honestly, given that this is the first show of the north american leg and such, your best bet would be to call soldier field and ask them. hopefully you can park early though.
Are U2.com only sending out these Red Zone emails to people right before each show? or has anyone received these new emails for later shows like LA or Vegas. Just wondering since I have not received that new email
I hope everything's ok!Yeah the first one, are people receiving that new recently? Maybe I misunderstood... I have RZ in LA but haven't received any emails lately.
I would be freaking over that one you just got tho too
It doesn't look like it, which is too bad for a lot of people who were going to try. Its a shame that there seems to be such "grey area" of information in regards to the redzone auctions.What I mean is, for instance, do we know why (officially) Chigago got a second auction and other cities have not? I mean what is the number which determined that desicion?
too bad...just got my RZ notice for TO2...pick up tix starting 10am day of...
Ya I got my notice for TO 1 and it says after 10, day-of also. I thought that you could pick up day before and/or day-of?
as soon as i can get down...although cousin who is watchin our little one will not get here until about 6 so after that...

bathroom facilities for Red Zone is just 3 porta-things. So we just used the regular facilities.
Red Zone was awesome!!! We had Red Zone 2 for Saturday nights show. I loved it! We waited outside to see the band arrive and were treated with Bono coming out to say hi for a few minutes... got video and photos of him that came out great.. will post later. Then at 6pm we walked in to the stadium and into the Red Zone. Even though I am 7 months pregnant, we decided to take the rail and see if it was calm enough for me to stay there. We got the first open rail spot which was right past the green tape on the rail... AMAZING that when the show started, we only had maybe 1 to 2 people behind us at any time!!!! I was never once pushed and never felt crowded at all. The people around us were all great and excited I was there pregnant and everyone was happy in their spots. When we would go to the restroom or to get food we all watched eachothers spots. It was so mellow and wonderful! I noticed most of the crowd was all towards the front of the Red Zone, where you can see the front of the stage better. There were probably 6-7 rows back of people there or more. It looked pretty packed there. I was perfectly happy with my side view and comfortable spot. I was also pleasantly surprised at how close the main stage seemed, in photos I thought it would be much further away. Wish they wouldve used the catwalk more but we did get a lot of Adam right in front of us which was awesome. Bono came by once and Edge and Larry once as well. Unforgettable Fire and Bad are my 2 favorite U2 songs, so I was thrilled to get them both in one show! I was totally satisfied with my one show this leg and left the stadium more in love with U2 than ever 
About 10 minutes in he looked around and saw him and was like Ah! I see why your eyes are all lit up! I was being really good and didnt want to bother him so I only glanced over a couple times but could see him out of the corner of my eye Best part was .. when Edge was leaving... he stopped right next to us, turned to my husband and said HI! We were both awe struck and couldnt really say anything back! My husband just gave him a nod LOL and I quietly said Hi Edge. Hahahaa. Edge was the one to initiate it and I couldnt believe neither one of us could make out any words or put our hand out for a hand shake. lol. My goal was not to bother him though and so I hadnt prepared myself for a possible hello. 
We also had a fun experience on Thursday night! We went to a late sushi dinner and at about 1230am, we went to the bar at the hotel where U2 was staying to get a drink. We walked in and right in the corner there sat Edge! So I grabbed the only open table in the bar which happened to be right across from Edge! My hubbie got us drinks and he didnt even realize that Edge was sitting there
Another couple fun moments were... Thursday night, we were staying at my friends apartment on Michigan Ave.. and we could actually see the stadium and some of the claw from her rooftop terrace! You could even hear soundcheck! So we went down to soundcheck and listened.. I was interviewed by a news channel because they were fascinated by my belly and that I took our baby in my belly to her first U2 show.... same thing happened on Saturday when we were waiting for the band to arrive... I was interviewed by Channel 5 news! Still have no idea if the segment was aired though!
We had an amazing, unforgettable time in Chicago!!!!!!!!! Thank you U2!!!
