Interesting....I thought the summer tour was supposed to be a stadium tour

I am wondering if this is in fact a full fledged Bon Jovi concert or more of a rally type of thing.... hence the words "celebration concert" ?

Still.... interesting indeed.

As for it being a stadium tour this summer.. Wasn't the summer leg of Bounce described as a stadium tour? I think it was but there were a few smaller shows here and there... I saw them at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center aka SPAC which was the smallest venue they did on that leg... I am hoping they do some smaller outdoor venues again (near me preferably! :)) along with stadiums this summer.

But Mellon Arena... that isn't even an outdoor venue- let alone a stadium.... hmmmm

Yea, this is interesting. When you go to Ticketmaster it has the Heinz Field logo which would make much more sense. Either cool if there is a show in Pittsburgh. I missed the last one but should be able to go to this one.

Mellon Arena does have the retractable roof. I have a friend in Pittsburgh and she has seen concerts at Mellon when the roof was open.

Why does it take almost 20 hours to get to Pittsburgh by bus?!!!

All I know is from where I live in NJ, it's a 6 hour drive for me, and it's a boring ass one all the way down the PA turnpike. I think I'll drive to Philly and fly from there.

Its roughly a 5 hour drive by car from Toronto to Pittsburgh. Taking the bus is a heckuva lot cheaper than flying, but if I fly, the trip is a little over an hour. Maybe I have some airmiles kicking around :)

Well, they can't sell out a stadium in every market.

Heinz Field makes a lot more sense.
