Between Mick healing up and stadium logistics I'll be really surprised if this tour happens.
They worked around the NFL in 2006, 2005, 2002, 1997, 1994, and 1989. No reason that can't do so again in 2019.
EXACTLY!!!!!!!
This is someone's job to figure it out like they have a million times before and not to mention there is probably over 20 mil dollars in ticket sales at each stop. It will be figured out. NO PROBLEM!
It will happen if Mick and the rest of the Stones are healthy.
The only thing that will stop this tour is if one of them is in bad health.
NEXT!!!!!!!!
PLEASE!!!!!!!
As you have been saying ad nauseum. $20 million is pocket change in terms of NFL dollars and the league WILL NOT take any risks with venues particularly after last year's debacle in Mexico City.
Let me say this one more time . Just for you.
Not only do the Rolling Stones Tour NFL Stadiums during the NFL Football season but so do many other bands. Year after year after year after year.
And for the Rolling Stones .....unless they start earlier....are about to do it again.
What part of this do you not understand?
They will work around the NFL Schedule easily.
NEXT PROBLEM PLEASE!
Let me say it just for you, the stadiums are booked well in advance, The NFL is not going to allow a Friday show with a Sunday game. Most NFL stadiums do not have lots and lots of concerts during the season. There may be a few but rebooking a stadium tour in NFL venues is not going to be easy. You seem to think it is a trivial exercise. Nothing will be booked until the doctors say its OK, the insurance company says its OK and the NFL says its ok. More than just Mick's health.

"The NFL would never allow a show mid-week of two home games"
Why wouldn't the NFL allow a concert to be held mid-week between two games?
The Stones and other bands have done it many times before. The stage takes about 3 days to put up and a day to take down - even quicker if construction goes around the clock. So, it's entirety plausible to hold a show on a Thursday or Friday and have the field ready in time for a Sunday game.

Not a field where an NFL team plays. Field must be certified 72 hours before kickoff i.e. Thursday 1PM. Even covered up, a field will be damaged with 20,000 people on it if there is bad weather.

i have season tickets to Chicago Bears and many times in the Fall, the field is trashed because of an event a few days before, either a college game, nations rugby, U2, taylor swift, or whomever. It happens everyone, fields get trashed. The city of chicago buys a new grass field for Soldier at least twice a year because of an event. lets just chill and take a break from all this speculation for a few days. See ya next week. im resting my Stones Energy for the early Fall....[/quote

Should be possible in US as well.
It is just a matter of protecting the field itself.
Building up / taking down the stage is a day job.
Quickly done with the new module-stage-concept.

Any stadium show I have been to either natural grass or turf. It has been covered with a hard cover board with some type tarp material over it.

What everyone doesn't realize is that the NFL schedule just wasn't whipped up yesterday. It is only the release to the public that is today. The schedule has been known for probably the last month to 6 weeks. You have to understand that there are 4 games being played in London this year. Those dates have to already been decided early just for the sheer logistics of playing there (I've seen 2 games in London, and there is a lot that goes into playing there). Plus the logistics of just playing road games (hotel rooms booked, etc.) Also the networks have to know because of their logistical concerns.
My guess is that the work on rescheduling this tour started the minute the Stones knew their dates were being postponed, combined with consulation with Mick's doctors. I'm also guessing the reason why nothing hasn't been said yet is perhaps due because the majority of these games are being played in NFL stadiums that there is a gag order in place, demanded by the cities that the Stones are playing in with the heavy hand of the NFL as well telling them until the NFL schedule is released, nothing is released in regards to the tour. I have a hunch things will move quickly in regards to tour scheduling after tonight.

Is their any other football stadium surface other than grass or turf? If there is heavy rain, a natural grass surface covered by a hard cover with 20,000 people on it will not be ready to play an NFL game the next day. Again, everything is easy and you think the Stones are the priority here. Next you will tell everyone the Stones can play a weekday game in Santa Clara and blow the curfew.

all of this is putting the cart before the horse. mick has to get back to 100% then they can think tour dates. who knows how long the rehab for strengthening his heart is gonna take. besides F the NFL. those idiots don't even know the rules to their own game. as soon as the money is on the table they will take it. if the stones do make a fall tour it will be just like every other fall tour. a bunch of the cities are warm weather cities.

I think that's Glendale, AZ. The whole field can be rolled out.

Do you know how little a venue makes on a top-tier act like the Stones, Springsteen, U2?

No. Go ahead and ask Soldier Field. I’m sure they love looky-loos.

Don’t forget to add food costs, parking.
We’ll wait for your tally.

The point is no matter it is covered. And more than likely zero damage. Arlington stadium totally removes the turf and there is a concrete surface. Google that pretty cool actually how they do it.
And one more one last time. It will be fine. Pretty sure they got it figured out.

They are not playing Arlington so not sure your point.

It takes about 2 or 3 days to build the steel stage structure and another day to load in the "production" (lights, sound, video, stage set), and a day to take everything down after the show. So, although not an ideal situation it's plausible to do a show on a Thursday and still have the field ready in time for a Sunday game provided the field is artificial turf (and pending approval of the NFL).
