So, one night only for Toronto and Chicago, but it doesn't say anything about one night in Philly. 
So, bring on the second!

After the other rumors about them coming back Foxboro, Im quite honestly devestated. This was really the only show I could possibly go to. I wish I knew people in other locations so I could travel with someone but I really dont know a lot of U2 fans personally.
wanna hitch hike to Montreal or Toronto with me? I don't know if I can pull off traveling again to see them, I wish I had a few more months to throw together some change. I'm gonna give it a shot if Foxboro doesn't happen.

Did they not actually watch the band play 24 live tracks on YouTube?

I really cant believe theres nothing around New England...
Should it be that suprising that there aren't any 2010 dates in New England if the second Foxborough show didn't sell out?

Except that it did, according to Billboard.

I'm sad but not shocked that Foxboro didn't get another date. But we got 2 fantastic nights. 
I'm determined to make Toronto and Miami work.

There were rumors this might happen, but I still dont want to believe there is no new england date... What surprises me more is that Chicago, Miami, Philly, Toronto get a date.......... but NOT BOSTON????? That would feel like major rejection!!!!
I really hope Boston gets a date....
Its possible but don't count on it. They already played to a combined total of 138,000 people in Boston and that second date did not completely sellout. Philadelphia did not get a show in 2009! Miami did not get a show in 2009! But your Boston got TWO SHOWS!
Chicago and Toronto are getting THIRD shows because their second shows soldout unlike Boston's second show.
I think the best chance for a New England date would be in Hartford.

While I am excited to have U2 playing a show only 20 miles from my house, I will concede that the Big A will be a relatively poor venue for the 360 show, perhaps one of the weakest venues on the tour.
It will be hard to find good seats for this show, to be perfectly candid. In fact, all things considered, it would have been better for the 2010 L.A. show to be at the Coliseum.
I will be curious to see what the U2 seating chart looks like in Anaheim. Here's the baseball seating chart:

I didn't see anything empty seats at Boston 2 and it was louder than both Toronto shows. Anyways, July in Foxboro seems more appealing than September. The weather will be nicer, school is out.. but I forgot, U2 hates FoxboroUGH 
You do know that there's almost certainly going to be a dedicated South American Leg, right?

Well lets make it easier for them: LETS DEMAND IT! I say protest!!!
BOSTON BOSTON BOSTON BOSTON!!!! We should go to Gillette and demand that Bob Kraft invite U2 back. I work at the stadium, maybe I can work something out w/ Bob.. ugh seriously, there NEEDS to be a NEW ENGLAND date. I cant believe after all those rumors of Gillette, Fenway and Hartford, theres NOTHING!! mrclutch34do

Because they want to play TWO shows this time or maybe a show in Anaheim and one in San Diego.

True, yet it is a market where they couldn't sell out 2 shows in 2009.
Maybe they're waiting to announce a Fenway Park date (or dates) in a separate press release.

A sellout based on the tickets released for the show, not the maximum physical capacity of the venue.

i'm more concerned about GA. Will there be as many GA's available for a baseball venue. How did toronto work? Traffic will suck going back to LA. Is Anaheim their way of reaching the san diego market? I hope GA isnt as hard to get as it was for pasadena.

I can't believe they are coming to MSU! I would have bet money they'd play at Ford Field or Comerica Park... But not complaining that they will play at my alma mater!!!!

Iv read that both sold out, havent seen anything that said they didnt. Was there anything written or is that based on something somone at the show said? There were tickets available the day before every show they did this leg in NA so doesnt that mean no place sold out?

ERRR I just wish there wernt all those rumors about Foxboro 
I was somewhat prepared for there NOT to be a show but then different sites rumored it, and it ended up in a lot of places, printed that they were coming back. Then we get the "survey" asking if we would come see them in July 2010 and it almost gave the rumors a leg to stand on.

Anaheim has a grass infield (unlike Rogers Centre's artificial surface), so the infield area in Anaheim (including the dirt area) will be blocked off.
Unfortunately, this means that there will be a large empty space between the back of the Field/GA and those fans sitting in the area behind home plate. Not exactly great for concert atmosphere.
Historically, U2 has not avoided the San Diego market on their tours.
