    That's spectacular.

    It's even changed since with a new retractable roof
  3. Yeah, it looks like this now.

    Seeing the claw at the Rogers Center with the roof open was absolute amazing. The CN Tower was next to it all lit up as if it were in a competition with the claw.
  5. It'll be interesting to see their take on a traditional stadium stage setup. I think we'll see the backdrop canvas be replaced by a large video screen for sure.

    Was there in 09 and 11, can confirm - this was an awesome sight.

    And I hope that's it! Maybe the handheld spotlight by Bono on The Edge...
  9. Was about to ask if there where any rehearsals or pre tour plans

  11. Sometimes they rehearse at the PNE which is a smaller venue just outside of downtown. Depending on stage set up, I'd assume they'll rehearse there again. BC Place will have other bookings leading up to the first show.
