The Gaylord Entertainment Center is where this year's CMA (country) awards show is being held - just for the record. Funny name though

It's a great venue!  I have always known it as Nashville Arena.

I really think they should avoid overbooking right now in the States.

Theyre getting close to the edge. Way too many shows in Cali, specifically central Cali. Sac, Fresno, and Bakersfield all in a 200 mile radius. None of these shows are selling out. Sacramento is an obvious place for a band to play, but either Fresno or Bakersfield should have been left off their plans(no offense to the people of those cities). Now it looks like theyre gonna do the same in Florida. If they are gonna play that many shows in most states, how long is the US tour gonna last? Fortus said December, but maybe those plans have changed. Doing 4 to 5 shows a state will take the US tour in to 2007.

yeah all these dates in cali and florida make me think that they won't be able to hit canada and the northern states until the new year at the earliest

Although they are somewhat destination places.. Florida - Nice weather, same with Southern Cali.. Vegas, well, is Vegas. I'm hoping that is why they are loading up in Florida, hoping people travel down just to see them asap, and take a few days off. I sure hope they're not planning on playing 4-5 shows per state.  Not yet at least.

[BluesGNR]

What about Memphis or Knoxville? Jackson, MS or Biloxi, MS maybe?

Anyone think they'll be playing Philly soon??

God I hope so.  I'm practicing my recording skills at the Aerosmith concert on the 23rd... so that'll be my warm up gig for when they get here.   

[patvalley]

I have a feeling they aren't going to book anything in Atlanta.
Damn...I just wish they would announce the whole tour now so we know which shows to get tickets for... 

[jimb0]

Yeah these sparatic dates are pissing me off.  Well at least they are playing.

[DaNutz]

but either Fresno or Bakersfield should have been left off their plans(no offense to the people of those cities).

No offense taken...Actually I already have said it was a mistake to play both these venues....Most BIG name acts, usually
are now skipping Bakersfield (seats 8,000) and just coming to SaveMart (Seats over 15,000 I believe)....Some smaller
bands do Bakersfield.

Fresno sales are really low from what I can tell....I believe most of their lower level seating is PSL (private seat license),
meaning that the tickets automatically belong to the owner of the PSL....My friend had access to 4 of these PSL GNR seats.
He said he offered them to everyone in his company, and nobody wanted them..So he took 2 of them...Expect most
of the lower level seating to be empty at show time.

The biggest mistakes though, are not announcing an opening band, no single, no promo....The opening band is
gonna need to be huge.

That's a good point, true too. So, should by this logic shouldn't we be hearing a single around mid-October, if not sooner??

Gaylord Entertainment Centre? Gaylord? Hahahahahahahaha

The Gaylord Entertainment Centre, Hilarious!

hehe, are we all allowed to say how funny 'the gaylord centre' sounds? hehe coz i know im immature but im pissing myslef here 

[madagas]

This stuff about the tour starting in late Oct is bullshit. It starts this weekend. You don't have warm up shows in full size arenas in California! They are going down a path of destruction if something doesn't happen quick! I have a bad feeling some of these shows may be cancelled.

Gaylord Entertainment Centre, I love it. Is it sponsors of the Hello Sailor football team?

  damn id support the 'hello sailor football team' anyday
