    I once went to a dave matthews band concert at joe louis arena..im going to guess it was probably sometime in 2002 or 2003..... my seats were pretty terrible, second to last row way back across from the stage. Anyway, the acoustics were awful. It wasn't loud at all... very muffled. Sounded like they were playing 3 buildings away from us and we were listening through all the walls. Think the acoustics will be better for PJ? Anyone been to a concert recently at the Joe? If so, how did it sound?

    I've seen Nine Inch Nails, Metallica and Black Keys at Joe Louis Arena. All shows were great and the sound was great as well...which I was surprised considering the age of the arena. I can't wait for this show.

    I ended up with section 113 row 13. I have never been there or sat behind the stage, but is there a decent chance that with the hockey seats being out, that row 13 will not really be the 13th row?

    I remember reading that someone wanted to know if the Robocop statue was up yet. I just found out that this Tuesday is the statue reveal, and the Tigers are going to have a Robocop themed game leading up to it. Apparently Robocop is throwing out the first pitch and stuff. I donated a dollar to the Robocop statue Kickstarter, so I get credit on the website as a sponsor I think.

    I'm in. Section 109 row 9. Where the fan club lottery utterly failed me, ticketbastard redeemed itself. I'll still try to get GA if possible. But, I'm there. Whew.

    was that for just 1 ticket or 2? thats a great seat

    The report about the RoboCop statue reveal was false. :-( It's supposed to be done later in the year. MLIVE and (I think) the Freep had wrong information. Journalism these days...

    Also, don't park within 20 feet of a crosswalk downtown. I was parked like 16 feet away and got a ticket today. Paying off the bankruptcy 1 parking ticket at a time apparently. ~X(

    Hopefully the Indians are still in the playoffs at this point so I can swing down from Detroit and catch a weekend game

    Still in shock that we got GA. I'll be a brand new Michigan resident, and can't wait to experience this show with my boyfriend, this is his hometown show that he's been waiting years for! Lots of exciting things :)

    Also: my best friend is looking for a GA ticket to this show, so ISO 1 GA Detroit ticket. I know, I know, the hot button ticket....but stranger things have happened on here. It would be incredible for my best friend be able to join myself and my boyfriend in GA. To have my favorite people surrounding me, all seeing our favorite band, would mean the world. Please PM if you can help!

    been going to the auto show for about 15 years. we make a trip from akron ohio every year. as for hotels, whatever you do, dont stay at the milner. scary stuff. im coming from akron and staying at the holiday inn express which is about 5 blocks to the venue. the doubletree and hilton garden inn are decent, but i got a good deal on the holiday inn, and coming solo this time, no need to impress anyone. two good spots to eat and drink are slos, and the sweetwater tavern. slos is a good bbq joint with a ton of good beers on draft, and hard to find whiskeys, although that could be dangerous before a show its across the street from the skeletal remains of the giant old train station. sweetwater is downtown and has the best wings ever! no kidding. ever.
