Pearl Jam @ New Meadowlands Stadium

pearljamdude420

thats stupid if pearl jam is gonna play a indoor stadium venue in ny, why not play at the carrier dome in syracuse? carrier dome has hosted pink floyd before, rolling stones multi times. it be a better venue, its not as big as the new meadowlands will be . yet it can still hold 50k for concerts, cuse carrier dome would be 10x better than new meadowladns, and the views in carrier dome would be better too for most people , since its not as big

hey dewie are you a fan or what? you always sound so negative when it comes to the group I don't why you are in the fanclub if you don"t have anything good to say about the band, but I do agree they wouldn't sell out the new giants or whatever stadium especially after doing shows in May, but I would go nonetheless!

You agree with me, so maybe you shouldn't be in the fan club.

The new stadium in New Jersey is not an indoor stadium. And if Pearl Jam wants to play a stadium show in metro New York, they're not going to play an arena show over four hours away upstate.

nope, Letterman....

the Meadowlands Brass asked Springsteen to play there first,
he turned them down
( guess he's had enough closing out that other place just a few feet away )
so then they asked Bon Jovi to open it up .
Pearl Jam would be the ultimate ,
but I just dont see it happening.
( As much as we love them , they might not sell this one out )

maybe your right, i wikipedia it

so the new st adium wont ha ve a retractable roof ? i thought the whole reason for new stadium was to have the roof with it, so they could host super bowls if they wanted to, or final 4's in the future. even heard on espn before it was gonna be like the stadium in glendale az, but no retractable roof now?

pj wont ever play therei f you ask me 80k is too many people, they better off play yankee stadium or citi field where the mets play, they dont hold as many more like 40-50k is more reasonable

they are trying for the super bowl in 2012 i think. i don't know why they didn't try for a retractable roof. I mean other than the price.

Mookies Uncle

My source at the Bada Bing says they will play the IZOD later this year.

(Seriously, though a long-time acquaintance in NJSEA Operations told me this last week.)

IMHO, no freakin way will PJ play a big stadium in the US - at least until their "Steel Walkers" tour!

(Fenway always possible someday as it is not big).

Earliest would be 2014. 2012 and 2013 are already scheduled for Indianapolis and New Orleans, respectively.

Bon Jovi has already been announced as first band to play the new stadium. Those dates are May 26, 27 and 29.

The whole Oz/NZ '09 tour was in stadiums.

Having had that experience, I greatly prefer seeing them inside in an arena.

Bon Jovi can sell out 3 dates at a 60k+ venue?!?! Do you New Yahkaz blame this on Jersey or are both state guilty of this sad fact

They need to play in the ROCK. Great new arena.

I'd rather see them at the Stone Pony.

I agree 10/22 would be awesome, but doubt that would be possible. There is a Notre Dame vs. Army football game on 10/23, so that would be a pretty intense turn-around. If it were leading into a Sunday game, that would be one thing, but having to have the stage and everything cleared out for a game that starts at noon. No way...

Isn't this the game they are playing at the new Yankee Stadium?

Free show at the Hatch Shell on the Esplanade! (Having been there for the Green Day debacle in 1994, I know it couldn't be a bigger mess than that.)
