Okay guys, I'm trying to make this the most memorable U2 concert for me, since this is the first time I'm seeing them live. I have some questions all you veterans of this sort of thing that you may be able to help me with. We have lower bowl seats in section 21, row 30ish, and we were planning on buying some GA tickets too, just to see how close we could get to the front by the stage. We were planning on lining up at around 5 am just to see what we could do. If we couldn't get close enough to the front of the stage, we would just say screw it and then go sit in our other seats. Is this possible? Or is this considered to be kind of cheap? Now for instance, we don't do this whole GA ticket thing, me and my Mum (I'm only 18, and a huge U2/The Edge fanatic) were going to try and catch a glimpse of them before the show. My Dad and my Step-Mom saw U2 last year in Toronto, and they were lucky to be able to spot Bono and Adam (couldn't see the Edge or Larry) out signing a few autographs and whatnot before getting into their SUV and heading into the stadium. Any suggestions as to which entrance they'll be entering in? I have never been to Spartan Stadium (I live in Canada) and have no idea which entrance seems most fit for them to come through. And my last question is something that worries me a little. I was looking at pictures of the Stadium on MSU's website, and it appears that there really isnt seats, but more like benches. People are gonna be standing on them and its gonna be really hard to keep track of where our actual seats are and I can definitely see some people trying to push their way down in the bowl trying to get better seats... Hope someone can help me here! Can't freakin' wait! 4 more!!!!!!!!
Four more days! Rock and rollercoasters in nw Ohio today. Detroit (Lathrup Village) with the parents through Saturday. U2 with the girlfriend, U2-scholar sister-in-law, & big brother (who took me to my first concerts like Rush, Rolling Stones, & ELO back in the day) on Sunday!
...this is the wrong time of the month for this to be happening to me.![]()
Sounds like MSU thinks we are all hooligans.
I expect that treatment from U of M, not MSU.
Maybe I should wear my Ohio State t-shirt to the show.
hahaScrew them. The U2 train is coming and they better get the hell outta the way!![]()
EVERYONE GOING SUNDAY:
Spartan Stadium just started a "no bag" policy. Ladies, no purses of ANY SORT. I just called MI myself. Nothing but what can fit in your pocket and that WILL be searched at the gates.

With my luck that will be my problem too. I'm thinking of turning up wiht my purse, show them my Ontario license and pretending I only speak french: " uhh, I didnzt know uh.." I could probably pull it off
Love the tampon idea too![]()

I just received a tweet saying that U2 will probably be playing to a half empty stadium? I know Michigan isn't the most awesome place as seeing as I am a Buckeye but is that true? A half empty stadium? Does anyone have anymore news on this?
Can't wait until the @michiganstateu security tells 1000s of women they weren't allowed to bring their purse. Not a policy ANYWHERE else.
Assume @michiganstateu has already warned U2 they will be playing to a half-empty stadium while they all take their purses back 2 their car?
Hold on.
Was that PART TWO of my rant against MSU security? Here's what I just tweeted out...
SORRY! My Crackberry cut off that second part!! LOL!!! sorry for the confusion!!![]()
YES!! Please wear your THE Ohio State University shirt! We are coming up from Columbus and Cleveland so any BUckeye love is AWESOME love!![]()
I'm wondering if there is a "no jacket" policy because I can tie a jacket around my waist and stuff those pockets full.
Also, does "no bags" mean we wont get bags at the souvenir stands?
Tweet complaints to @michiganstateu
I'm also considering telling @360fromtheedge about the unfair policies regarding their female fans at this stadium.
Nothing like telling the band how shitty the venue they're letting host them is treating the fans.
My tweet:
ClaytonsKitten @michiganstateu - so, where exactly should the 1000s of women coming in for the #U2360 show put our tampons since u arent allowing purses?
Nice job. They are being ridiculous. Our crew is doing hardcore GA and we're not risking some draconian stadium policy to take our purses. That being said, I'm not happy about having to cater to their shit either, it's outrageous.
Odds are if enough people complain between now and Sunday, they'll remove it. It's stupid. Just plain stupid and us females should not have to suffer for it.
I'm considering calling the local tv/radio/newspapers in MI and bitching about it. Nothing like making the security team look like a bunch of sexist pigs, right?![]()
