Oldies dj Steve Conley of KQK 94.1 Memphis said there was a major concert announcement to be made Monday. Here is what he posted on fb "Like we say on the radio, Coming Monday a MAJOR CONCERT ANNOUNCEMENT. This act is one of the srongest to come along in years. Its been like 20 years!! Who do you think?? I'll play one of his songs at 08:10 on KQK" He then played Get Back at 08:10AM sharp and also said it has been 20 years since he last played Memphis. Woohoo!!
Oh man..... this could totally derail my plans! Glad you were listening, Fletch!! Keep us posted!!
Mine as well. It is one that we have been expecting for a while but is quite a drive for me. Hopefully our future choices will be announced simultaneously but I'm not counting on it.

If Paul were to play Indianapolis, what is the likely venue. Could the locals weigh in?
It's a tough one. There is the arena, Conseco Fieldhouse (or...Bankers Life Fieldhouse now). I saw Paul there in 2002. But....I just don't see Paul playing an arena in the summer. The next option is Lucas Oil Stadium. It's pretty new and HUGE. It's where the Colts play. We did some research and turns out the only concert there has been Kenny Chesney. I'm sure Paul could play there - but seriously..it's really, really, really big. Besides that there is an ampitheatre north of Indy called Klipsch Music Center. But, it's pretty small and has the pavillion/lawn set up. I really don't see Paul playing there.
I think Lucas Oil is the only real option. Though I'd love an arena show. Lucas Oil - 67,000 Dallas Cowboy new stadium 80,000 (Paul played there in 2009) Citi Field - over 100,000 (Paul played there 3 night in 2010)
An arena show would be amazing! But, yeah...probably not happening. I don't think because Paul played somewhere 3 nights you can change the capacity from 45,000 to more than 100,000. Surely thousands of those people saw the show multiple times. But, regardless - good point about Cowboy Stadium. Dallas is a bigger market than Indy, but also a lot bigger than Lucas Oil. I just know from the outside it seems GIGANTIC. I've never been inside though... Hopefully I will be soon enough!
I was looking at it before when all the rumored cities were announced. Though it is big as it's a football stadium, keep in mind this is Paul McCartney. He's a lot bigger act than that no-talent Kenny whatever his name is. Paul played Soldier Field in Chicago in 1989. The Rio Stadium with 186,000. Also take into account Paul's zig zagging and how he has so few shows in the area. People from all surrounding states will make the trip to see Paul. Like I said, it's Paul McCartney.
I'm not trying to debate here. I agreed it's likely where he's playing from the get go. Let's move on.
Didn't mean to sound catty. Hopefully he plays there and I'll see you Out There.

I would not rule out arenas. After all, he just played several last fall. And if he does Memphis, would it not have to be at the BB arena, which I see is on Beale Street.
-
Have fun on vacation and dont fret! I'll keep you updated on what I hear. I do think we finally get to see Paulie back in Memphis again!
Furlow47:
I'll try! But...I'll be in England visiting my husband's family - so may not be around. Just keep me posted on Facebook and the boards. Speaking of which....this is a VERY tense time to be going on vacation! I'm ****ing out with these announcements and ticket sales!

While I hope there are a couple arena shows (I think they are better by far) I think he played Scottrade in St. Louis and the arenas in Canada because the shows were in November. He got away with the Houston Stadium because it is still warm there. I imagine Paul played a Stadium in Memphis back in 1993. Wasn't the 1993 tour all stadiums?

Was the rumored tour announcement for this morning about that other band we don't like to mention? LOL
-
I guess they do have a stadium in Memphis. 61,000. This is my bet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Bowl_Memorial_Stadium

Yep. That's where Paul played in 1993, the last time in Memphis. http://www.epinions.com/musc-review-142B-31D42DD5-3A58B9B4-prod2?sb=1

But I think Fletch will confirm that the past rumors for Memphis emanated from the Grizzlies organization.

Yes my friend who used to work for the Forum said he would be playing Memphis in 2011/12. Looks like he was off a year. The FedEx Forum is where his concert will take place. Great arena for concerts! www.fedexforum.com
