Much thanks to RecordHead and Sweet Neo Con for the tips..... you've both just answered some of the questions I was wondering about!

Perfect weather.... Mother Nature has surely blessed us all today!

The shows I've seen there have sounded great...but I'm no expert. Built for music so...

I'm looking at the photo Christian posted where the first rows of the Keithside section are visible

Actually, I've just noticed the pics were taken by Javadave and posted by forsure on the travel info thread. Perhaps the guy who posted it on twitter has been reading IORR.

Just landed in Chicago. Weather looks perfect. I am SO excited!!!

Singles are still popping up on TM. Just pulled Section 1, Row N. Of course, I'm in NYC so I resisted. Looks like a great place.

This looks like it gonna be great. Nice atmosphere and great location for a rock concert. I just hope they won't ruin everything with a boring setlist. I will be the first one to complain about it.

Looking forward to watching the Scopers tonight! Have fun Stones people!

You already are...

Pre-party starts at 5pm. From our local news channel:

This looks like one hell of a place to enjoy the show! Everyone who's lucky enough to be there have a Great Time!

I bet Buddy Guy will do a song with the Stones as well tonight. Hmmm, I wonder if this lucky crowd will get to hear "Champagne and Reefer"?

Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind...

Austrianstones - my phone won't let me call you. Please call me. I am in downtown Milwaukee.

Austrianstones - please text me where to meet you. I do receive your texts. I cannot text or call you.

We all can respect Buddy Guy, but been there done that before. Champagne and
Reefer ?

Finally in Milwaukee.

Long-time lurker looking forward to end my nine-year Stones hiatus since Copacabana Beach'2006. I guess this will be a little more intimate...

Any meeting places? I've seen so many on the two Miwaukee thread.

(BTW: Still one GA Lawn for sale!)

I think that he'll play with them.

Can't really tell from the picture, how deep into the audience does the ramp go?

I was able to do the fanboy thing for a local station (58?)

The misprint on the rainbow-coloured tie-dye T-Shirt (Columbus/Kansas City interchanged) seems to be fixed:

What Fun!

So there is a standing pit ? Nice for those who can be there, not so nice for the people sitting just behind? Well not worse than for the tongue pit of 2012/2013 and Shanghai I suppose...

Buddy opened for and played with Stones in Milwaukee 9/2005 and did Champagne & Reefer. i assume they know that and will do something different.

i don't think there will be a pit...just think that at time of photo they still had not placed the seats yet.


IORR............but I like it!

is this place a stadium or an indor(ish) arena? The roof looks really low, so that it would block the view of people in the outide green seats...

it looks much smaller than the recent venues

Just returned from Summerfest grounds. There was 1 vendor outside the grounds selling almost everything. Didn't see any skyglider merchandise....and no lithographs. I purposely went down to get lithograph early (to take home) so that i wouldnt have to carry around. spoke to one of the guys working the merch tent...said "no lithos".
