Jade Stadium (or AMI or whatever it's called now) is a sports arena.. so it's probably fairly similar in size to Mt Smart... in that it's big enough for a rugby field/cricket ground.............................Mt Smart is big enough for a league field and BDO.

Thanks! Any idea how many people?

41,500 in Chch according to Wikipedia.

I'm not sure what the distinction between Mt Smart and Ericsson Stadium is... perhaps Ericcson is the name of the whole complex or an old name? When PJ were there in 95 they played the Mt Smart Supertop which is the shitty boiler room tent for BDO - sits behind the grandstand.

According to Wikipedia it's capacity for concerts is 47,000

Ahhhh I love it!!!

Jim wants to have a Jager competition with me! :? The first and only time I had Jager was on my 28th birthday at Eskimo Joe -- had 5 shots in about half an hour, few beers, got to the venue, have photos of me watching and dancing to Eskimo Joe but CANNOT even remember what they look like or that they were even on stage. Woke up and thought "that was the BEST night I've had in ages".......then proceeded to spew my guts up.

So bring it on, Jim! Nah, I'm not having 5 in a row like that. Fuck that. I'll space them out more this time!

so adeliade is going to be the best show is it? if thats the case then I will have a few at the melbourne show, and stay sober for the adeliade show!

as for seeing people drunk, dont you have the rule what happens on tour stays on tour!

Yes so the NZ venues are all big. There will be no intimacy at any of these gigs.

:!: Ohhh...he's getting serious now! Out comes the :!:

Okay, I'll stop now....ruin my fun, why don't you! :x

The only person you'll be getting intimate with at these gigs is the person you're squashed up next to in the Pit!

I really need to get to the States to see them at some smaller venues next year. These venues are really going to lack that spark, imo.

don't underestimate how long we kiwis have been waiting.. i remember clearly... vedder at the welli gig in 98 said "we'll see you... soon, i guess.."


WE BELIEVED HIM. granted he did come over for 7 world collide, but even that was over 8 years ago

they'd better not make any nasty comments about wellington... :evil: most international acts try to do that... i hope they have more class...

but i am a bit of a loser, so...
