    Setlist 3rd night
  3. Around 3 weeks away? Been waiting for this one since it was announced.




  6. You're really at the edge of things, don't you? Just kidding. Yeah, they do it to avoid the grass to be completely destroyed. The 360 tour is specially harmful for the turfs since the weight of The Claw (not the central stage) is exerted in just 4 points, and the terrain under those 4 points suffers a lot. Barça's stadium in 2009 had to withstand the enormous weight of the stage for almost 3 weeks... you can imagine how the turf was at the end.

    They don't do it at all stadiums though.

    True! Hell, football fans even today blame U2 for bad grass at Maksimir Stadium in Zagreb.

    yeah well i was just making sure

    i've never seen any photos of a stadium without turf for 360 concerts, just wasn't sure whether those were the best photos the poster could find or if that was for the show

  9. Croke Park laid new turf down after the gigs there and it was in bits for weeks. Not many were happy about it, including me

    yeah, and didn't I read that it was grown in England of all places?
  11. 'The Claw - Fucking up stadiums since 09'


  12. Indeed, that made a few people even angrier but it's only grass to me
