The article mentions a press conference will be held in Germany early next week to announce the dates. It seems all of our questions about the fall North American leg will be answered. My guess is that would be on either Sunday prior to the Cologne show or on Monday, as I would not expect them to stay on in Germany past then having 4 days off prior to the St. Denis, France show.
Couple things to point out from the news article. This stadium used to be called Taylor Field until a couple weeks ago when a local company paid for naming rights. It refers to two Grey Cup games being played. Grey Cup is the championship game for the Canadian Football League (our Superbowl)! I would think the weather will still be fairly mild in early October. It now seems that the Stones will have been the biggest concerts ever for most of the Canadian provinces. I think the only possible exception is when Pink Floyd played 3 shows at Olympic Stadium in Montreal 1994.
I'm just wondering now what venue they'll play in Vancouver? BC Place stadium or GM Place arena just across the street. I'll definitely be there.
