Now has been changed to a 35,000 Stadium in IORR 2005 page.
I wish it was the small arena. I'm actually glad DC got one show.
I couldn't take it there twice. But 3 shows in a week will be very interesting to see. I may have to drop Charoltte from my list

This could be the 1st time Blue Devil and Tar Heel fans actually get along.

I don't recall them ever doing 2 shows in North Carilina.

Personally, I wish they'd play Cameron Indoor Arena.

Bummer. Cameron Indoor would have been a cool place to see them. No way I'll drive 8 hours now just to see them in another stadium.

if it happens, what would be a near hotel or b&b ? any recommendation ?

I'm sooooooooooo excited! I hope this happens. I'm only 3 hours away. I could possibly see the Stones 3 times this tour. That's never happened in my life. OK, I think I'm coming back down to earth now. Thanks for posting the article Joelle. Later y'all, cw

that article pretty much sounds like it's confirmed to me

yeh heres "official" word about the change...been to many shows in Cameron, nice size but bleachers, not fixed seating....would require GA...Duke and Carolina fans get along?? haha....

DURHAM -- The Stones may be rolling into Duke this fall.

University officials have been in contact with booking agents for the Rolling Stones about a possible Oct. 8 concert at Wallace Wade Stadium during the veteran rock band's 2005-2006 world tour, university spokesman John Burness confirmed Tuesday night.

On Tuesday, a Duke basketball Web site, dukebasketballreport.com, featured a link to a European Rolling Stones fan site listing tour dates and venues, iorr.org.

The fan site listed the Duke concert as only rumored and as taking place in Cameron Indoor Stadium, which seats about 9,000. Most other venues in the tour seat in the tens of thousands.

The concert, if it happens, would not be in Cameron but in Wallace Wade, the university's football stadium, Burness said. It has a capacity of nearly 34,000 for football games.

The concert would fit between Stones' shows scheduled for Oct. 6 in Charlottesville, Va., and Oct. 10 in Philadelphia, according to the fan Web site list.

The fan site says that the Duke show replaces one that had been tentatively scheduled for the Borgata casino in Atlantic City, N.J.

Burness said he didn't know whether the Duke venue had been proposed as an alternative to another.

The group, led since the 1960s by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, kicks off its world tour in Boston on Aug. 21.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band was the last act to play on a local campus, with a UNC show on Sept. 14, 2003.

woohoohoo!
