Memorial Stadium and the new Owen Field: U2 Stage (big .jpgs)

[Lott's Bandana]

Short title for Baj...ok, not really.

I know I posted these in another thread, but I thought some would be interested in my photo series of the build.

I'm going to do my level best to take some pics each day to document the construction.

I know this is on Soonersports as a webcam, but these are stills and a cool history.

First day, Tuesday 13 Oct:

It warms my heart to see that U2 is easing their carbon footprint. :D

[Lott's Bandana]

LiveNation is picking up that tab too, Ron.

Ya think they're making some $$$?

Yeah, a friend of mine drove all the way from Pensacola with her husband to go to that concert and they said it was good.

Whoever, I think it's ridonkulous to tour with >90 trucks. I worked many a show at LNC back innaday and most shows maybe had three trucks. I can remember when Madonna had about 12 trucks around '90 in Houston. I prefer smaller stripped down shows for the most part. I dig getting the whole experience along with a couple thousand other folks.


and Live nation is the debil.

Check that... need to install the giant radio tower in the middle-top. Youll know what I mean when you see it.

BTW, the David Bowie song they walk out to is awesome.

[MamaMia]

[SeattleOUstudent]

Brings me back to the Live Waterhole Webcam in Africa a few years back....that was some good stuff!

So is that amazingly expensive and unnecessarily intricate stage their way of paying off third world debt?

[OklahomaTuba]

So is that amazingly expensive and unnecessarily intricate stage their way of paying off third world debt?Heh. I heard they moved their "charity" to a nice tax-free island in the Caribbean.

Bono is such a hypocrite on that stuff its not even funny.

[StoopTroup]

Heh. I heard they moved their "charity" to a nice tax-free island in the Caribbean.

If I had Bono's money...I would be a huge hypocrite.

I would still pray for tebow too.

[SeattleOUstudent]

[Xstnlsooner]

DUDES! that was one FANTASTIC show, extravagant or not!

Like you or anyone of us have NEVER done anything hypocritical!
Quite a statement there Tuba!

[Taxman71]

So, paying less taxes and *potentially* have more to distribute to charity is bad? To who, the IRS?
