    The floor is the smallest I've ever seen in an arena. A fraction of what we're used to in the States. Also, the friendliest staff and shortest beer lines you'll ever come across. For those traveling in the night before go to Fazenda for dinner. Brazilian steakhouse. I stayed at the Hilton and it's right behind the restaurant and a 10 minute walk to the arena.

    I'm pretty sure the first tier of seats in that photo are removed, based on pics I've seen of the Kaiser Chiefs gig (the first row of seats is quite high up, whereas they are at ground level in this pic). Think about it, the stage has to fit there too! Doesn't leave much room for GA with that setup.

    I was at the recent gig in San Diego, there was a curfew there, house lights went on just after 11 but the band didn't stop playing till 5 minutes before midnight.

    YES, I got GA!

    This will be the first time since Binaural tour I have seen the band, and the first time ever in GA. I have skipped every tour since then as I have not been able to get GA, and I never wanted to see them from the back of an arena again.

    So happy!!

    Looks to be approximately the size of a hockey rink in size before the stage is inserted along the long side.
    GA should be amazing.
