY. I would call it NY if the MTA subway ran a service to the stadium.

I'll be ok going to the stadium, I'm probably just going to drive.

Not all of us. I've always resented it being referred to as a New York Arena.

[vjacqb]

Thankfully, though, the tour t-shirts are at least accurate.

 

[vjacqb]

can't argue with you there, Cari. ah well, maybe they'll release some GA...

 

[daygloeyes2]

Might do this show. Boyfriend has expressed interest in going.

 

[jarradhedley]

Im from down under in Melbourne , just bought 2 tix for this show as I am planning my US holiday around U2 now they have just announce the new dates.. Cant wait.

I managed to get second level seats the $95 tickets, in section 222A i thought it was pretty good considering how long they have already been on sale.

 

[U2BROTHR]

I'm coming!!!

[secretly alone]

Good lord, a second thread in one day?!

Little bit that it's not the closer, but oh well. Guess it was going to kind of suck to just drive an hour home after this show and just deflate, haha.

 

[Sicy]

No its the same thread since May. I just changed the title.

 

[bonocomet]

I still plan to be there though I will be coming by myself now new date doesn't work for my daughter... but I suppose I can figure things out within a year.

 

[secretly alone]

Ah, I figured that after I saw all the "new" threads that were already really long

 

[romi]

[kassandra]

[one4u2]

If I can get a red zone ticket I'll have an extra GA ...need to stay on top of an onsale for that!

I may have some extra GA for this show now.... The date interferes with my cousin's wedding and I already missed her big engagement party because it fell on the same day as the Foxboro show! She would kill me if I missed her wedding because too because of another U2 show.

I'm going to have to re-arrange some plans and see what I come up with now.
