GA, please! No clusterfuck! Let those that do their time properly in line get to go in first, and no stampeding.
So, I emailed TCF Bank two days ago, not about the Chicago "we're gonna get you out of the sun" incident, because people familiar with the stadium were saying how TCF is too small to have a concourse (also, we just got really lucky in Chicago, I guess)
In my email to TCF, I quoted and linked the atu2blog's post on Montreal's horrible GA line, while telling them that atu2blog is a popular fansite, which hopefully makes it reputable in their eyes. I also recounted (subtly suggested
) how some stadiums like Soldier Field lets the GA line in small groups at a time to prevent a stampede.
No replies from them, but hopefully this messgae is going past the PR puppets to top brass and security. TCF (like many other stadiums, and especially being a college stadium) will probably not expect U2's GA line to get so hardcore and so early on.
If you think this is a good idea, go ahead and email TCF Bank Stadium about your other good GA experiences (specifically mention tangible things, like "metal barricades"). But hurry. We need all the time for this subtle suggestion to diffuse up to top brass and for them to do something about it by Friday/Saturday!
