I think you will be ok...just my opinion though. I was a the last show there and it was great for a night it almost snowed:) The mens bathroom was a mess though, overflowing toilets. I hope the venue got that fixed:)
Good Luck!
I must admit, I have little tolerance for disgusting bathrooms as I have two boys age 2 and 3 who have to go the bathroom about every half inning when I take them to a baseball game or even worse at a Hockey game (more steps to get to the bathrooms) IT becomes quite complicated when they want to use the stall that has 2-3 inches if beer filtered urine coating the stained tile.
There's Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson......and then everybody else.
i can honestly say im scared shitless about hartford today. this is obviously my#1 choice with either msg as #2. i got locked out of both shows yesterday, server crashed on me right after i entered my cc info.
I am more concerned about the disturbing reports of the condition of the restrooms.....I cannot take this risk and will be unable to attend the Hartford show.

I took the trip to Hartford in 06 and have to say it was a pretty weak experience. The venue is fine but something was just... off (can I say strange vibe)... just my 2 cents... but it should sell out today.
Hartford gone in 37 minutes. Mansfield...servers crash, basically sold out in 4.5 minutes, with the odd BUY button reportedly spotted 26 minutes later.

The venue is ok, but completely agree... something was just off.. I can't really put my finger on it either.
When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will know peace.
my bad...I was thinking about Mansfield. Which, by the way, I can't wait for. All the people who didn't get MSG or Hartford may go for Mansfield. We literally may casue an explosion at TC headquarters.

If this is honestly a concern for you, there is an alternative.
My dad won tickets to see Audioslave and it came with a separate VIP package that you can buy. It gives you special parking, your own food court and a special VIP bathroom. It may be looking into if it really is a concern for you.

Hartford has always been a disaster (ripping down fences, riots, etc).
Agree completely - I'll be shocked if a Sat or Sun night show isn't added to the Mansfield tour stop.
I hope so, then I can make a weekend out of it

They could even add another Hartford date considering the demand would be there too.

Hartford '06 was a great show but a terrible experience. Venue was a mess, it was pooring cold rain, fratboys and prepschoolers rolling in the mud and then trying to MOSH in the flat strip behind the seating area with people just walking by.
Lot of wasted people throwing muddy shoes into the seated area and finally, getting out of town after the show was a nightmare.
I think someone summed it up best in an earlier thread - very weird vibe. Maybe I'm just getting old and don't have the stomach for the nitwit contingency who just go to the show to get obliterated but itI don't think they get a lot of decent rock shows so people crawl out of the woodwork.
Reminded me of Grateful dead shows in the early 1990's.
My guess is that it will sell out after Mansfield sells out.
"Hey, listen asshole, one more fucker throws a fuckin' quarter up here and we're outta here, I'm tellin' ya, FUCKER! What the fuck, you're blowin' it for fuckin' everybody. Hit me with a fuckin' quarter again and, fuck it, I'm outta here. We're all outta here. Fuck you, and if anyone sees someone throw fuckin' change right next to them, you have my permission to beat the fuckin' holy shit outta them."
I am more concerned about the disturbing reports of the condition of the restrooms.....I cannot take this risk and will be unable to attend the Hartford show.

Does anyone think they will add a 2nd night in Hartford? They play there 6/27 & don't have another show until 6/30.
Same here. Mainly because Hartford is a bigger venue so more pairs should be available and because Boston is a highly desired spot for fans to go.

IMO they would add another Mansfield before they would add another night in Hartford.
Um, you live in Conn., right? Correct me if I'm wrong, but tickets don't go on sale until 2 pm local time.
ur wrong. its 12pm EST.
I mean, if you have extras and all.
Good luck to everyone anyway.
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
I wish it was 2 pm
I'm callin it here!
Im worried about the Boston show too!
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away

yup! i dont like it there but Im still going because its so close to me LOL
I went to a DMB show there years ago and the same thing happened with riots!
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
Yeah it seems to happen there a lot!!!!
i think maybe that will factor in in it selling out, right.
after all, that's the reason i'm going for this show...
Esther's here and she's sick?
hi Esther, now we are all going to be sick, thanks
May 13,2006...Hartford,CT back on the map!!!
