I'm sure from way up there i'll see EVERYTHING!! haha!
While waiting (a very long time) for a cab back to my hotel after the show last night I was watching the transports leave (taxi line was near their part of the parking lot) and had the wonderful thought that I will be seeing that same stage in Edmonton!
OMG, wait till you guys see the new video stuff (and a couple other surprises)!
I'm pretty high up too. Section R2, row 78 which is on the east side of the stadium, 10 yards past midfield going north. I'm sure the view will be awesome. The sound worries me a tad, but I don't think it will be too bad
I've got a pal on site who's going to do an awesome blog post for me later tonight... stay tuned.

Hey guys,
Do you have a parking plan for the show? I'm wondering where I should park as the information package email that I received stated that there was no parking at Commonwealth.
They're starting to set things up inside the stadium now. I actually managed to get a couple pics, but somehow I lost them while uploading them.
According to satellite mode of Google Maps, the north side of the stadium doesn't have high stands. So I'm sure you'll manage to get plenty of unobstructed shots of the construction.
Thank you so much, SuperFlyguy!
I will definitely use your piccies - MUCH apprciated.

There is little to no parking at Commonwealth. They have a transit parking lot across the street at the LRT (subway) station. But it will fill up quickly. I'm not going to drive there because of this. I'm just going to hop on the LRT. It will take me right there. If you have a hotel downtown, I would recommend you just jump on the LRT as well. It's quick and cheap ($2.85 fare per person). If you're not sure how to use it, lemme know and I'll help ya figure it out.
that lot won't be available as ETS is doing park & ride for before/after the concert - and that is where the buses assemble.
There is always the possibility of parking at a different lot near LRT and taking the LRT to the stadium.
and btw the first northbound lrt run is at 5:36 am
