John and Julie - thought you might be interested in this. I would say we'd come out and join you, but I genuinely have no idea who would win out in a Bono vs Sugar Bowl battle on 4th of July weekend! Eddie??
--------------------------------------------------------
The U2 “spaceship,” as Bono describes the Irish band’s monster stage, will land again in Soldier Field next year, on July 6.U2, which opened the North American leg of its massive “360 Tour” at Soldier Field last September, announced Monday that it will extend the tour through America and Europe next year. The July 6 date at Soldier Field is set between a July 3 appearance in Toronto and a July 9 show in Miami, suggesting the band may add an additional Chicago date if ticket demand exists. The show is set on a circular stage underneath a 90-foot-tall, four-pronged canopy that suggests an alien invader from "War of the Worlds." The steel structure takes four days to build, and houses a 150-foot pylon and a 54-ton cylindrical video screen.As stadium events go, the tour is said to be the largest and most expensive of its kind, requiring an army of 2,500 people to stage (500 traveling with the band, and 2,000 local personnel at each stop). Tickets for the 2010 shows will go on sale next month, but no specifics have been announced. Further details are available at U2.com.
