no New York?

[cotis]

At the moment there's scheduled various concerts at MSG from Oct 23 till Dec 16 (Not every day of course).

yeah the Foo Fighers are playing there the week GNR are in the area.  So the arena is open.  But the IZOD show in Jersey IS a NYC show.  It is 10 minutes away!!  People are acting like they are skipping the area entirely.

Exactly! I could see dates in NYC such as MSG or intimate Hammerstein shows next time around, when the second leg (hopefully, this is just my own thought) kicks in around January/February 2012!

Also, it looks as if the NBA could start canceling some regular season games soon. That could free up some dates. Would be kinda short notice for ticket sales though.

It's New Jersey..It is considered a tri-state area show..As far as being approximatelly 10 minutes away that is true I suppose..But now's I's a gotta drive n' not take the LIRR..But it's worth it 4 GN'R!

I'm taking LIRR and then switching to NJ Transit at Penn Station -- http://www.mta.info/lirr/getaways/TrainToTheGame/MeadowlandsService.htm

That way, I can drink at a bar near Penn instead of the parking lot like a SAVAGE.

Taking a train to/from a GN'R show is risky..Two, now that's just asking 4 trouble..I went to the 1st 2 Hammersmith shows N' missed both return trains by mear minutes..N' to top it off instead o' the normal 1 hour wait (back to Ronkonkama) it was a 2 hour wait...One was a weekend schedule (Fri/Sat), the other a holiday (Mothers Day)..Good luck...

If they play NY it would be cool if they opened w/ WTTJ N' introed it w/ Beastie Boys Open Letter to NY..Thw WTTJ riff starting at the 4 minute mark..

I'm a NYer but I just don't see what the uproar is.  The only thing that totally sucks about Izod is that there is no place to go beforehand.  At least at MSG there are tons of bars to hit up in the area.  The area surrounding this place is downright shady and there are no cool hangouts nearby.

Parking lot tailgate again!   I'm going to the show from Brooklyn, IM taking the subway to Port Authority, taking the bus, 5 $ both ways, back, and they do wait and have serive after shows. I should know,lol got stranded by my ride at last GNR show, so found the bus back, no biggie!.lol

There is no uproar..Just a little suprised there is no MSG show, since GN'R usually N' have sold it out on multiple dates..GN'R are ot the 1st band to skip NY, VH did it on their last tour..Perhaps the MSG Union fees N' demands were too much to deal with..
