I think these would be possible, subject to us talking more about it and figuring it out. I think all of these are within driving distance. Let's wait for an official announcement of dates though. 05-Mar-06 Jacksonville, Veterans Coliseum USA - FL on Sale 03-Dec-05 07-Mar-06 Duluth, Gwinett Center USA - GA on Sale 03-Dec-05 09-Mar-06 Washington, MCI Center USA - DC on Sale 03-Dec-05 21-Mar-06 Cleveland, Quicken Loans Arena USA - OH on Sale 03-Dec-05

Lisser wrote: Erin, if you all go to Cleveland, you can stop at my house and stay over night and we can drive up to Cleveland together the day of the concert or whatever.

They are hoping that Eminem will turn up to sing the opening to the show in person.

Lisser wrote: LOL Pieter!! Jeroen...Chicago is 317 miles from Detroit. That is about a 6 hour drive. St. Paul is 592 miles from Detroit. That would be about a 12 hour drive. A lot of driving if you ask me over that period of time but I am a spoiled bitch and do not like to sit in a car. I prefer flying. I'd like to see the Chicago show definitely and the Cleveland one. I'm very worried about bad weather though in Cleveland and you might want to consider the possibility of bad weather (snow/ice) for St. Paul also at that time of year.

It's easier to control crowd movement with the seating. 25 years ago at a Who concert a number of people were stampeded and North American promoters from that time have been wary. I think I'll only go to the following 16-Mar-06 Toronto, Air Canada Centre 17-Mar-06 Buffalo, HSBC Arena

That would have been in Cincinnati. Maybe that is why Brian isn't coming? Damn.

Nah, I doubt it has anything to do with that since I saw Bruce Springsteen in 2002 at the U.S. Bank Arena and it was General Admission on the floor and everything went smooth. They aren't coming to Cincy 'cos Cincinnati doesn't get shit when it comes to concerts anymore unless it's freakin' Dave Matthews Band or Jimmy Buffett. It's almost like a freak occurrence to get a decent act around here anymore.

I hope some nice seat remain after a bit, since so many shows. also "Milwaukee" is the closest, just a ferry ride over Lake Michigan, the Ferry is 2 miles from my house ^^
