October 9, 2009: Bono and the U2 360 degree tour chose Tampa as the only Florida city out of their 16-venue tour across the USA and Canada. They will be performing live tonight at Raymond James Stadium (home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) at 7pm. Over 70,000 fans are expected!
The stage is a massive 360 degree structure (looking somewhat like a giant claw) that 1500 local workers have been hired to help the 350-person crew that travels with the show construct. Its purpose is to allow fans in all directions a good view of the show. Once completed, the tour manager realized they had additional room and have opened more tickets. U2 has a huge fan base and from the reports of the previous concerts, tonight's performance should be outstanding!
Again and again, we realize how much Tampa and the surrounding cities of Clearwater and St Petersburg have to offer! Whether it is entertainment, cultural events, museums (like Salvador Dali in St Petersburg), fine restaurants, international shopping, cruise port and Tampa International Airport... there is never a lack for something to do. And when you add to all of that our gorgeous white sandy beaches and breathtaking sunsets, well... definitely makes for a great lifestyle! Just check out our "Why Tampa Bay?"
