Would Aloha Stadium qualify as an 'USA' Stadium?

theu2fly · 12-11-2006, 07:35 PM

Because this would be the first time since 1997, that U2 played a full length concert in an American stadium. I mean he did bring the flag on stage, and the show was near sold out (why wasn't it sold out?)

But this makes me wonder if they'd consider playing stadiums next tour?

Hawaii is after all a US State....so I dunno, It definitely wouldn't come under a Europe show .

As for the next tour, It really all depends on what U2 are going for.

NEAR sold out???? You mean I coulda got a ticket???? If it wasn't, it was the only one in the U.S.

I've been led to believe that Hawaii is, in fact part of the USA.

Someone told me it was a river in Burma.

U2 played 3 North America Stadiums 10 months ago.

They sold out the 200,000(?) tickets.

Hawaii didn't sell out. I was pulling up tickets for a friend a few days before the show.

And yeah, Hawaii is part of the US.

If Honolulu did not actually sell out by the time the show began, it was very close. In looking around the stadium during the show, it certainly looked sold out with no noticeable empty places where they sold tickets.

Why wouldn't it count?

bono_man2002 · 12-12-2006, 05:53 AM

Bono Also brought out a US flag...

So I think It Counts, Bono may not be able to remember all the lyrics, but he's still young enough to remember where he is...

Unlike the edge.........

If Edge had been doing the flag waving, you can bet that in Hawaii, he would have been proudly waving the flag of Greece while Adam, Bono, and Larry laughed their arses off.

If you mean the N. Orleans gig that was really a football game, not technically a U2 show.

I meant that bit of land geographically below the US. It's kinda hard to see with that huge fence Bush is building.

Check u2tours.com for February 2006.
