Where do you load photos ? I found pictures of the 10 000 seats Estadio Santiago “Changa” Mederos at Ciudad Deportiva.
Thanks.

Estadio Santiago “Changa” Medero is suppose to be the 9 000 seats stadium (+ maybe another 10 000 people standing on the ground) where they will play. Next to Ciudad Deportiva.
Please post this photo.

If they are really filming it for a release, we could expect some changes in the set list as they probably don't want to release a show similar to Hyde Park again.

According to this article published on Saturday, the Tampa Bay Rays may not have access to the Latinoamericano Stadium on the 21st or the morning of the 22nd because last minute field improvements might be needed. I think I read last week that the Cuban baseball league's season ends in early March, so its unlikely it's a baseball game that is going to damage the field and I haven't come across any other events scheduled at the stadium for the weekend of the 18th.

Unless the Stones are playing the stadium on the 20th and it takes over 24 hours to remove the stage.
If the reporter's information about the field needing last minute improvements before the game isn't from a couple of weeks ago, it sounds like the Stones are playing the stadium on the 20th and not near Ciudad Deportiva and the Rays drew the short end of the straw.

It makes sense that the whole it's on again, off again for the past few weeks was the Stones and Rays battling out dibs on the stadium for the 21st and morning of the 22nd. The game has to be held at the stadium and on the 22nd if Obama is throwing out the first pitch. There is another stadium - but it holds less than 10k and is in poor condition - so the game can't be moved to another location or date.
Great .... now getting tickets is going to be like a military exercise. I've always suspected that there won't be any internet sales due to the difficulties that presents with the CUC exchange differences and the internet being lousy in Cuba anyway, so cash only at point-of-sale beforehand it may well be !! Difficulty is going to be keeping abreast of the details with SIM card issues as well. My Casa owner should help here !
Looking forward to the Fan Fest in Porto Alegre tomorrow and of course the gig on Wednesday !

If the Stones were balking on changing the date or moving locations - which it sounds like they were, otherwise why the on again, off again message those of us at the end of the food chain have been hearing? Someone had to take the short straw - either the Rays with no practice time in the stadium or the Stones moving to another location. In either scenario, it sounds like the concert remains on the 20th or 21st - dependent upon which venue the Stones are playing.

Raùl Castro has embraced the current and previous popes hoping it will help end the embargo. A few years ago he made Good Friday a public holiday. Around 60% of Cubans are Catholic, but a much smaller percentage attend mass weekly.
As long as the concert is held after 3pm, there shouldn't be an issue with the concert on the 25th, as long as it's not at the baseball stadium.
GlimmerGirl24. THinking of just getting flights...If I book to return home on March 26 do you think I will be okay..any chance on the concert being March 26 and I would have missed it!Quote
