Yeah...I'm beginning to think that the province next door might F*ck this up.
Come on Quebec.....if Ontario and Alberta can get their shit together.....why can't you?

I don't think there's anything to be worried about. There are still 9 months before the concert, and most bands don't announce their tours so far in advance. My guess is that the band's management group is speaking with the Big O managers to see if the roof can be raised or moved and/or where to position the Claw.
The band is probably also looking at the Hippodrome to see what logistics and costs would be required to increase seating capacity.
I think the only hint we've had is that for a little while the CitiCard Presale listed the Hippodrome as the venue.
Yeah, wished somebody took a screen shot of it before it disappeared into the black hole of unconfirmed rumours. Definitely know I saw it on the website too!
Personally, I really wanna see the upcoming U2 show at "The Big O" simply because I've never seen a concert there.

The audience noise would be ridiculous, but the music....euh, you'll hear a little bit of U2 mixed in with mostly the reverbarations of the 1977 Pink Floyd show still rattling around the upper deck.Yeah, wished somebody took a screen shot of it before it disappeared into the black hole of unconfirmed rumours.

I'm all about the delay of information for this one! The further they push back the presale, the longer I can avoid having to fork over the funds again. I'm okay with that
No you don't.

I don't know anymore.I mean,yesterday i didn't have a good vibe about it,but then again i say to myself,why would they comfirm the city and the date without knowing if there's a venue to host it? It wouldn't make any sense.They have been so careful in regards of comfirming cities for this tour.Look at Europe,they still haven't comfirm Turin and Zurich even though every indications shows they'll play there next year.
So if they went as far as comfirming that they are coming here next summer with a official date,maybe they're just putting the final dots on how the configuration will be for which ever venue they'll play.
Let's hope that they don't have tickets go on sale without a venue being chosen.
It's this very historic concert attendance record of over 78,000 fans for Pink Floyd in this same venue that makes me want it at the Big O so badly. I've seen U2 enough times at so called "good venues" that I wanna experience it at this infamous place. Along with the madness that happened at the Guns n' Roses concert it's got such a notorious past. I'm really crossing my fingers for the Big O!

ticketsnow.com (owned by TM) and a couple of other scalping sites mention Olympic Stadium.
I have a stadium question for those of you familar with the area. It looks as the the stadium is isolated from any hotels in a five-mile radius; is that right? It looks like there's plenty of homes around it. Is it a residential neighborhood?
What's the public transportation like. How easy is it to get from the airport to downtown, and from downtown to the stadium?
There's a hotel across the street from the Olympic Park and 2 minutes from the stadium itself:
Auberge Hotel Universel
Getting to downtown from the airport with public transportation is tricky. You're better off paying $10 for a shuttle bus that will bring you to the downtown bus depot located above the Berri-UQAM subway (metro) station.
Getting from the stadium from there couldn't be easier: you hop on the subway at Berri-UQAM on the Green line (Berri is the junction for three subway lines: Yellow, Green, and Orange) in the Honoré-Beaugrand direction, and after about 10-15 stops, you get off at the Pie-IX station. The stadium is directly above that station.
Let's hope that they don't have tickets go on sale without a venue being chosen.
Who wants to be a part of a presale where you don't know WHERE in MTL you're going to see your favourate band.
